Having a good time praising the Lord...


Yep. There I am, screaming my brains out. This picture was taken from a good friend of mine, Mary, who was a speaker at last weekends conference. I think I posed funny for it, or maybe this is what I actually look like. At this point, who knows?

This last weekend I led worship for 1,000+ Charismatic Catholics. They were really cool. I mean, these cats know how to worship. It was really fun because they have a good sense of humor about them, too. Saturday night they had a healing service- it was amazing! I also got to catch up with some people I hadn't seen in a while.


Tomorrow I start another conference for priests, deacons, and seminarians. That goes all week (M-F). Then on Friday I have the first of 4 high school youth conferences! It is a bit busy, but really awesome. The band I am playing with ROCKS. Here's a fun picture of us all. The conference office wanted a picture of us, so we dressed up in Western apparel (I had some for my bluegrass gigs) and had a great time. Now, those of you who went to the conference might realize that this is not the picture that ended up in the publicity. Why? I think they thought we looked too crazy. Ah, well. What are you gonna do?

Keep us in your prayers this week and weekend. God is doing great things. My wife is going a crazy a bit because I'm so busy I'm not getting things done around the house. The number #1 thing on her list? The 2005 Christmas letter we never sent out because I haven't finished writting it yet. Oops. I figure I have a 6 month window, so if we get it out by June 25, we should be okay. Right?

Oh, in other cool news, I got a song reviewed by TAXI, which is a music A&R company. When you use a company called Disc Makers, you are allowed to send one song in for review. I sent in "My Things Need More Things" from the Nowhere Else to Go CD. You know what they said? "I enjoyed this song immensely (and relate to it way too much)." That was a nice affirmation.

If that picture is from the Young Adults Conference, I believe you posed for it.

A couple years ago, I purchased an MP3 player at Best Buy and several of your songs were on the player. The song, Are you Amazed has traveled with me strengthening, reminding me of God's neverending Love for me. As I would listen to this song, God poured down his presence into my heart in such a powerful way. It is an amazing song and remains my favorite. I say it is God's love song to me, and has blessed me so. I got the MP3 before my first marathon, and since then have completed 3 and several other smaller races. Thank you for your music, and blessing my life. Interesting enough, God has lead me back to the Catholic Church where I am now a member of Holy Family in Inverness. Perhaps, sometime you can come and visit. I would love to hear you play live. Your pictures of your family are beautiful! God Bless, Roxanne
