It is amazing that I'm even posting on here, considering my record for the past month. But I hope that you'll lack in vengeance and overflow with joy at my actions. Here I sit over a cup of good dark coffee, wondering what I'm going to do about my project that is due tomorrow. I'm absolutely overwhelmed by what God's done in the past few months. Here's an update. The most prominent thing in retrospect is God's action in Elissa's life. We're all open here, so I'll tell you myself, since she probably will try to beat my record for not posting for the longest time.

Plain and simple, Elissa was doing too much, and trying to have control of her life. We're all control freaks over something though, aren't we... Lyric Theater was doing the musical 'Babes in Arms', which is a play about a play (which is something that usually irritates me very much, but this one was good). Elissa had a major role in the singing and dancing, plus the rest of everything that she was trying to control schedule-wise. God up and stopped all that with what we thought was a hernia. The funny thing was that she never did anything that would cause one to have a hernia. But whatever it was stopped all singing and dancing and even walking cold. She was only able to walk short distances and could not even go to class for about a week. God took that time to show her that He is her Rock and shield. Turns out, she has Cat Scratch Fever. No, literally! When she first told me that, my response was "Isn't that an album?" Well, yes, but it's also the name of what she has, which is something you get from being scratched by a cat. Anyways, she's getting better and she's on a lot of drugs right now, but God's teaching has stayed with her, and that's the point.

As for me, God has been teaching me values. And teaching me not to think. That may sound like a bad thing, but if you know me well, you know that I think way too much and over-analyze (anybody catch the word 'anal' in there) everything. It's amazing how much more real life gets every day. Thank you guys so much for being patient with us. Please pray for us as we go about our lives and as we try to prepare music for things ahead. Come out and see us when we open for Dishwater Blonde at New City Cafe on November 29th. And if you know somebody from that band, give 'em the address for this website and tell them to contact me because I want to ask about doing posters for the concert around school. I looked up dishwater blonde on google and got all sorts of things that no one should look at. So that didn't work.

Thanks so much for praying for us. Please let us know how we can pray for you too. Always seek the Lord. I'm going to try and work on my project for tomorrow (or later today, as the case may be) now. Praise God that He showed me where the assignment was! I guess I've got to get it done now. I love you all. Grace and peace from our Lord and Savior.

Out of boredom with this website, I'm beginning to make some other changes as well. Not that I really have time, what with school and all, but it's sort of a procrastination thing.......or something. Thanks for being so patient with us. We're in the midst of working on perfecting musical things and setting up gigs and other stuff. This semester is a complete killer, and it makes it difficult to do the music along with all the other stuff. Also, I think we've been in the 'ok, the honeymoon's over' stage for a while, and I think we're starting to see the end of that, so that's a definite plus. Please pray for us as we continue to try and minister through the opportunities this provides, and as we try to be diligent and strive for new things musically without just wading through creative mud. We're also trying to apply to do worship at Centrifuge next summer, so remember us in that aspect as well. Thank you all so much. Hey, if you want a website that gets posted on more often, go to Andy's blog, or go to Joe Mayfield's site, since it's a whole lot cooler than ours. Anyways, all that stuff aside, thanks for praying. We love you guys!

By the way, new concert info is up, and we're hoping to get a few more set up.

So it's October. Cold air has set in and we absolutely love it. God has given me another mentor since Landon has left, and he's an awesome guy with a heart to follow Christ. Andy and I are in the midst of writing a song about Caleb. I'm going to start trying to write more often. This school year has been so hectic that at times I can barely hear myself think. Of course, that's probably best. God is continuing to teach me. He is absolutely full of joy and love. He is endless and He is good. Taste and see.
