I have never...

remember that game? well...I have never had the flu until now!!! Actually, i'm recovering. One week ago (Tuesday) I woke up with the chills and body aches and coughing my head off. I knew something was wrong...later found out i was runnin' a fever and I was headed back home. I was out ALL last week! Thank the Lord for sick days! I've never had the flu and never want to feel that way again!

So, i'm recovering now and slowly gaining my strength. I'm excited about the weekend. Its a 3-day weekend which means, i may have plans! I will be doing something..just not sure what yet.

I'm out!

busy busy busy

Man, what a busy past couple of weeks. In some ways, I still feel like i'm recovering from the Poland trip. As soon as i returned from Poland, there was no rest. I played several different things. It was good to play the Tennessee Valley Fair. I had a great time and what a great opportunity to get out there and introduce some people to my music. Man, i'm a blessed guy! I led at my church as well which is always fun. Then, I led at Cades Cove Fellowship in Maryville, TN. I had a great time with those folks too. Very kind people.

Ah man, busy few weeks coming up too. I'm leading worship at Middlebrook Pike Baptist Church in Knoxville for a youth event (10/3 @ 7pm). You should come! I am certainly looking forward to my long weekend in Oct. I'm going somewhere..dont know where but i'm going! God is doing some neat things in my life thats for sure. I'm hoping to begin writing for my next EP soon!! I hope you guys are doing well. Please drop a line and say hello!

Tennessee Valley Fair!!!

What a great trip to Poland...it took 30 hours to get home, but we finally made it. New York City was awesome!!!


Lookin' forward to playing the Tennessee Valley Fair this Tuesday @ the Pepsi Tent at 8:30....Be there!

Poland Update...

Well, i have a few days to catch up on...Sunday was a pretty cool day. Worship in the morning was great. It was neat to hear the Polish people singing hymns in their language, while we knew the tunes they were doing as well. Travis sang a solo, I sang two songs in worship, Kristi B gave her testimony and Josh preached on John 3:16. After we had the service, we had coffee/tea and "sweets" there. They meet in a school so we ate there with everybody that was there. It was cool. We had no activities planned that day. Josef's son and his family came for lunch and hung around all day. We just walked around and hung out on Sunday.

Monday
Monday we woke up early and were back in the schools. We sat through 3 classes again. We go into the classes and share alittle about ourselves and what we do in KNoxville. THen when we run out of stuff to talk about, we break into smaller groups and talk. This one classes remembered me being there with my guitar. One of the guys was in a punk rock band so i went and talked to his group. This guy was nailing me on.."What is a worship leader"...this is the same guy last year that asked me "what is the inspiration for your music?" I loved it. I think he is hungry for something more, just doesn't know it. After the classes were finished we came back and hung out and shopped until later that night. WE showed the movie "Mary Magdeline" It was in polish so for us americans it was torture...but we knew what was going on b/c it was Mary's take on Jesus' life. BUt, for the 4 people that gave their life to Christ...it was worth the trip!! Pray for us today as we meet the Mayor, go back into the schools, and show the film again tonight!

I miss home

BBQ at the beach!

Yesterday (Friday) was a great day. We were in the schools early in the morning and in the English classes. Everybody in the other classes seem to ask alot of questions about Travis. They seem to remember him the most. After sitting through three english classes we went back to our apartment and hung out.

We ate some good food. We have great hosts! They are feeding us well. We had potatoes and this pork/rice thing rolled up in cabbage...It was really good! From there we went into the city to pass out flyers advertising what was going on this week. We had some people tell us no and one even ripped the flyer up in front of us. However some said thanks as we passed. The language thing really stinks b/c some start to ask questions and we just have to walk away b/c we can't communicate with them.

We went to our first organized outreach which was a bbq in the park. We grilled hamburgers. Surprisingly, we had over 100 people attend this event! It was pretty exciting. All is well here and we are looking forward to another day here!
Stay tuned!

We arrived in Poland!

WOW, i'm tired. we left Newark, NJ about 6:10 Wednesday night. The flight wasn't that bad. We didn't sleep at all. ONce we landed in Berlin, it took us 45 mins to get out of the parking garage...yea, pretty funny on that. Then we get lost leaving Berlin. We arrived in our city and had a great meal. Now, we're all dead tired and waiting until 6:00 Poland time (noon in america) to go and pass out invitations. Its RAINING here which stinks. Pray for good weather! We will be going into the schools tomorrow.

Hope all is well

Well, God has been good lately. Iowa was successful and now onto Poland. There is a team of 7 of us going. We leave today at 2:00PM from KNoxville TN to Newark NJ..WE leave Newark at 5:50 and arrive in Berlin Germany. We will then travel to Poland and begin our ministry there.
