Snow in the south...

It's snowing in ATL and I have to admit that I LOVE snow. I wish at times that it would snow all winter...but then again I think too much of something makes you sick of it.

We are finished tracking the guitars, drums, and most of the bass tracks for the new album. We are still working through album titles, but I think we have settled on one. We will release that asap. Back to the ALABAMA vs. TEXAS game and SNOW!!

What a Weekend

Courtney and I had the opportunity this past weekend to travel back up to NJ and see some good friends. My friend Trevor got hitched and it truly was a one-of-a-kind wedding. There was a countdown to the wedding, there was worship music before (with full band and light show) and then the actual ceremony. It was definitely memorable. We flew back in to GA around 9:30 and I got back to the house in time to see Georgia get their butts handed to them. I will have to admit, I saw this one coming. 

Down in Georgia, we are having a bit of a crisis. THERE IS NO FREAKIN GAS! Luckily, I do not live too far from work and will resort to riding a bike if needed. It is pretty crazy to drive by a gas station and see a ton of cars lined up to get as much gas as possible. I have even heard people saying they had to call in to work because they could not make it. Some say recession, others say depression, and I personally do not know. It is hard for me to compare what is going on in the economy today to the depression of the 1920's.

I was reminded on Saturday of how much we must rely on Christ for all our needs. If you look in Exodus 16, you can see how God supplied just enough food for His people to survive. It was never enough for them to save, because if they did so, it would rot and would no longer be edible. We have to trust God, we have to run after Him, we have to surrender our wants and come only with our needs for that day. I can pray and ask all I want for a beautiful new guitar, but I do not NEED it. At this point, I do not NEED gas, I have plenty enough to get by. I know that if I did NEED the gas, Jesus would provide for me. But for now, I got legs, so I can walk if I have to.

Update

It has been an interesting week down in Georgia. I have been trying to tie up some loose ends with the Elevate Conference. It's only two weeks away! I am looking forward to seeing the west coast again.

I talked with Jon today about the worship E.P. and he has gotten Without You finished and is sending it to me this evening! I am really looking forward to hearing the final cut. Some of you have previewed the quick mix at the Myspace page . I will post the full length song soon, so keep checking back!

I have some other news to post at a later date, so keep checking the myspace and the blog for more info!

Perfect

Today was a perfect day for golf. I went out this morning to play some golf before going into the church. If I could do that everyday, that would be awesome. It's so relaxing to go out and play some golf, spend some time in prayer, and take in all God has created.

Just a few more days until we make the drive back down to Atlanta. I am looking forward to a lot of things.

Things I am looking forward to:

- Pumping my own gas
- REAL Mexican food
- Grilling out on the deck
- Seeing my new nephew
- Knowing where I am going
- Lower taxes

Things I am NOT looking forward to:

- Pumping my own gas (just when it's cold or raining)
- The beach is at least 4 hours away
- Leaving some good friends we've made
- Higher gas prices
- No more Sugar Hill Subs (best ever!)

Go DAWGS!

Well, in case you didn't catch the Sugar Bowl: UGA 41 - HI- 10.

Next season, it's time!

WAVE THAT FLAG HIGH BABY!

Prayer Kills

Sunday, September 2, 2007- Prayer Kills

At church Sunday, we had a lot of prayer incorporated in our worship. We simply took some time during one of the songs and invited those in the congregation that needed prayer to come forward. It was amazing to see the response. I am going to start posting some videos of the worship service (just clips, nothing too crazy) so that you can get an idea of what we do at Shore Fellowship. I wish that I could come up with another word to describe God's amazing love. He is really working in our hearts up here in Jersey.

As for the new record, I am still demoing out some new tunes to get to Glen so he can start chewing on them. That's about it for that.

Saturday, September 1, 2007- GO DAWGS!
My Georgia Bulldogs kicked it! Taking some critics by surprise on Saturday when they defeated Oklahoma State 34 – 14. I was pleased with the performance. I do think that we have some issues on defense that need some work, our line is a little weak, but it was only the first game. This Saturday, the Dawgs take on South Carolina. This is the SEC opener and I am already on the edge of my seat.

Glory, Glory to old Georgia
Glory, Glory to old Georgia
Glory, Glory to old Georgia
GEO- R- G- I – A!
