Elisabet on Mando

Here's my dear sis. :):):) She's the female vocalist in our band. We kinda dared her to, and encouraged her, (and maybe I insisted..lol) and she agreed. On practice sessions and performances she has nothing to do while we go on and on with an intrumental....lol. Shes embarking in a new journey I hope gets far...see, I dream BIG a lotta times. :) So hopefully soon enough she'll get the hang of it!!!!! ---keep it up sis!!!!!!!!

It is HIGH TIME

Now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Rom 13:11-14(NKJV)

I need to ask myself….am I asleep? Maybe I don’t think so…but maybe I am….In a dream…a phantom Christian life I’m living….Paul says to all of us. WAKE UP!!! it is high time to wake out of sleep! The longer we are in Christ the more we need to have grown. Imagine getting up in the morning and you never totally wake up. imagine if you spend the whole day, eyes half closed with a Sunday afternoon drowse. You would miss about half of what people tell you. If you receive a command you’ll only understand half, or maybe get the concept up side down….We can turn into that, deep in our souls. We’re so sleepy, numbed by distractions…we forget about all the fruits of the Spirit because we’ve become so satisfied and almost enchanted with the low expectations of this culture….The end of the passage gives and awesome statement, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ”…Ya’ll ever thought of that?….when “Joe” puts on a clown costume for a show…what happens? Joe stays behind. his likings. his dreams…his motives. his actions….he now talks, acts, moves, LIVES, like a clown…..We have to put on The Lord Jesus Christ, yall. Everyday. People out there say, live, love, laugh….ok…Well, we need to Live like Jesus, LOVE like Jesus, LAUGH like Jesus. It’s a whole new outfit. A transformation by the renewing of the mind….because we are not of this world. The passage gets specific at the end…like a finishing touch.. “-and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts”…..I’ve said sometimes in the past… “if only Jesus were here…” well, He is…He lives in every soul that is humble and broken before God, ready, at Command: wake up! it is high time!!!!!! God bless your day!!!! :)

the old dog of the house still sings ;)

I filmed this today...it's everyday life in my house....since I started playing fiddle like 6 years ago or somethin...LOL...i can be in my room and she's way on the other side but if she catches the sound, shes gonna sing. yup, it gets annoying...!!! but its so legendary, that I don't really mind!!!!

possible future band addition!! LOL

hey Ya'll....our good friend and awsome mando player, Jonathan Kline is coming down from Kentucky for the Jamboree!!! He will be playing with us as guest performer. Since Obi will not be performing, *:'(*....we're gonna try to have Jonathan fill in. we were gonna have him play anyway, since we're in need of a full time mando player..but now that Obi is unable to come we really need Jonathan. He arrives the 5th, so we'll only have LITTLE time to get organized. :o!! but i know God will help us ;) ----Jonathan, so glad ur comin down!!!!!!!!! and Hannah too!!!

talk about being bummed

---honest here...Im Bummed out. Obie looks like he wont be able to perform in the Jamboree this Nov with the Sawgrass Island Loners. He has a 6 hour lab that day for his EMT training. :(:(:(....Yall, please pray somethin happens...He's so my buddy......God knows all things though...doesn't he? :):):) Everything is FINE FINE FINE, thru the sunshine and the rain.

Hey yall!

Today we preformed at a private function in Deland. My day started at 2:00am, out by a camfire, with my bro, singin campfire songs, playin fiddle tunes, and just havin a great full moon friday nite. We eventually got tired and just started talkin. then we got sleepy. there was no place better than the dewy grass. so, we dropped by the fire and I slept till six when my phone alrm went off at six. I went with Mom at seven to take our Noahs ark of animals to the Vet and then soon after the Dale n David came to practice before we headed off. From 9:00am-9:00pm, can be describes as one word...MUSIC. we sang on the way to Deland, sang at the event and sang our way back, then preformed for our uncle from Texas. We came as volunteers to play at the event, but I was pretty surprised when one organiser at the event, handed me a sizable amount of $ for our preformance!!! Man! thats crazy! So, I thank God for the opportunity to play music and express my love of music. It was an awsome day, packed with always something to do. Hangin out with my best buddies. ...Plus it all comes down to God. If it wasnt for Him i wouldn't be able to smile the way I do and have the joy I have. God has blessed me so much even though Iv'e never deserved such grace....So, that was my Saturday...looong and Happy...musical....and I'm ready to go to bed cuz tomorrows another GOOD day:)---how was your Saturday? (or weekend!!!)God bless yall!!!
