Hey all, hope this blog finds you well, and I hope you have been enjoying these summer months. It can be a wholesome time can’t it? Camping, smores, fairs, berries, baseball, BBQ’s, swimming. I really love the season myself. San Diego summers are some of the best in my opinion. I have fond memories of being in the high school youth group in the summer time. We would pile into the old church vans that were designated for us “youths”. You know the ones. Stains all over the place, foam and metal sticking out of the seats, the same old DC talk cassette playing because the eject button hadn’t worked since the 90′s. We would make the 10 minute drive to the beach, start up a roaring bonfire and sing worship songs till the stars came out. (sigh)
This summer has been a fairly busy one for me and the rest of the crew. I’m officially naming this summer the “Summer of Conferences”. It seems as though we’ve been a part of one for every demographic. Conferences for college students, for high school students, for middle school student. Conferences for pastors, for worship leaders, for men and for women. From Desperation in Colorado Springs, to Joyce Meyer in St. Paul Minnesota, we’ve been to quite a few. And you know what? I’ve been enjoying them. There’s something kind of cool about pin pointing a large group of people that all have something in common, because you can point them to Jesus a very specific way that’s relevant to them.
I’ve also been doing something else I’m very excited about this summer. I’ve been recording a Christmas Record! I know! So fun! It’s got 10 tracks with 2 original songs, 7 well known songs, and a little instrumental fun one. It’s almost done, so it looks as though it should be available late this fall. I think it’s just going to be called “Songs For Christmas” unless a better name comes to mind… Maybe you can help? Can’t wait to share it with y’all. My biggest goal was to create something classic enough for people to play in their houses while they’re decorating their tree, yet unique enough to stand out from the thousands of other Christmas records out there. Don’t know if we hit the mark, but we did our best. There will be more on that in the future.
Thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave a comment or two.
Any amazing things happening in your lives this summer?
talk to you soon!
