Who's that weird guy in the glasses?

      So here we are once again...AVID back in action. It was great getting to play with my old band buddies. For those who aren't familiar with us, AVID stands for A Voice In the Desert, and they were my frist band I was part of. We've been together since '98 I believe and have gone through a whole bunch of changes. Jonathan, our leader left for the Air Force last year to move to San Antonio, T.X., so you can guess what happened with us! Anyways, it was awesome just playing with them again and jamming too. Always good to connect back with my "roots."

      We've been through thick and thin and seen God do amazing things and use us in amazing ways. All glory to God though, none to us. It was especially a blessing getting to lead worship for all of our fellow Binghamton IV fellowship alumni friends. Wow...talk about blast from the past. It was so weird at first talking to people because we didn't know what to say!

"Hey! Long time no see! How have you been?!"
"Good, good!"
"How's work?"
"Good"
"How's life?"
"Good"
"How's church?"
"Good"
"Cool, cool...anything else going on recently?"
"No, not much really. Everything's been good though"

And that was about it...though some conversations went further than that.

      Sometimes I wish in my heart God would've called us to go full-time with the ministry we had because I really believed it was something special that God put together. But I realized it was for a season of time and when we thought about our individual callings and direction, we knew that it wasn't with each other, unfortunately. But it's not something to be sad about, only to be joyful that we had the time together we did. But man...I do miss playing with them and it's always so much fun when we play, have fun and goof off together. I look forward to more opportunities to minister together in the future. Love you guys man!
