Howdy Folks! Hope all is well we are just hangin a few more days at home until we head out to Louisiana Saturday and Sunday. We had a great time the other night with the students of OSL on there big debut concert at the church. It was amazing we had about 1000 people there and it was an amazing time of worship and praise! I will post a couple of vids of the students, they really did do an amazing job! Other than that we are recording a freshman EP this week of a few of the songs they have written over this year! I cant wait for people to hear what these students are writing. If you are unfamiliar with what I am talking about: Shane and I are Professors at the Oaks School of Leadership in the Worship track! We work with young worship leaders in the areas of songwriting as well as discipleship. It has been an amazing year thus far and we are really enjoying or time with these peeps! If ya wanna check out how to be apart or apply go to: http://oaksleadership.com/ to check it out.
Anyway, I am gushing about this program but we really are seeing the Lord do some amazing things in all of our lives students and staff alike.

My Daughter birthday is coming up on the 19th and my wife and I decided on getting a swing set. I saw this one at Costco and thought this doesn’t look to difficult so, I purchased it in 6 boxes. 2 full days later with some significant help from good friends, we did it! Joey, James and Dan ended up saving me from not only injured pride but utter defeat from huge stacks of wood and hardware. If you decide to ever build one of these make sure you have help. I started to do this by myself and I would say this in hindsight, “IT CANNOT BE DONE!” So take a couple of Days off with some friends and family and go to work. It really was a good time. We will unveil the structure on Tuesday the 19th! I cant wait.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year.
We had such a great time on the Christmas tour, thank to everyone who came out.
Looking forward to 2010. Plugging back in at the church and with our small group.
I did not really have any New Years resolutions but I would love to hear a few.
Heading out on the Road next week with Phil and Bethany. We had such a good time last year we decided to do it again!!!! Check out the dates in the tour section, you can also go ahead and pick up some Tixs. Have a listen to some Christmas songs of of our Christmas record “Glory in the Highest” to get in the mood on S&S radio!
Shane and I just had our first effort as producers other that an own music come out. Our Worship team is really great and we wanted to let poeple hear and experience what we get to see week in and week out. We really love these guys and I know you will as well.
The Album is called Awaken Me. Shane and I wrote quite a bit on this record and sing lead on a few songs.
Here we are back in our wonderful state. Shane B’s brother Justin has just opened a new pizza place in Lubbock called West Crust. We just sampled the menu and wow. Pizza is always good but this is quite special. By the way did I mention, I love pizza.
