This will be our 2nd season with our little pop up. We are planning two big trips this summer, plus some miscellaneous weekend trips.
Our 1st trip will be Pictured Rocks in the U.P. of Michigan in June and our 2nd will be Yellowstone National Park this August. I’ll try to write about them this summer.

i have taught another FPU (Dave Ramsey) class this last fall (08). We are down to a credit card with about 900.00. from $13,000.00. feels good to own my cars, save money and help others because now i’m in a position where i can.
i still fight the urge to spend.

this has proven to be harder then i thought. i “do” music for a living. i’m a music director for the church i attend, i own my own studio and travel some performing. there are 2 things that slow the song writing down. 1 is time. finding the time and 2 when i do find the time i hit a brick wall and have nothing to say.
i talked with a friend of mine, who is a very successful songwriter and he says the trick is sitting down for 3 or so hours a day and just play/sing and out of that songs start to birth. i’m not able to spend that much time a day but i’m doing that once or twice a week and it’s working. he also told read fiction, listen to others songs, sermons, conversations, radio, and write down everything that has potential in a song. i’m reading more, listening more and they are starting to come.
I have written a handful of songs since i’ve been on 43things. more are coming and i’m feeling very inspired.
