I hope this new year finds you well and happy. I am in the last week of a rather restful winter break. 2007 turned out to be quite a busy year for me: a spring tour with the good ol’ Shane & Shane boys, a fall tour with the Myriad and the David Crowder band (two bands bursting at the seams with good, talented folk), an album recorded, an album released, and everything else that overwhelmed on occasion.
So after the fall tour I took some time off and it has been wonderous. Time to be with loved ones, to work on new songs, to go to church on Sunday mornings, and take naps on Sunday afternoons. It created a much missed sense of normalcy in my life.
Now as 2008 moves into full swing so must I. I’ve got one more week at home then it’s time for me to head out again. I’ll be in Texas for the better part of ten days, so I’m looking forward to seeing all you Texans out there.Alright, I gotta hit the hay, I’ll talk to you all soon. Oh, and Happy New Year!

Hey Lauren – I found out where to get Phil’s ‘Give You My World’ indie CD!!! You just message through Phil’s web site or his myspace and his ‘web team’ messages back the info
. It’s really easy, and you’ll have your CD pretty quick too. His people are great!

Oh sorry that’s *LORD* (first word of line 5), his name deserves all respect! Amen!
That’s splendid to hear Phil, I’m happy your doing great. Yeah, we all require that time to just sit back and unwind and spend our time with loved ones. I’m so pleased to here that you enjoyed yours. I ‘m so excited; I see that you have a lot of appearance dates in my area like corona, chula vista, etc. I hope I can make it to a few. Anyways, can’t wait to see how the lord uses you in 2008, cause he used you significantly in 2007! I can’t wait to hear your new songs, I ‘m sure they’ll be as impacting as the rest. Well, take care and take pleasure in the rest of your time off, hey maybe even go to Sea World or The San Diego Zoo, I love that place. I’ll be praying for you and asking the Lord to direct you and keep you full of his love and joy while your out on your tour dates. I know it must be tough to see your family occasionally, but the Lord honors that greatly, so keep smiling. I better wrap up. God Bless you and may he steer you on his path. – Kimberly

HNY (happy new year…) Phil!
Breaks are good, loved ones are good, new songs are good, church is good, and naps that aren’t during church are also good.
Happy New Year! It’s great to hear from you! That’s awesome that you’ve been able to have a break and to spend time with your family and go to church and such. All of that is very important. 2007 truly was a busy year!
Well thanks for posting a little update Phil
Happy 2008! God bless you.
Happy New Year, Phil!
Glad God has given you time to rest and soak in the things that He has done!
Ha and Happy New Year, Philip. There’s so much you’ve missed…Did you read all 100 something comments from the last post? We’re sorry for bothering you we were just concerned for your safety. My friend and I already had a plan to go save you…
YOU’RE ALIVE!!!!!!!!
