Hi friends, I’m really digging this new worship band called “The Neverclaim.” I’ve never met them, but they’ve got a great song called “Revival” that is just plain inspiring. Thought I’d share it here wit… Continue reading

I’ve been wondering about this for some time. I can’t even remember the last full CD I purchased (actually, I do. It was Jamie Cullum’s “The Pursuit” and much of it was pretty bad). But really, when was the last time YOU bought a full-length CD? Or even a digital album on iTunes? I’m seriously [...]

Every year I forget that it rains pretty much the whole month of April! I get bumbed out and surprised every time I awaken to a cloudy sky. I try to hold on to the age old saying that “April showers bring May flowers,” and that all this rain will bring about awesome beauty. I [...]

Lyrics matter. All of us know that music has the ability to go where a 1,000 speeches (no matter how inspired or heartfelt) could never go. And because this is the true, lyrics matter. I have often heard it said that the worship leaders are the true theologians of the Church. What this means is [...]

Last night I made a run to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple of things. Omigoodness! I swear this place is unlike any other! Let me recap my experience for you… First off, the greeter, that’s right the greeter, you know the one in charge of greeting you, would not look at me! I had [...]

Hey there! This last Sunday I got to do something I rarely ever get to: preach! It felt great speaking, though I definitely don’t want to trade my piano for the pulpit. The message I gave was on worship (titled “The Alabaster Box”)…. Continue reading

What if fear is an indicator that we are “still alive?” Maybe fear means that we haven’t died yet. Because if we were dead, what worldly thing would cause you to be afraid?? Let me explain… ———————————————- Romans 6:1-11 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By [...]

Remember when people used to listen to music in their living rooms? They used to sit down on a comfy chair, plug in the oversized headphones, and EXPERIENCE the music. Sadly, those days are mostly gone and even I rarely just sit and listen. Nope, I find that almost all of my music listening happens [...]

One of my favorite things to do is to play other artists’ music on piano or guitar (I’m a huge sucker for Elton John & Billy Joel). Sometimes it’s really hard to figure out how to play other peoples’ stuff though! I thought about this and didn’t want any 1000 Generations friends to experience this. [...]
