Wow.

Hilarious.

Father’s Day weekend is always a lot of work around here.

We try and do a lot of fun, cool stuff and communicate truths about God at the same time.  We don’t always get it right.

Until this year, that is.

I think this year’s Man Day as we call it is going to be awesome!

You’re not going to want to miss it.

Don’t believe?

Check this out!

As we continue this process of recording and what not, I have often felt a little insecure about some, if not all of our songs, being so simple.

To let you in on a little secret, generally speaking, we’re using only 4 chords in a song.

I was feeling like I should embrace musicality and dive deeper into augmented 5th’s and diminished 7th’s until I saw this video and realized that I am not alone.

So I’m a few days late with this, I know.  In fact, I found this video a couple of years ago keep forgetting to post it on Mother’s Day.

This year, I missed again, but I can’t wait another year.

Happy Mother’s Day from Mr. T!

Here’s what happens when you combine Micah Foster’s new camera, my willingness to make an idiot of myself and a lengthy layover in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport.

Enjoy.

I saw this interview of Mark Driscoll on D.L. Hughley’s show on CNN.

Did anyone know D.L. Hughely had a show on CNN?

It was from Valentine’s and they started by talking about sex, but what I really appreciated in the interview was Driscoll’s attitude.

There are those who say he’s a jerk and I’ll be the first to admit I think he’s said some dumb things to believers, but watch how he speaks to a non-christian host and a predominately non-christian audience.  He deals with tough questions and answers them truthfully and straightforwardly (is that a word?) and does it without being a punk.

Our recording process has been slowed a bit by our producer’s touring schedule.  Don’t worry though, we should be back in the studio on June 1st and ripping through the remainder of the recording.

Here is a little snippet of what we’ve been up to so far.

Dana, Tim, Chris and I went into the studio to lay down drums and after one very long day, Dana had powered through 11 tracks.  What a machine!

Here’s how it went down.
