I just wanted to keep you all posted on things that are happening with me and my music… I will be releasing a new album with my band, evenstill, in about 5 or 6 weeks.  We will have a lot going on at our website when that happens and we’d love for you to join us and participate in contacting your local Christian radio station and requesting our music.  We look forward to what the Lord has in store for the coming year!

P.S.  The entire album, “The Heart on My Sleeve” is now available to download for whatever price you are willing to pay (even free!).

This is what I typed over at evenstill’s website this morning:

So… I was awakened from my slumber this morning at about 4:15 (I think)… in Sterling, Kansas… in a strange person’s bed (we’re staying with Brad and Pattie Nix… great friends… though Brad IS strange!)… and God told me to get my rear out of bed and pray.  I was prompted to pray for our new friends at Westbrook Baptist Church and Venue 302 in Hutchinson.  God is doing mighty things among the people in Hutchinson… smack in the middle of Kansas… who would have thunk it?!  I prayed for our upcoming morning service at Venue Sterling and for the Youth Alive service back in Hutchinson.  I prayed for each of our churches that we are away from this weekend… Highland Terrace, Trinity Baptist, Trinity Fellowship, Ridgecrest…

Then I popped onto Facebook, curious to see what other crazy folk were out there up at hours of the day that I sometimes forget exist… there was my friend, Sarah Thompson… in India… where it’s not such a crazy time of the day (it’s actually mid-afternoon).  Sarah asked me to pray for her lost friends there in India… so I did… This morning, Sarah’s burden for the lost became my burden for the lost.  I’m hoping today that my burden for the lost will become your burden for the lost… will you pray for Sarah Thompson and her friends in India… will you pray for life-changes on the campus of Sterling College… pray for the people desperately searching for hope today in the greater Hutchinson, Kansas and Greenville, Texas area… and pray for us… that we become empty vessels that long for nothing but to give God all glory and honor.

God prompted me this morning… He’s probably prompting you as well… are you snoozin’?

Kimberly, Micah, and I are in Kansas for a few days and we are enjoying the change of scenery… there’s a lot of openness around these parts!  I was invited by Dr. Brad Nix (an extremely close friend of mine) to come to Sterling College (in Sterling) as a guest artist as part of the music school’s Concert Series.  I did a songwriting workshop for a small number of students this afternoon and will do another one on Monday afternoon and then will be leading in a worship concert on Monday night with evenstill.  The band will also be leading worship twice tomorrow at Venue 302 in Hutchinson and will then lead worship at the Venue Sterling campus on Sunday morning and finish up with the Youth Alive service Sunday night with Westbrook Baptist Church (all of these services are parts of the same church).  Should be fun!

So… heading down to Tyler on Saturday with the rest of evenstill to visit Rosewood Studios.  I’m really excited about this visit as this is a truly top-notch studio with great engineers.  I’ll keep you all posted on developments with this and with all updates that happen with the band.
