I had a friend post something about the George Floyd murder.  He said that we immediately went to protesting and marching but we didn't even take the time to mourn.  I think that's what's happening to us as a nation.  We are suffering attack after attack and not taking the time to heal.  We walk around scarred and bruised and never taking the opportunity to allow God to heal us.  Our prayers should be that God fill every emptiness that we have inside ourselves.  We instead try to fill with every material thing we can get out hands on - relationships, substance abuse, sex, whatever.  None of that can fill what's missing in us.  I keep saying "US" because I got my own attacks to deal with.  I'm no different.  WE cannot do this on our own, and we must be strong enough to admit that.  Strong enough to admit we need a savior. God LOVES us.  And he would LOVE to heal each and every wound each and every hurt.  God can make it like it never happened.  He'll take your test and turn it into a testimony.  He'll allow you to take what you went through and use that to pull others through.  

Yes, what happened to George Floyd was BEYOND appalling and it's the reality of black Americans in this country.  But the blood of Jesus is the answer for that too.  You pray for protection on your children.  And you pray for the police too.  Paul was an enemy of the church, but God changed him too!!!!

 Prayers for Mr. Floyd's family and all the pain they are suffering.  As a nation we are in pain.  And God is the only solution for that.  The blood of Jesus is every answer to every thing. I plead the Blood!

I'm being transparent... probably more than I should be, but I'm doing so.  I've wanted this since I was a child.  I remember a commercial about dancing lemons when I was VERY young.  I had a dream that I was on stage dancing with those lemons.  I remember waking from that dream KNOWING that I would be performing and that would be my life.  I just didn't think I would be ministering God's word in song.  This word is what has saved me.  Without God in my life I would have been dead long ago.  I want to share his Love and his Grace and his Salvation with the world.  I'm not a preacher so my best efforts come from sharing the music that God gives me.   The "fame" aspect of this, I find disconcerting.  Simply uncomfortable.  I don't want my sons having a spotlight on them just because Daddy is doing something, I'd rather they have a normal childhood.  But that isn't going to be the case.  I will do all I can to protect them.  But anyhoo...

I do this because it's what's inside me.  Music plays in my spirit even when I'm not paying attention to it.  It's ALWAYS THERE.  It's like there's a radio in my mind playing songs that nobody has heard yet.  lf I get quiet, I get overwhelmed by the power of it.  I got songs piled up that I haven't finished yet.  The one that comes out in a few weeks is an OLD song.  I honestly believe its the last original song that my Mom ever heard me do.  The Storm that the song is about has nothing to do with Covid 19.  Its about every attack that we experience.  Every heartache, every pain, every disappointed, God will get us through it.  And not just get us through it, we will overcome it.  

You know what I love MOST???  When I'm on and the audience is rollin' with me.  When we shut everything down and they sing the words to the tops of their lungs.  They're not even focussed on us, they are lost in their own experience with God at the moment.  When they let go of everything and just paise and worship.  Its so beautiful!!! Or when they start screaming at the start of a song and start singing without me.  I just play along like I'm the musical director at church.  I feel like I'm interrupting their worship when I start singing my part.  I dunno, I'm gonna shut up now.  God bless all of you.  Stay prayed up!

What's up family!  I'm excited bout the video debuting tonight at midnight!  This Storm (anthem 2020) is my latest release and the video was shot all on mobile phones.  It came out well, I think, but it remains to seen as to what others will think of it.  The song is special to me as it is the last original song of mine that my mother heard me sing.  I played it live at a church and people couldn't hear me singing.  She came up to the front of the church and held the mic closer to my mouth.  She was so proud of me.  I hope she's still proud of me.  Anyhoo...

The video highlights the Covid 19 pandemic.  It even has a quick shot of my Covid 19 - style birthday party where my family came to my house and stood in the front yard wearing masks.  They sang to me, laughed a lot and left without having any contact with me.  I love my peeps.  But do check out the video.  share with as many people as you can if you feelin' it!  https://youtu.be/R61KIYqyRBk

God bless you all!
