Shows!

Come see me this weekend if you live in the DFW area. Friday night, I'll be playing a concert here as a benefit for this ministry.

Saturday night I'm leading worship here for this dude, who many of you will recognize as a percussion genius that sat in last year for a house concert in beautiful Sanger, TX. I'll have a full band for both nights. Should be fun. If you want more details, email me or comment on this post.

Finally, I think I deserve some props for maximum link-age in this post. Just sayin'.

Pay what you want.


I like "pay what you want." Those of you who have attended any of my house concerts know that I utilized this method there. I've found that people generally pay well when they are given the freedom to decide what something is worth. For the buyer, it's a chance to act as a sort of "art appraiser," and for the seller/artist, it's a chance to walk in faith. Win/win, right?

Well, these people agree, and they now carry my music. Right now, they only have my most recent project, which most of you probably already own. However, I hope to release an EP of some sort within the next few months, and I'll probably sell that project there as well.

Anyway, for now you can check out the site. I'm on the "most recent" page, right at the top. If any of your friends don't have my music, feel free to send them there and tell them to pay what they want. It's a win/win.

Post #127

Happy New Year everybody. I couldn't think of any good titles for this one, so I just took some data from my blogger dashboard. I do what I have to to keep things lively around here.

The writing retreat was a huge success. I mean, I don’t know if I wrote any huge hits, but I definitely accomplished the goals that I set for myself. I completed 3 songs (2 of those were “from scratch”) and half-pseudo-almost-wrote 5 others. It’s weird how productive I can be when I sit in a quiet room with nothing to do but pray, read, and write. Thanks to everybody who said a prayer for my time. And thanks also to anybody who really wanted to pray but instead spent their daily prayer time praying for starving children or world peace. Those are really important things too.

I made some great progress on the children’s record that I mentioned a while ago. Thanks again to all of you who gave me ideas. I won’t tell which ones I used just yet, but I can say that a few of you are going to find yourselves in the liner notes of my huge international smash hit record.

That’s all for now. I’ve a got a few gigs coming up that I’ll write more about soon. In the meantime, be looking for my music here. What a cool idea! I’ll have it up there sometime this week.

One more thing. I've found that more people read this blog when there are pictures of my kids, so here's another recent shot of my precious little heartbreaker:
