so we got back from "tour" if thats what you want to call it a few days ago. i got the great chance to work 3 days in a row for 9 hours. bummer. so the paycheck will be good but lots of work.

i haven't been spending enough time in the word but i'm getting back into it, which is good. i'm also finishing the irresistable revolution by shane claiborne.

i got to spend a week in a corn field with some of my best friends. i wouldn't have traded the gross conditions for anything. i love the guys in my band. i love the guys from sophia. i love the dudes in plea. same with this love, these hands. we formed a brotherhood and it felt really cool to be accepted even though we are such a different style of music compared to those dudes. i really wouldn't mind watching those bands every day for the rest of my life.

i want to personally thank my mom for being the coolest. i love you.

thanks be to god that there are some christian dudes doing some radical things in a scene where jesus is needed.
