Have you ever made or eaten home made vanilla ice cream? It’s so great! And a vivid memory from my childhood. My grandma was famous (amongst her grandkids at least) for her home made ice cream. We would have it everytime we’d visit! She’d get out the ice cream making bucket and the ice and…

An Update From The Studios…
So we brought back a CD of the drums and a rough mix of the other stuff for the bass player and others to hear so they could be ready to come down and mix their parts for God Came (our new Christmas CD)… and we had a copy in hand to give to our…
God Works All Things For Good
We were supposed to record on Thursday night. We had scheduled a session to begin tracking the drum parts. Sometime around 5 or 6pm. I had been calling the studio engineer (a friend of ours) to verify that appointment, but to no avail. Until, about 10am Thursday morning… “We did?! Oh man!” Those were not…
Life is SO Fragile
16 years old, strong, energetic (mostly… he is a teen-ager!) 🙂 Parents who love him, a baby sister who might admit to that, family and friends. Life is full of potential and goodness, despite anything that might try to dampen that… life is good. And then it ends. Some friends of ours just lost their…
Redefining Sin
I was thinking again this morning on a topic that I had previously discussed with a friend of mine. We were debating what exactly “Thou Shalt Not Covet…” means. My friend, you see, has been accused of every thing under the sun in the sin category, because he has involved his heart deeply with a…
What Can Ya Do? (again)
I used that title back on the day when I deleted all my email (years of email) and then totaled our van within about an hours time. You can read all about that day here: http://basicmusic.blogspot.com/2003/10/what-can-ya-do.html Lemme tell ya about today’s What Can Ya Do day… 🙂 It actually started on Monday, when I got…
Whoa
You ever just wake up and think… whoa… how am I going to do this day? I just did. The sheer amount of what I need to do TODAY seems quite insurmountable… but I am about to begin an attempt to do so. Perhaps you are wiser than I and do not schedule several large…
Death of a Coffee House
The Phoenix Cafe has officially breathed it’s last. I can not believe the frequency with which these establishments expire. This one lasted less than a year. And the same happened with the previous owner (in the same location.) I am bummed cause it was a cool place to play here in our town (right around…
Catching Up
Well today we are trying to actually clean our house for the first time I think. 🙂 For some reason, (mostly cause we are always super busy…) we clean enough to get by, but then we end up with a HUGE job like is facing us today! Should be interesting! 🙂 I think I am…
Our Drain
I forgot to mention… last Tuesday morning (our first morning back after a busy summer of traveling…) I was going to take a shower and just noticed how nasty our bathroom was – including the bath tub from our REALLY SLOW DRAIN (that I have mentioned here several times). So, I decided to clean it….
