The other side of the creating process.

First off, God is amazing. It's all because of Jesus I'm alive.

So I played the first acoustic set last night. It went awesome, there's just something so raw about the acoustic set. Very griddy, no flashes or lights or fog to hide behind, just me and my guitar. No bang to distract the audience from how you just couldn't reach far enough to hit that last note. And as scary as that sounds, there's just something so much more liberating when it goes well. Like i said, that was the first set. I have two more to go. This Wednesday, which is going to be a real raw worship set, and then of course Remastered Weekend this Saturday Night. I can't wait. Hopefully they all go as well as last night went. As always, Thanks for checking in and thanks for listening and not ever giving up on me. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Remember, all this is your fault for believing in me and i am YOUR biggest fan. I love you all.

I'm pretty excited, it's been a while since the last post. I'm getting ready to do a couple acoustic sets. I'm pretty excited about it. Won't have the band behind me to make me look good. I love you all.

The Law of Understanding

The Concept of Understanding.

As soon as you think you understand something, anything. Something else changes and you’re right back to square one. Music, people, God, Life, Love.

I work so hard to try to get to a point where I have a handle on something.

I mean it’s as if climbing a flight of stairs and once you get to the top you see yet another flight of stairs two feet after the first. And you have to wonder, is there a top, is there an understanding coming? Or am I doomed to wander up stairs for the rest of my life and die somewhere in the middle. (Again saying there is a middle is assuming there is an end)

Ok so there is the problem.

And here is the solution.

Let it go. Come to terms with the fact that you will never understand some things. For me, it’s most things. And be ok with it, just sit back and relax, and bask in the wonder of being able to say, “I have no idea how or why this works the way it does, but it works”. There’s a certain freedom in hiding behind the great mystery of everyday life.

This all comes from writing a song about understanding.

“Dying in the staircase waiting for forever”

I’ll show it to you one day.

As always, I love you all.

On an unrelated note, i just thought this was awesome/funny/random/true/maybe not true.
