As usual it has been a while. Fortunately, however, I have some actual news to report for once! The past 3 days have been a marathon of sorts to get this cd finished, and I am pleased to say after an all nighter last night it is all done! I finished mixing everything last night and then finished up the cover. It just so happens that this is the day I am leaving for Ireland, actually typing this up during an extra long layover in Atlanta, Georgia before our direct flight to Dublin, Ireland. This trip is for John Brown's Cathedral Choir. We will be doing concerts and things of that nature to kick off the longer mission trips that will take place throughout the summer. Anyways, with Ireland being 6 hours ahead I am sure I will be tired by the time I arrive, however the cd is done!

It really is the Lord's provision that this was able to be completed in such a short time. I suppose the theme of my life as of late is that God so often seems at least to me as a God of the last minute. However, this is not the case by any means. To me He may seem so, however He has everything planned out way in advance to provide. Perhaps it is this very last minute feeling that brings us into a closer relationship and trust with Him.

I will arrive back in the states two weeks from today, and will proceed to St. Louis to play in the Sunday morning service at Efree in Manchester, and hopefully a few other places during the week. I will have the cds with me, so if you attend there or are in St. Louis, make sure to find me. Shortly I will have more dates up of where I am playing this summer as well. Well, that is all for now. I am being constantly reminded just how much better the Lord is than the world or anything in it. He provides just what we need exactly when we need it, even when it can be frustrating at times. It all leads me back to 1 Peter 1:6-7, which states that for a little while trials may be necessary to teach us what we need to learn. That being said, keep on pressing towards the goal!
