it's raining..... again

holy moley a lighting bolt just struck next to the shop and it was REEEAAALLLLY loud!

aight homies, lets get down to business...

Well the band has been kinda lackin in the crackin lately. We've suddenly slumped on our practices mainly because of all the other activities going on. But now I think it's time we got back in shape. We are gonna start practicing pretty diligently for the next two months for sho. I believe the plan is to play at a local coffee place, and if that goes good we are gonna start going all around the central illinois area to spread God's word through our passion in music. I was playing around with the idea of a London band tour :) how cool would THAT be??? but to be serious that prolly wouldn't happen for at least a year. Anyways, I'm finishing up some songs I started a while back and I'm super pumped to start practicing these ones. It's gonna be a purty interesting rest of the year...

This weekend was an interesting weekend. I think I got a whole 4 hours of sleep total (thanks for that by the way Luke Wahl, Caleb Jones, Jason Grassi, and Drew and Josh Schumacher). But it was a fun weekend. We originally had a band practice scheduled but me and c-lab were unexpectedly roped into cutting down a tree at the apartments instead. Oh well, theres always the next time. Since school has finished I've found myself with a lot more free time after I get done at work, so I've been working more on finishing some new songs and working on personal projects for people. They are mainly art projects and I DESPISE them. I mean I love to paint and draw and all that jazz but when it is done for fun it doesn't have to be perfect.

A new song is coming together and I'm pretty excited about it. It's called "Give Up" and it talks about how we hold our dreams and ambitions and even material possessions above god sometimes and we can't truly become sanctified and christ-like until we give them all up for the glory of God. I love writing this song because it is convicting for me. I have all these ideas that I've made up for my life so I can live the way I want to live, but God has his plans for me and he wants to put them into action in my life and in everyones lives, and I need to realize how much my life means to him so he can put his plans into action.

anyhoo thats all for now. I'm gonna watch teenage mutant ninja turtles and get some well-deserved slumber.

for the glory of our king,
David
