Well folks, we are back on the road today in Hoffman Estates, IL and are starting a three day run that will take us to Wisconsin and Iowa. I should be excited about getting back out there serving and helping to make it easy for the guys to lead the Body in worship…..but sometimes its hard. Especially on a weekend when you know your family is off of work and sitting at home wishing you were there to hang with them. You miss home and miss the community of people that are around you. Sometimes you also miss important events at home, like your best friend getting married tomorrow. But, we know why we do this and we know that we have been called to be apart of something bigger than us. Realizing that makes it easier to go back out on the road.

Please pray for us crew and our families at home. Pray that the Lord speaks thru the band and changes lives at these three shows this weekend.

Anybody out here on the road would tell you that the hardest part of this job is leaving your family at home while you travel. I have a wife (Natalie) and a 3 year old daughter (Ella). My wife made a calendar for Ella to look at. It shows the days I will be away and the days I will be home. The days colored green are days that I’m away. The pink days are days when I am home. Ella wakes up in the morning and asks Natalie if today is a “pink day” or a “green day”. They both make their way to the kitchen and check the calendar to see what color day it is.

Hopefully it’s a Pink Day!
