It has been a really good week. It started well and is finishing up strong. Evette and I will be all alone tonight. All the younguns' will be gone. We may make it to the G n R thing tonight possibly. That's all on Evette. Tonight we do whatever the heck she wants. She deserves to have the decision in her hands.

Tomorrow will be our first practice with a live drummer. It is going to add so much to what we are trying to do. We've been praying for 2 years that we'd find someone to fill this role, and faithfully, God has answered. We are still praying for a bass player so Dad can move over to the guitar. Although, he seems pretty content with the bass right now. With Rebecca back on keyboards we are four piece right now. Not bad for a church our size.

If you are ever having any problems with doubts, seeing God's glory, or just don't feel the closeness of God that you have before, read this....

Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

When you look around at the world we live in and see the beauty of what God created, it all just screams "God is great! He's awesome! Check out his beauty!" It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, looking at a beautiful sun set or a mountain covered in fog, you can understand just how great the creator of all things is. When I drive home each day and see Bays Mountain climbing up out Kingsport, I can't help but say thanks to God for being who he is. It makes you feel small, and it should! God and all that he created is unimaginably bigger than us. Yet, he still reaches down and loves us more than anything else he made. Wow.
