Are you like me?  Just like to get away sometimes and think?  This has been a busy day for me tracking the progress of the projects I have going on right now.  Talking with Debbie at CRT about my upcoming DVD that will be going out to TV shows around the country, Jared and I have talked and text all day about the artwork for my new CD.  Not to mention several text to Rodney in Huntington about my lost sample DVD.  Actually though, I really enjoy this stuff.  It’s all a part of being an artist.  Being creative and seeing your work finally come together and you eventually will enjoy putting the first one in some ones hand.  Hopefully, the “first” of many!  

Just as I return from my trip to New Mexico and prepare to start back on the road, my new CD will be ready. I started this album in April and have put a lot of effort in to it.  I am excited about the songs on this CD. Check out my schedule for this fall and come out and hear some of these new songs.  I believe you will be blessed by them.  My new 3 song DVD will also be going out to TV  in late August or September.  It has been a busy summer getting this all done, but I love it.  Delilah has been working hard on getting in touch with all of the TV shows that play Christian music around the country and she is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new DVD to send to them.  Thanks for your hard work Delilah!

Most people sit down and plan their vacation months ahead and go to some place far from home to “Get Away”.  That’s understandable but it isn’t what Theresa and I did this week.  We took a vacation right here at home in northern Ohio.  Pictured here is Theresa riding one of our horses named Tucker.  We have had this horse for four years and it was the first time she road him.  Usually one of my friends like Kevin Washington, Wes Washington, or Larry Liebhart rides Tucker while I ride my black horse Flicka.  We road on this particular day with Theresa’s cousin Nancy.  Had a great ride.  

We also filmed a music video for the song “Long Black Train” while home this weekend.  Would you like to see some video clips from the videos we have done this summer?

Theresa and I stopped by the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio and filmed some footage for my upcoming video.  We were on our way to sing in Cincinnati on Sunday morning.  Pastor Lawrence Bishop was happy to give us permission to tape this awesome statue of Jesus called “THE KING OF KINGS’.  It is right beside I-75 between Dayton and Cincinnati.  Many people refer to this statue as the “Touchdown Jesus”.  They don’t understand what Jesus has done for all of us.  He gives EVERYONE the opportunity for Eternal life through his birth, death, and resurrection from the grave.  I am truly grateful for this.

We shot over 100 minutes of video on the song “I’m Still Standing” while in the Cayman Islands. What a beautiful place to make a music video. Last fall in Colorado while on a self-guided horseback Elk hunting trip, my cell phone rang, (Which was a surprise to me) turned out to be my friend Tim Harris from Kentucky. He said I found a song that has you written all over it that you need to record. Well, I did record it. It will be on my new album this fall.
