Just the roadie...

My brother and sister-in-law shared this link with me. It is VERY powerful. Please take the time to view it and consider the depth of what will truly happen with our full surrender. I wish they had just left it alone with what God can do but I understand their point when it comes to the resources God has given us. It's not lost on me, however, how much God WILL do when we surrender it all to Him... I'm still so far away but am working on losing it (my control) more every day...

Hi all (yeah, the two of you that actually read my drivel)! Previously I've shared the wonderful story of Nathan, Tricia, (and of course, Gwyneth Rose). I'll include a short refresher of their story from Nathan's website : "My name is Nathan. My wife, Tricia has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and had been preparing for a double lung transplant until we discovered we were pregnant. Tricia is the most incredible person I've ever met. She keeps me humble and in love. Gwyneth is our beautiful, new, baby girl, born 15+ weeks early. Tricia is now breathing with the help of donated lungs, and Gwyneth is on her way out of the NICU and into our hearts." Today, Nathan shared another wonderful video set to one of my favorite Plumb songs, "In My Arms". It is in tribute to Mother's Day and how his wife and daughter have changed his life forever. Please check out their website and story (and have the tissues ready). I'm reminded of how much mothers contribut...

Somehow I recently came by this website. I took the test and this is who I would be as a D&D character. Yes, I admit (rather freely) I had a lot of fun with this stuff "back in the day". Don't think I turned out as a warped member of society (D&D or "real" life) from it either... Curious to see who/what you might be? Click here to find out!

Wondering what this stack 'o' reading says about me, that is... I've been trying to whittle it down and realized I have a LONG way to go! I look over the pile and am a bit frightened by how much it really says about who I am... anyone willing to weigh in with a comment?! (Yeah, I know I'm leaving myself w-i-d-e open...)

With the loss of another amazing artist (Larry Norman), I was going into a bit of a funk over those that have passed on that have had a pretty big impact on my life. Luckily, I also have artists and friends on the OTHER end of the age scale that are just as amazing and are tearing it up lately, wherever they play. Maron is one of these amazing people. I watched her grow up while living in Chicago. Hung out with her amazing family at shows, at the house, at coffeehouse(s), etc. I absolutely love her family, JPUSA (where she now lives), and what she has allowed God to do through her. This video (from a couple years ago) is SMOKIN' and they just about blow the roof off Cup 'o' Joy in Wisconsin with this number. I'm pretty sure you'll love it, too (man, I miss these guys)!

Man, more and more of "my people" are going home lately. I've lost another one with Larry Norman yesterday... >sigh First, from the earlier days... And finally, from one of his last shows (with Mike Roe of the 77's)
