Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I certainly enjoyed being home with my family!

December has been a fairly slow month for me - as far as meetings go - but I have had plenty to keep me busy!
I have started writing an Easter-type cantata (script/music) - I'm not sure how long that project will take me :) I have also been working on some other music projects.

My sister and I were able to go down to Madison the Saturday afternoon before Christmas and hand out Christmas gift bags/tracts to some of the homeless down on State Street. We met up with my friend Tank and he took us down to the Capitol basement where a lot of the homeless hang out during the day to keep warm. The bags were handed out in no time! It was a blessing to be able to help in some small way.

Lord willing, I'll be hitting the road again this coming Monday. I'll be heading over to the Detroit area for the SGI (Student Global Impact) Conference which is held Monday night through Wednesday night. I went once while I was in college and I'm looking forward to being able to go again now! It is a great and spiritually refreshing way to start the new year!

From there I'll be heading down to my grandparents in IL. I'll stay with them for about a week and a half or so. I have a couple of meetings in IL scheduled for January.

Please pray for safety - pray for the weather to be good! Also, if you think about it, please pray that my new computer comes in by this weekend - my old one basically died on Christmas day!
Never a dull moment!

When the Rains Descend

When the Rains Descend
Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.

When the Rains Descend is a collection of poems written to be an encouragement to you as you face the downpours of life. May you rest in the Lord and grow closer to Him day by day.
