Happy New Year!!!! We are back in the saddle after a nice break. Even though it was almost two weeks long, it never seems like it is enough. We spent as much time together as a family as we could. We did bake things and played lots of games. Kaitlin is still trying to recover from me DESTROYING her in Monopoly. Oh Yeah!!!! The worse part of break, besides it being over, is all the extra weight I put on. Kelli can sure cook. Now that things are...

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!! We are officially done with concerts for the year and are looking forward to a little time off as a family. We have some baking to do in the kitchen and I have some winning to do in games over the break ( I can’t beat Brooke in Memory, I really can’t) and lots more fun stuff planned. The ministry has had a good year. We are finishing up with 264 concerts for the year but the best part is seeing close to 1400...

This is my favorite time of year; the temperature is awesome, the trees are beautiful, and everywhere you look you see incredible colors. God is so cool having created so much change in our weather and environment. There is a lot going on right now in the ministry. The schedule is filling up, the concerts are going well, the phones are ringing, and we are booking dates for next year and beyond. We are SUPER excited to see how God has used this...

God has really blessed us with a full schedule of concerts and opportunities to use our gifts for Him. Are all concerts the same? No way. I will say, and I’m not lying, that I really do enjoy every concert I do, but as you may have read in the last update, some go much better than others. I just finished up a mini tour with several great concerts, but one stood out as a really good time. The audience was great and really got into the whole...

I try to keep these “What’s New” updates positive and upbeat. I have a really cool job, but it does have it’s ups and downs. I enjoy telling you all about how God uses this ministry to do AWESOME things and lead people to Christ, but it does take me away from the family a lot, finances seem to be an unending battle, and once in a while we have a bad day on the road. Regardless, it's totally worth it. I will admit that I am a bit of a control...

Wow, has this summer been going sooooooo fast. It seems like the kids just got out of school and now we only have two more weeks of summer. What’s up with that? We have had a good summer. The ministry definitely slows down during the summer months and without us having the longer tours, it allows us to have some really nice family time. We were very blessed to have just spent a few days on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. We didn’t take any calls,...

July 4th came and went. It was a day of lots of food, fireworks and fun. It is a day to celebrate our countries independence. Both of my Grandfathers fought to help us keep that independence and so did a lot of other people. I am a VERY proud American and cannot think of any other country that I would want to live in. I do think that it is sad that a lot of people only think about our independence only once a year. So much sacrifice was made so...

Six and a half more days and the kids are off of school for the summer. I am not sure if they are more excited or if Kelli and I are more excited. We are looking forward to a great summer. The ministry will slow down a bit and not have longer tours until September, but that doesn’t mean we will not be doing concerts. The summer is still full of lots of opportunities to come out and see us. Most of the next three months will be in PA which is...
