2012 January Video Newsletter

January 17, 2012

Check out this great video!

A few months ago I was telling my daughter, Charity how much I loved her. At least, that was the goal. As I sat at my barstool drinking my morning coffee, I was struck by the simple innocence she has so naturally. She was twirling and pretending to be a dancer of some kind and I wanted to let her know how beautiful and loved she is. So I asked her to come and sit on my lap so I could tell her how much I love her.

"Charity," I started off, "do you know what?"

Our God is Greater

March 10, 2011

Thaddeus and I kicked off our 2nd annual "Forty Days of Praise" tour this past Sunday. In 3 days, we've traveled through 10 states. We've been driving hard to get out to Tuscon, AZ to play a few dates with our friends in the Emmaus Band. I've been on the road for only a half a week now, but I have to say that one of the things that always gets me about a cross-country road trip is the grandeur of God's creation. Thaddeus, who always does a great job of documenting things, has been taking some pictures.
