My New Favorite Song

This could be my new favorite song...enjoy!

Pro Tools 8

A great BIG thank you goes out to the person who purchased Pro Tools 8 for me...It's AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Now...to learn how to use it properly. :)

What Equipment I'd Like Next

I'm using Pro Tools more and more now for loops / programming / clicks on stage Sundays in our worship services. I'm running an older version of the software that "technically" is not supposed to work with my computer's operating system...as a result, Pro Tools crashes on a regular basis.

So, I'm hoping to upgrade to the latest version of Pro Tools that is designed to work with my computer's OS and then maybe my days of crashing in the middle of service will end.

Amazing Grace

Josh Wilson does an incredible rendition of Amazing Grace.

Better Than Drugs

I was listening to a song this morning by the band, Skillet. It's their song entitled "Better Than Drugs." I laughed and made a joke with someone, that's a funny way to offer praise to God, by telling Him that He's better than drugs...then I looked up the lyrics and I was actually moved by them. I enjoy Skillet's music, but I'm probably not their "target audience" and as I read these lyrics with their target audience in mind I had a completely different take on the song. Why don't you read these lyrics and comment if you so desire.

Better Than Drugs / by Skillet

Feel your every heartbeat 
Feel you on these empty nights 
Calm the ache, stop the shakes 
You clear my mind 
You're my escape 
From this messed up place 
'Cause you let me forget 
You numb my pain 

How can I tell you just all that you are 
What you do to me 

You're better than drugs 
your love is like wine 
Feel you comin' on so fast 
Feel you comin' to get me high 
You're better than drugs 
Addicted for life 
Feel you comin' on so fast 
Feel you comin' on to get me high 

Feel you when I'm restless 
Feel you when I cannot cope 
You're my addiction, my prescription, my antidote 
You kill the poison 
Ease the suffering 
Calm the rage when I'm afraid 
To feel again 
How can I tell you just all that you are 
What you do to me 

Feel your every heartbeat 
Feel you on these empty nights 
You're the strength of my life 

Feel your every heartbeat 
Feel you on these empty nights 

Feel your every heartbeat 
Feel you come to get me high

Me and My...um...Lexi's Pink Guitar

Looking Forward to Tomorrow

I'm looking forward to tomorrow...here's why. I am blessed to have a wonderful acoustic guitar, but that incredible instrument has been broken for a while now and I've not been able to play it. Tomorrow I get it back from my Luthier and I'm really looking forward to playing it again this Sunday for worship!

Here's a picture of my beautiful instrument.
