Heart Break

The sad truth is less than 5 % of people in Substance Abuse Treatment programs stay clean and sober without quality aftercare.....This is what breaks my heart and that is why I do what I do..........To see someone get it...to see the "lights come on" and then they relapse is tragic and sad..In my years of sobriety I have seen countless people start a relationship with God, on fire for recovery only to go right back to their misery. It does not have to end that way..JesusCrawl Ministries is dedicated to stopping this cycle in Abilene first and then ....who knows, possibly the world. We need to stop judging and looking down on the disease of addiction and start loving people right where they are at, good bad or indifferent..We need to.help them connect their recovery assets with a quality life of sobriety..

Looking Back

When God was present, but only now I can look back and realize it...hmmm. I think because of all the music ministry lately, what comes to mind is when I started playing guitar. I was doing it for all the wrong reasons...to glorify myself, get girls, show off and party hard. God knew then what I would be doing now and I guarantee you I was not thinking of Him when I started. He has used what I started for selfish reasons for His Glory....and I could tell story after story about how He has rescued me over and over from situations stemming from those days....

Here We Are

O.K. for those of you who really know me...this is probably not your first choice of a song from me, but here's the deal. This song connects me with the Holy Spirit like no other. This was Jack Smith's favorite song that we played together. Sammy and I played it at his celebration service. I'm up early on a Saturday fixing to go to the Emmaus pancake breakfast for Josh Casey....cause I figure his sponsor won't be there......anyway,  after that I am going the studio to record the final tracks for our CD and thinking of Jack. The lyrics to this song are powerful....Here we are in his presence...lifting Holy hands to you...praising Jesus for the things He's brought us through.....Every time we play this song I think of Jack...jammin with Jesus.....and truly in His Presence.....and I can go through ANYTHING.....
Peace and Love
