well the pool went up this weekend, and shortly will be on its way back down. seems my yard is not as level as i thought it was.

do you ever get into one of those stages when the only thing that can reach your soul is music? well in my spiritual life that is the way it is so i have turned back to the music of the person that has spoken to me more than any other - nathan. you see, being a sound tech allows me opportunities that not everyone has. i've got a small collection of bootleg recordings, my best being the last service that nathan played at the soul cafe. that service remains at the top of my list of all time favorites and listening to it brings me back to a safe place. sometimes being safe is all i need. oh, how i desire to be safe in the Father's arms once and for all.

mas surgery?

we had our annual visit yesterday to the texas children's hospital in houston and the surgeon said to come back in 8 months for another evaluation. if at that time his arm is not better than he will undergo surgery #5.

please pray specifically for his arm to be able to supinate another 10-15 degrees - essentially to be able to turn his hand palm up. the doc said that aqua therapy is probably the best thing to do, so you guessed it...my new weekend project is to put in a pool. nothing fancy, just something deep enough to do some exercises.

just fyi - we're going for a healing on this one. even though the doc said the surgery is an easy one, i don't want to do it. i need some new personal God stories, and this one looks like a good one.

i almost forgot...pray for nick. he is diligently looking for work and a new start. he has done all the right things so it is now up to the Father and his new employer to get on the same page and make this happen. i expect exciting things for nick, but i'd like to see them soon, for nick's sake.

sorry i'm not really into the blogger thing at the moment, but i am feeling much better. when i know that i won't get fired for blogging at work, i might start up again.

blessings to you all - i dream of the time of when we can all be together endlessly in the presence of the Father. PAX!

nick and i went to the church on clay street tonight to help with the lights and sound for chris' last evening service - his set originally had 32 (really thirty two) songs in it which he cut down to about 28 or so, just fyi...it was a great set. nathan you would have been so proud of those guys.

anyway it seemed that my season of bitterness and pain had passed. i had a wonderful time, really. not sure what all this means, but it felt good.

thank you for all the phone calls, emails, and IMs. i needed those more than you can imagine. thank you for loving on me the way you did. also thank you to my wonderful wife who supported me in ways i know i have never supported her. i can see clearly now, the rain is gone...isn't that a song?

drink deeply of the Spirit this week, i'm gonna try to.
