It's been much too long since I've posted; so much going on. So. . . on January 30th my band, My Personal Dowry, was invited to play at a Valentines Dinner/Fundraiser for a couple of ministries. Couples bought tickets to be fed a dinner, come see the band, and see presentations for the ministries that the night's funds would support: Teen Challenge and Prodigal Sons and Daughters, respectively. This was one of the most emotional and touching nights of my life. There was a middle point of the program, where we got off stage and people who had gone through either program got up and shared their testimony. It was amazing to see what God had done in these people's lives through the work of the two ministries. There are so many broken and weary people in this world, but fortunately there are ministries like these that reach out to such people and offer them hope and new life, as Jesus did when he came to this world. I was humbled at the opportunity to help raise funds for these ministries and hope to get to work with them again in the future. Of course, it was also awesome to, 'blow the roof off the place', as it was explained to me, what we did that night. Always fun to crank up the volume and do work on stage, and I was blessed by those who came up and conversed with me afterwords. Stepping outside of my box of Southern California was a great experience. The Bay Area and it's surroundings were a breath of fresh (cold) air. To sum it up, in the words of the Goo Goo Dolls, 'if only we decided to let love in'.
