Sponsor a Concert

2010-09-09T19:28:00.001-05:00

My cousin Meg’s husband’s good friend’s sister is in a nursing home in Elroy, WI. They were concerned for her because her liver is failing her. It looks as though she doesn’t have long to live. So Meg sponsored a concert to send me to Elroy to encourage and bless this special person with some glorious Gospel music. I googled the facility and figured out how long it would take me. I printed out

Not that song!

2010-08-25T20:04:00.002-05:00

“Not that Song” I was playing a show the other day at an assisted living place in Stevens Point and just as I had started playing "Somewhere over the Rainbow", I sensed the Lord tell me, "not this song now, play something else." "But I've already started it" I thought. “Just stop and play another.” "Ok." So I did. I just stopped playing and made some comment about not practicing that song (as

Alice in Wonderland - Looking past the looking glass

2010-08-18T18:36:00.002-05:00

Catherine and I finally got around to seeing that new version of Alice in Wonderland and we loved it! I am so glad that the writers and directors of this film shared such a positive message. It was a wonderful reminder to us all to have courage and faith to face your life.I loved the bit about the sword. It reminded me about the reference in the Bible regarding the “sword of the

Gospel of John Update

2010-08-17T15:29:00.003-05:00

Thanks to all who responded and took action to my previous post: Important Ministry Update (<- click to read) In that post I told of how I was in need of some help supplying large print Gospels of John for my ministry to nursing homes. It was amazing how over the next month or two, boxes of Gospels of John would show up at my door just when I needed them. For instance; at one concert I handed

New Baby on the Way

2010-02-09T12:44:00.000-06:00

Catherine and I are about to embark on the greatest adventure of our lives. We are going to be parents.I remember the day we went in for the ultra sound. After seeing the insides of our baby, it's beating heart inside it's small chest, it's bones and spine all lit up on the screen, it's tiny feet and tiny toes and tiny hands all curled up in front of it's tiny face. We were then told we were

A few of my favorite ministry stories

2009-09-03T12:26:00.000-05:00

Well Get On With It!One of my favorite stories is when I had my very first heckler. As I was playing at a facility in Green Bay one very loud lady up in the front would yell out whenever there was a few seconds break between songs, "well, get on with it!" And then when we sang Amazing Grace, she sang out real loud, " Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like you..." Lovely

"a persons a person, no matter how small"

2009-01-15T17:05:00.000-06:00

On new years day my wife and I watched the animated Dr. Seuss film “Horton Hears a Who”. The movie was hilarious and I laughed quite a bit, but it also gave me something to ponder on. One of the lines that Horton repeats a number of times is this:“…a persons a person no matter how small.”After the movie was over and I was reflecting on it, I had an “omigosh” moment when I considered the

Above is my very first music video feauturing a song called "Tiny Hands". It was inspired by the amazing movie "Bella", but mostly by my sister-in-law Stacy and her little girl Ava.Stacy was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the blood and soon after learned that she was pregnant. She was advised by her doctors to abort her child in order to recieve the treatment that would prolong her life.

For the Unborn

2008-10-23T21:25:00.000-05:00

"FOR THE UNBORN"Recently I spent some time at Barnes and Noble and way too much on a cup of coffee (down with Starbucks!). I was reading a book called "Velvet Elvis" by Rob Bell. The book was such a blessing. In it, he told a story of his friend Matt who went to visit a couple who had just lost their newborn baby. Born at two pounds, it wasn't ready to make it's entrance into the world. As Matt
