Your Turn, Let me Know!!

So I have been less frequent with the blogs which is a result of a heavy day job work load, I have been doing the better part of two jobs since December of last year, lots of recording activity, and some extra curricular and social on top of that. All in all a great last few months.

I have been pleased and surprised to find that the traffic to the site and this blog has been very high (for me) in spite of the intermittent blogging. The host service I use only provides the stats in unique visitors per week. I would love to see it per month, but maybe I can find that out another time. Right now I am over 400 unique visitors a week - and - some of you are starting to download the sheet music from the CD, I am assuming to use for church or personal use. Obviously that is exciting to me, so let me know how you are using it and how it is going. Drop me a line, or a comment.

Talk to you soon.

Life's Little Questions

The ebb and flow of life has been poetically described in so many ways. I do like the biblical metaphor of hills and the valleys. I think it is nearly impossible not to identify emotionally with that metaphor if you can breathe, and you have ever taken in more geography than a flat square few miles of the prairies.

And what do you do when you ride the roller coaster ride of life, trying to piece together the bizarre, the illogical, and the blessing of family and friends?

You stay the course. What course? For me, the course that Jesus Christ set in His last words here on earth, to fulfill a promise God made to provide a way to know Him. Jesus said, what Ezra modelled - Learn, Do, Teach. He said go and make disciples teaching everything I have commanded you. (ref: the whole passage Matt 28:18-20)

I would love to say staying the course flattens the hills and valleys - but it doesn't. It does give you strength, hope and vision to keep walking when at times you would rather not.

Day 2 or Drums

Well another day of tracking on the drums for the CD. It was a great day in terms of getting some amazing cuts, but I had more technical difficulties today than I have had since the day I acquired all the new gear. It was a minor frustration to the sessions, and now I need to figure out if there is some tweaking I can do to prevent similar issues in the future, but all in all very exciting as we got three more tunes in the can.
