Well it's been a while. The few things that come to mind that have been memorable these past weeks are the multiple places where my band has played, the 4Th of July bash, getting a library card(very grateful for that) Getting shot at while at Barns and Nobles(read on, I'll explain) Having my family from Indiana and Illinois, come visit for a while and still finding new ways to share what I have through writing.
So I was at Barnes and Nobles with my two brothers and a friend. Just sippin' coffee outside talking. A car passes by with a lot of commotion inside. I look and see it drive off. I didn't think anything of it. Well, it's totally not the end of the story. That same car pulled up to us and opened fire!! Using a air soft gun so of course there were no casualties. It was still pretty freaky and felt like something out of a movie. I hope there won't ever be a part two.

Inside a cool low lit room added with a hardworking air conditioner is where I'm found right now. The fan blowing in my hair adds a bit more coolness to the room. Helped out Grandfather this morning with his lawn by trimming the excess grass in the backyard. Now all looks good. It wasn't as hot as it was yesterday morning. That's one of the reasons why I love the early morning. Not to get the worm but to enjoy the not so hot and blazing air. I know I must talk about that a lot but here in Texas, the heat just can't be ignored. It takes some getting used to. Maybe a few years or so will get me better acquainted.
Without a doubt this will be a very different summertime. I do love the season of summer. So many great memories of great times. I've got a feeling this one will bring many great days.
The past few days I've been reading the book of Romans, from the new testament. The book is a letter written from the apostle Paul to the church in Rome. It was written about 56-57 A.D. yet still relates to me in my life today. It encourages and strengthens. So, this is me; still learning...still growing.

Heat again, heat again. Everyday is a heatwave. Today I battled the hot sunny weather as I mowed our overgrown lawn...front and back. It made sense to not take a shower beforehand so I kept my morning body the way it was. If felt so good to get it done. So, if you happen to be driving by Military and Brownleaf in southeast of S.A. you'll notice a very neat looking lawn of grass.

In other news this Friday, a good friend of ours has arranged for us to have a photo shoot for our band. It's going to be fun. Not exactly sure what I'm going to wear though. In fact I never do until the day that something comes up. For sure I'll post a few good shots up on my blog.

Now off to youth group tonight! Let not the curtain fall on our strive to greatness.

Much has been happening these last few weeks. A lot of the same but some new gigs too. Tonight Forefront is going to be playing at a youth event. So, naturally I'm really excited.
As of right now the only way for me to connect to the world wide web, is to walk the two or three minutes to the library, where I still have yet to get my library card. I have got to get one soon.
Still writing songs. I dear friend of mine asked to collaborate with me on a new song idea. He wants to use it to change the world. I'd say that's a good idea. Sometimes if the song is great enough, it has a way of traveling and making the impact all on it's own. I'll be sure to make a note on when it will be done.
But a note for today would be to watch out for the San Antonio traffic. Especially at night. Almost hit a car the other night while driving home...almost. But all is well and I'm still alive to tell the tale.

Back in Texas. Just arrived early this morning at around 8:00 straight through without any stopping other than refueling for gas of course. Now I'm at a library, down the street from my house, resting and finally able to touch a library bookshelf. Yes, I do like books. Even more, I like to read and gather great info about life, culture, people and music. So, I'm going to go look around and give my first visit to this library a good look. I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be a big day.

Driving, moving, and not standing still. Most of the past week and a half was spent that way, and most of it wasn't even planned ahead. I'd like to think of it as spontaneous adventurism.

Here in a little city called Battle Creek, Michigan, the sights are memorable, the weather is paramount, but the greatest part of this place are the people. Great and wonderful people I feel blessed to call my friends.

So, as we leave to head out of this great state, I'm thankful for everyday that I've spent here.

Now off to Texas. Then to some other great place on my journey towards living out loud.
