One of the weird things about doing what I do, and being in the community that I do it in, is that your friends have fans that see them in a completely different light than you do. Every now and then, though, you catch a glimpse of what they see when they’re sitting there […]

We are having a last-minute “old school” RUF Benefit concert here in Nashville tomorrow night. It’ll be Sandra McCracken, Derek Webb, Matthew Perryman Jones and me. The show will be at Belmont beginning at 7:30pm. We are trying to raise money for the RUF Spring Break Mission/Vision trip to New York CIty […]

It all started very early Friday morning. Todd and Dean came over to my place and we […]

Can I just say how awesome you guys are?

I fly most every weekend and am incredibly frustrated with the incompetence and screwy economics of national security. I […]
