Current happenings
I walked in this morning, sleepy eyed, to a building quite barren of people. Lights were on, things were up and running, but there were hardly any people here.
The Keynote women have gone off to their annual retreat down in Nashville, Indiana (that's right, there's a Nashville in Indiana) and so all of us men here have been left behind to occupy the office space ourselves. But, with all the women gone, most of the married men with children have to now stay home to take care of their kids.
What does that mean for the singles??? LOTS AND LOTS OF TIME TO OURSELVES WITHOUT WOMEN! (noisy male sounds spontaneously erupt)
But in all seriousness, I do hope the Keynote women have a fabulous time and that the Lord truly blesses them and fills them with His presence and love. Many of the Keynote women, unfortunately, do stay home almost all of the time. It's hard for them to feel connected to a ministry they barely even see! So, this is a time for them all to come together, fellowship, be refreshed, and affirm each otheras women of God.
blue sky nine has just been going full force in rehearsals and I've just been SUPER exhausted. Last week felt like I was in a rat race, just barely struggling to survive. I was doing well in rehearsals and such but the rest of my life was suffering.
What I mean is that the menial tasks of life were taking a back seat and after a while, it starts to take a toll on you. Things like laundry, eating right, picking up your clothes, and cleaning around the house begin to pile up and then you find yourself spending four to five hours on a Saturday afternoon playing "catch up." I hate that feeling...but with time constraints and the zillions of activities that fill my life it's been increasingly hard recently to keep up with the mundane details of life that make it...well...life.
I'm excited about our Texas tour that will be happening towards the end of February. We'll be right outside Austin, going down to the border of Mexico, and in in Nacogdoches as well. After that we'll be headed to Arizona and then end our first tour at Keynote's golf challenge and vision dinner out in California. Cali! woohoo!
After that we come home and rest for a week before we head out for Albania and Kosovo. Talk about the touring life! We'll be all over the globe this touring season and I am UBER excited about the opportunities that God has given us in the months to come. It is certainly a very exciting time.
And I forgot to mention to you all that I'll be planning a little spiritual vision journey, if you will, to visit Israel, the promised Land. I'll be there for five days with Kevin, bassist for blue sky nine.
We're planning to stay in Tel Aviv and visit Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and hopefully Bethlehem too. We want to visit the Jordan River, but given the tension between the Palestinians there in Israel, that might not be the smartest idea. Pray for our safety!
The rest of the week looks like practicing and refining my music material so when we come back into rehearsal on Monday, I'll hopefully be at full strength. Praise God for His provision and giving me rest and "time off" when I need it. Blessings all
