The Waiting Game!!

Not to be confused with the dating game.....God and I are playing the "waiting game". I am waiting to hear back from my job interview with GOA. I had an interview Monday.....and I think it went well. Greg and I talked a lot about the company, the programs they use, the system that they go through with all their artists, etc. Very personable guy, Greg Oliver. But he told me that I would know by the end of this week......so here I sit....waiting!! But in the mean time, God decided to fill my cup while I was in line for seconds!! Sunday night I found out that my roommate/landlord Tim received a check for John and my rent for the month!!!! Just an anonymous check covering the month of March. How crazy....I don't know of anybody that even knows how much we pay!! I think God is winning this waiting game....I am just sitting....but He is running while waiting!! Truly He is the Sustainer....He is living and active!! Hope and Peace!

ummm.....yeah

So I was eating at S.A.T. Co. on Saturday evening with some friends. It was 6:30ish and I get a phone call. Being the gentleman that I am.....I wasn't going to answer it.....but it was the person who was driving me to Little Rock, AR the next day. I thought it might be important.......it was! She called to tell me that she could not take me to pick up my new car from my brother in Little Rock........bad news! So I re-enter the restaurant and share the story with my friends. Upon hearing the new, two girls, Missy and Ruth Ann get this crazy look in their eyes. "Why don't we leave tonight and meet your brother....and then come back?" They were serious! Not having any other way to get to Little Rock (since my car left me....read the post below), I said "sure". So me, Jayme, Missy, Ruth Ann and Andrea load up in Jayme's car, with Jayme's dog and head to Little Rock..............it is 7:30 p.m. 8:00 rolls around and Jayme is not so sure about her dog....she thinks it is going to puck..........yep, all over the seat and her! So we pull over and allow Jayme to clean herself and change pants.......back on the road. 12:45 A.M. rolls around and we finally enter Little Rock, Arkansas!!! I meet with my brother Casey and his wife Rande.....he tells me about their life and about the Chevy Blazer......i tell him about my life and about my Beretta and just passed away. And we get back on the road!! After long hours, short stops, and a pucking dog......we return to Nashville at 7:15 A.M.!!!!!!!!!!! God was watching and providing!!!

So that was my weekend......how was your's!!!!!! Hope and Peace!!

Did I Say "Last Leg" I Meant "Lost a Leg!!!"

So, yesterday I told you that the Beretta (yes the one with the pink stripe!) was on her last leg. Little did I know that that last leg was about to FALL OFF. I was on my way to a car lot, to check out their selection of used cars, when the knocking in my car changed to a severe woble(?). So I quickly turned around and headed home. While praying that I would make it back, my front passenger-side wheel flew off my car, hit the wall and back into the middle of the street!! I skidded to the side and turned on my emergency lights. By God's grace there wasn't a lot of traffic behind me. So I ran out and grabbed my wheel like a protective mother runs after her child!!! Once again, by the grace of God I happened to come to a stop right at the entrance to an auto dealer that owned a tow truck. He gladly towed my car to the dealership (where I was scheduled for a check up the next morning!!). So my car sat 3-legged all night until the mechanics could check it out this morning......the repairs are crazy expensive! So a second oppinion is in the works, to see if I can get my car fixed for less than what it would cost to buy a house!!! "God I know that You are leading, and have led me here. I don't doubt that You are still in control. I know that this is completely out of my hands, and I am excited about that!! I am anxious to see how You are going to take care of me. Because the "how" is your department!!" Even when you are walking through quick-sand, and everything around you is sinking and breaking....God is still leading and we just need to follow!! Hope and Peace!!

Need a Ride!!

So the Beretta is on its last leg!! Now when I brake or coast....i have this knocking that occurs under my feet!! I don't think that is a good thing. So I have decided that I need to look for something newer and more reliable. Do you have any ideas? I am looking for something with just under 100,000 mls, and would be reliable for the next few years. I am working on an invisible budget.....so please pray that God will provide what I need....whether that be something new, or that my baby would last for a little while longer. Hope and Peace!!

Paul Wright

While writing my last blog...I was taken to California by Paul Wright. If you haven't picked up his cd "Fly Away", you need to NOW! It is especially awesome on freezing March days like today! Jack Johnson, Ben Harper fans give a shout out for Paul Wright. He has that lazy, surfer, beach bum approach. Teamed up with producer tobymac, Paul blends western surfer attitude with sweet southern comfort guitar! "Fly Away" needs to be on your iPod and/or in your car stereo today! He sings about issues ranging from longing for Christ, getting out of a bad situation, flip-flops! and chillin'!! It is providing me with a much needed vacation right now....see you when I return! Hope and Peace!

I guess we should blame Global Warming!

Today I discovered that winter actually comes after spring and before summer! I know we have been told all our lives that we must spring-forward to summer and fall-back to winter....but God is changing things...or at least He is in Tennessee! This weekend, my roomates and I were rockin out in our house with both doors open because it was so b.e.a..utiful outside! I seriously almost dropped down to shorts! Flash forward three days...today. I awoke to the sound of my roomate Timothy praising because school was cancelled because of SNOW!(he's a teacher) I guess I should unpack my parca again! BRRRR!
