What a day! We had a blast hanging out together and worshipping God through music… more on all of this later… in the meantime, check out photos from the session!
Let the fun begin!
So… we kick off our recording sessions tomorrow at Rosewood Studios in Tyler. Stay tuned for pics and videos from the day. Here we go, folks!

Merry Christmas!
We would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas! We, as a band, are looking forward to 2009 and what God has in store for each of us. We will begin the recording process at Rosewood Studios in Tyler on January 17th and we look forward to bringing you lots of pictures, videos, and music in the future. We ask that you would continue to pray that God would use us in a mighty way for His glory!

The Busy and The Break
Man, Sunday was INCREDIBLE! Three services in one day can really tax one’s vocal cords; of course, I’m probably singing incorrectly and thus have little endurance. Anyhooo… We started the morning at 9am @ Highland Terrace in Greenville. I really miss playing with those guys. We had about six singers up there with three acoustics, an electric, and bass and drums. Sound like too much? Well, IT WASN”T! hehe Everyone did a very good job of blending and not trying to be a star. Well… and I wasn’t plugged in nor did I have a mic. OK, 5 singers, 2 acoustics, an electric, and bass and drums. 
On to Trinity Baptist in Royse City (you know, for the longest time I spelled it “Royce” City – oops). WOW! That little congregation really sang! Even on the songs they had never heard, these wonderful people just sang right along and worshipped to their hearts content. Joel Sprayberry actually played the first song of the morning; he is a rockin’ acoustic player! I’m jealous. Then, we did the worship set. Just imagine – little church, hasn’t seen a drum set in (ever?) a long time, lots of seniors, and they were just singin’ like nobody’s business! I love those people.
That night we played at Trinity Fellowship in Rockwall. What a set-up! We’ve never seen so many monitors! They had a monitor mix for every single person up there!! Poor Jenn was frantically learning the new board and figuring out who’s monitor was who’s. YOU ROCK JENN! Marla nearly lost her earrings on that first sound check. LOL There was actually a little dancing in that service; good times.
Nothing like a little Genghis Grill to finish a long day. Maybe I shouldn’t have used so much DRAGON sauce…

Night @ Revolution
SSL!
Musically, we’re still trying to find our sound. I’ve tried my hand at lead and I’ve not been pleased. I’m not giving up yet, but I’m on a really steep learning curve. However, we may have a very pleasant surprise at our next rehearsal (I think I’ve found a lead player *BIG GRIN*)! Since Jonathan has given me the green light, I’ll have a full wind ensemble before the year is up! (just kidding J).
Spiritually, we have found our niche. We praise the Creator, our Redeemer, for what He does in our lives every day! All of our songs focus on that (not by our design) and it’s just cool to watch Him work.
We did have a wonderful time of worship that night, and I hope the message – His message – got through.
Wherever we play, whoever is listening, we give it all to You, LORD!

Visit With The Studio
Man, it’s beautiful down there in Tyler!
We had too many people to fit in one Honda Odessey, so we caravaned with the maroon whatchamacallit. I felt a little outnumbered, but the three girls in the Odessey proved to make the hour-and-a-half ride more entertaining than a cheerleader blooper video! We discovered new interjections such as “Ole!” and “Great NURSE!” – both of which could be used if being chased by a buffalo. Trust me.
We had a great visit with the studio. Gary was a very nice guy who knows his stuff. After hearing some sweet new tunes and having prayer time, we went to lunch.
Actually, “El Quatro” is not a difficult place to find if you the right direction and you don’t spell it “Le Cuatro” on your iPhone – Jenn! 
They have the BEST hot sauce! Now, I say that about almost EVERY tex-mex restaurant I visit… but they have the BEST hot sauce! It is unique in it’s tomato-lime hotness. The fish tacos were pretty good too (ugh, no supper for me).
Sorry. I slept on the way home. I have no idea what (if any) new interjections they came up with.

Greenville Christian School
We played at the Greenville Christian School chapel this morning and had a good time getting to know the kids and worshiping together. We leave Saturday morning to visit Rosewood Studios in Tyler and determine if it is the right fit for us for recording.
Moving In
Please be patient as we move into our web home!
