Never Know What You Got.....

I wake up at 3:30am this morning and I realize that this could be the last time I spend time with my wife. See in two hours she will be on a plane headed to ST. Louis. I've always loved to fly and still do, but there's something weird about this one. I have to say I was a little scared not for me but for her. I know she's a big girl and can handle it though. I wake up with this numb feeling and start the car. As I look in her eyes I realize that I'm captured by who we are and who she is. A few turns and a gum stop at the airport I give her my last good bye. I turn and look back and almost knock over a very large muscular man. I said I'm sorry took the turn and I realized on my way down the escalator that you really never know what you got till it's (she’s) gone. She landed safely in St. Louis. Now if I can just get her back home ok. The sad thing is I can’t pick her up because I'm out on the road but it gives me more time to think about what I do have. It's all in how you look at it.

I'm For You

Tell me where it’s hurting are you burning? Running just to catch your breath and going nowhere. It’s getting old when you feel like you got nothing left. Well it ain’t over ‘til it’s over. I told you since the day we met. So let me be the voice through all the noise. Whatever I gotta be I’ll be for you. Whatever you need from me To see you through. Whatever I gotta be I’ll be for you. I’m for you If you never knew If you never knew I’m for you You know it’s true I know the feeling I know it’s real when the drama’s all in your face. You see a mountain I hear a promise – it’s never more than we can take Well it ain’t over, ‘til it’s over We can learn from our mistakes So let me be the voice through all the noise. Everyone of us will fall Have our backs against the wall. And everyone shares a need to be loved. You’ve always been for me. So I will be for you. That’s just what it means to love
Written by Toby McKeehan, Cary Barlowe and Aaron Rice.

A conversation to whom I love

Bigger and better than yesterday. That's the saying I’m caught in these days every show and every conversation. So this is a conversation I find myself having with the people I love.
Bigger and better than yesterday. Sometimes you hold so tight,
It slips right through your hands. Will I ever understand? Everything will not be the same everyday but my heart stays consistent with you. How can I beat the days that I feel are the best. If I’m always striving for the bigger and better than yesterday concept then I should be one step ahead of the game right? But I fall, I'm human. But the funny thing is when I fall I think of whom I've hurt verses what will happen to me. I keep telling my self, bigger and better than yesterday. You stay strong when I feel like letting go. Who will I be a few years from now? Am I a strong enough man to fulfill this bigger and better than yesterday concept. I hope I'm whom you've dreamed of. I hope I'm what you want me to be. I hope I'm bigger and better than yesterday.

Crazy people talk

A doctor of psychology was doing his normal morning rounds when he entered a patient's room. He found Patient #1 sitting on the floor, pretending to saw a piece of wood in half.
Patient #2 was hanging from the ceiling, by his feet.
The doctor asked patient number 1 what he was doing. The patient replied, "Can't you see I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?" The doctor inquired of Patient #1 what Patient #2 was doing. Patient #1 replied, "Oh. He's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a lightbulb." The doctor looks up and notices Patient #2's face is going all red.
The doctor asks Patient #1, "If he's your friend, you should get him down from there before he hurts himself"
Patient #1 replies, "What? And work in the dark?"

Sounds like something I would do. If you sit in the studio long enough you seem to relate yourself with bad humor.

Thoughts From A Bad Speler

When did it become ok to critique but be defensive when critiqued? I’ve been very careful with my words when critiquing. I wish we all would see how valuable we could be if we would take words with a grain of salt. It always sucks when a friend who you’ve trusted with everything shatters you. Trust is earned, but you don’t want to sound like your friend has to prove whom they are in order to own your trust, that’s selfish. I want to be excited for them when they try to succeed and help them along the way. But when you’ve put everything in to something and it gets thrown back in your face it’s hard to say, they wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. I guess I could just let it go but that lets me know that I still care of how they feel. I’ve noticed that I have a big heart and love people. All kinds and all colors. Here lately I’m finding it harder and harder to put my trust in people with low confidence in them self. The more I help I get slapped in the face. Over time you realize that they are content with who they are and what they do, no matter if it’s wrong or unnatural. I’m always asking my self this. Do I expect people to act according to how I’ve been brought up or do I expect people to go the extra mile and know what’s right and wrong. I’m falling into a rut of bitterness because of lack of trust. Better is the man who’s lost it all. Why can’t we all have that attitude? If you have something to say to someone say it to his or her face. Don’t talk behind there back and wait for it to get back to them. Thoughts from a bad speler is a way of saying back up and get the idea of what I’m trying to say verses trying to find something wrong with it. When you read this I want you to ask your self am I like these thoughts? Do I walk around being so literal that my mouth gets in the way of how I really feel? If you find your self here then maybe its time for a check up. Your mouth and the way you say things may affect your friendship and the trust of your friendship forever. Proverbs 18 &19. Again these are just thoughts from a bad speler.

What A Show!

What a show, this weekend I went with my boys from the Chasen band to fusion warehouse in Anderson SC. The place was very cool. It’s was full of high energy games TVs half court basketball etc. I do know that we had a blast at the place everyone was very nice. Although we had some technical difficulties we managed to get through the night and God did some awesome things. After that we went on down to a little place called Walhalla SC. My self and the boys really enjoyed spending the weekend with that bunch. We pull up and had no clue what to expect. That was the first church event that we’ve done in a while and it was great. Yeah some people might say that it's not Chasens typical place to perform but I felt like I went back to my roots, where I started. The Crowd was very into us and very appreciative. I want to thank everyone at open door Baptist church for opening their doors for us, no pun intended. Well as the night went on Saturday we noticed the crowd was a whole lot louder than most places we play. Sometimes you have to go back to your roots to be energized and to realize what you have. Change is good it's all in how you deal with it. If there was anything that I learned this weekend it was even though we don’t always get the best the best could make it self-known.
