So I just got home last night from 10 days spent at CBLI. It was pretty great, as I expected. I got to see many friends, made some new ones, and the John, Jon, Jonathan, and Nate band actually practiced (read as "jammed") once and prayed together a few times. For those of you whom I haven't told yet; myself, Jon and Nate from the Singing Company, and John Aho are starting a band. It's all very exciting. I feel like I haven't been in a band in so long, and now God has just brought this incredible opportunity together for me to be playing with three other Godly, talented, musicians who are just as excited as I am. It promises to be rather great. I'll keep you informed.

I watched this movie about Joseph on some Christian tv channel last night. It was pretty good actually, but my favorite part was whenever anyone in Jacob's family said "the Lord," they always said "blessed be his name" and then everyone else would reply "blessed be his name." As I watched I found myself saying it along with everyone else. It's funny how sometimes you can worship God in really weird ways and in strange settings. Blessed be his name!

Keep me in your prayers, there is still much ahead of me. I haven't even really began yet it seems. I'm so excited to get to Indiana and begin the work that I know God is leading me to. I feel so full of the spirit of God. So intimate with my creator. It's truly a wonderful experience. However, I am a sinful member of a sinful race and I exist only by the grace of God. So I still need your prayers basically. Thanks.

Blessings!
