Be Irrational


Love this thought to think on and ponder while you ruminate…
From Seth Godin

Irrationally committed
If you’re looking for the sensible, predictable, long-term strategy, this probably isn’t it. Except when it is.

Entrepreneurs who are irrationally committed to their business are far more likely to get through the Dip…
Salespeople and service providers and marketers who are irrationally committed [...]

Music Video Shoot


7am this morning, awoke and made my way to someone else’s house to start filming a music video for ‘Love Never Fails’, which just may turn out to be one of the most embarrassing things I have ever done.
Love Never Fails is a song written by myself and Gio Galanti, one of our kids album [...]

Joke #16


Once every now and then I find a joke worthy of immortalisation… here is the most recent.
I had a Japanese intern once; I asked him to get some supplies and he never came back. In the end I went to look for him and he jumped out waving his arms and shouted “SUPPLIES!”
Ha!

Networking News


So a dude by the name of Michael Chanley started a site called cmconnect.org
You can see his page on the site here http://www.cmconnect.org/profile/MichaelChanley
This site is part of the Ning.com network which simply according to them is an “online service to create, customize, and share a social network.”
Which is a fantastic way to start a site. They provide [...]

Guitar Mania


More studio goodness. 
The album maybe called ‘Follow You’. Which may just be the most rockin’ track we have ever produced.
Nigel Hendroff came and played with us for this one, and I can say that I have never seen him so excited about recording a song ever! I am sitting here with Gio editing this puppy [...]

Gettin’ Serious


So first night at the Grove Studio for 2008 kids album. Lots of work to do. But I am up for the challenge. There are a couple songs I believe will be VERY powerful for kids to sing. So next two weeks are spent getting ready for recording on 8th October. Pictured Andrew Crawford recording [...]

Three Posts of Awesomeness


Here are a few great posts I read recently:
Notes from Reggie Joiner

A lot of kids leave church experience rich but relationally poor
What is the purpose of kids applying what they learn? So they can see God and others can see God in them.
No one is more strategically positioned to experience all levels of spiritual growth [...]

Wisdom


The older you get the more you realize you don’t know.
Just when I think I have an insight or handle on things I see or hear a quote that blows me away.
I am a student of culture. I study it, disect it, look for the good in it and generally spend my life searching for [...]

Writing songs


Now in my previous post Theophilus…
I did use the metaphor about giving birth, which I understand is a foolish thing for a male to do under any circumstance. But just read this quote from Ryan Adam’s;
What I do and what all musicians do is easy. All we have to do is sit down for a [...]

Giving birth


So it’s midnight and I just finished a song (hopefully) for our upcoming kids album.
My wife Beci is in bed and here I am all inspired about kids worshipping God and keeping her awake.
I think it will be a powerful song. Talking about Jesus being near, and wanting to spend the rest [...]
