Hey all!
Happy New Year! I hope your Holidays were amazing; not so much that you collected a whole bunch-o-loot, but that you experienced and spread some life changing Love!!!
(Yeah, it's a Pinterest pic, too good not to share, but utterly uneditable! :/ )
Mine were good, but this stupid plague has put a damper on things.
Coughing so much for so long just wears one out. It's all I can do to not ceaselessly complain about the utter aggravation of it.
But - the way I see it, I can retrain my ever stodgy and stubborn brain to venture new paths when I feel the urge for a gripe-fest.
You know what's interesting?
When I think about all the good things I have to remember, savor, and look forward to - the coughing? Well, it doesn't seem so overwhelming.
I had some great jams this Christmas season. Played with some stellar people. You won't see them on the Billboard charts, but I treasure these gems, all the same.. :) (though, if you make the right Decision, you may see them in Heaven!) *wink* yeah... there were some great moments feeling that amazing, consuming Presence... :D
So here's to a healthy, productive, and Love filled 2012 for all of us! Even if it doesn't seem so great at first, remind your self of what you DO have! <3
Hugs!
PS - Thanks Pin

Hey all!!!
It's been awhile. During the almost week long power outage in the Autumn Storm, Alfred, I tried Vlogging on my iphone from the car, and it actually WORKED!
So, against all reason and common sense, I of course decided to keep it up. :P
For a sneak preview, click here, it's called 'Tales From the Driver's Seat', and yeah, SHAMELESS COMMERCE! lol.. only it's FREE!
Tales From the Driver's Seat #1
Now, onto matters of importance.
Christmas. Rehearsals. Many.
We on the worship team (just a fancy term for church band :) at New Life Church, are putting on this really cool Christmas program at the Oakdale on Christmas eve afternoon at 4 PM... If you want to be be inspired, COME!!! It, too, is free!!!
BUT, prior to that, there are a myriad of rehearsals.
Our F.L. (Fearless Leader) so named since he conducts with dynamic finesse, hears every (wrong) note, somehow by the grace of God manages to corral us into the right direction, and plays that shiny red gee-tar like a well aimed machine gun :)
I "thin" he's a lot like a younger Ricky Ricardo. (Please don't tell me that I am the ONLY one that remembers that show)... *shake my head*
So, here were are, a veritable gaggle-o-chatterboxes: cramped onto a sardine-fit platform. We don't really fit and spill off onto the floor................................ enter mass feedback... :(
So.... despite the technical issues, we really are a happy family... albeit a LARGE and enthusiastic one.. :)
We ARE getting pretty good at practicing... Hopefully we will get even better at it... and the pic? Well... you will have to ask Carlos (my musical partner in crime) about THAT one...
