Writing process part 2

We spent all day Saturday working on one song. It was tough work. We have an idea down but I feel it's not everything it needs to be. Creativity is a hard thing to capture and tame. It's like a squirly animal that had too much caffeine. It comes spontaneously and then goes away without permission... The song we are working on is called "American Church". It's adapted from an old hymn that cries out to the church to wake up, get out there and do God's work. There are many people in need of Christ out there, believe it or not. I think this real need is often hidden/masked by our generation's loud cries of scientific atheism and self elevating existentialism.  I feel most of the time those cries are merely a distraction to hide their pain and confusion. Deep within that post-modern crowd are hurting souls longing for a loving God that can save them and forgive them. We need to be God's love to those who are hurting, to those who are searching for truth and significance in this crazy and often brutal world. 


I challenge you to tell your story of how you came to your faith in Christ to a non-christian co-worker,fellow student, friend, or stranger... today. You can work it into a conversation and it can be a couple of sentences long. Nothing too complicated, just your simple story. Nobody can argue with your story, it's your story. It's easier than you think. Pray for God to open up the door in a conversation, see what happens and let me know :)  

Love Ya'll,

Writing process

Hey everybody!

I just wanted to let you know that we've started the writing process for our up coming musical project. We have been leading worship at The Colony College group for a couple of years now, and we'd like to get a 4 track demo CD out by Christmas, God willing. Were working on all original content, all centered around Christ Jesus, exalting and worshiping Him for who He is.

 If you get a spare 20 seconds, please pray for us in this effort. We desperately desire to be led and inspired by the Holy Spirit in these songs. We believe He has so far, the music sounds pretty sweet. Please pray we keep our focus on God and his will concerning our musical efforts and that doors will open so we can encourage and help mobilize the American and Worldwide church with our music in the future. Please pray for our individual relationships with God, that they might flourish during this time and not wither from the worries and stresses of this world. 

On the same note, please let me know if there is anything I (or the band) can pray for you about. This prayer thing ain't a one way street :)! We're all in this together. 

I'll keep you posted on our efforts. Hopefully with some pics and video of our writing and recording process coming up soon! I hope all is going well in your life. I encourage you to keep you focus on Christ and his work for us on this earth. We only have one life to live for our God and King. 


PeAcE!!!
