.5ive and Brother

Played .5ive with the Todd and Some of His Buddies band this evening....went fantastically well. Simpler is so much better for drummers. I tried with no splashes, and 2 toms and it sounded great! Enough about the drums....Todd has a new song. It is freakin' awesome! I wish he'd get a CD out so you all could hear how great this guy is. He's truly been blessed with an amazing ability to lead others and to write songs that glorify the Father. Maybe he'll post some...

Got an interesting opportunity this evening. I left Larry's food in Nac, and won't be going back until Friday. Poor guy! Nick ended up taking me back to Nac and grabbing his food. Let me share some background; Nick and I don't talk much anymore. There's been family issues....I can't say what, but they exist. Our relationship took a hit because of that, sadly. Well, on the way back from Nac....I felt something tugging on my heart, something saying, "go and share". Well, I started talking about the issues, and relating them to Christ, and how no matter how bad things are, they are in His control and not our own. I was nervous, but I started to introduce him to the Gospel and started to share what His Word has instore for our lives. Ya know, I didn't talk much....I felt like right now the worst thing I can do is bombard him. However, I did tell him I wanted to get him a Bible....so I need to start looking. Part of his graduation present I suppose.

Plain and simple....my family is so lost. I can say that....I know for a certain. I think they believe in something, but they don't know what. I want them to see what I see, so badly....I would do anything to share it with them. They just don't make it easy to share that. Tonight my mother started talking about somebody that we both know that she thinks is a bit odd. I think this person is a strange person, true, but....they do amazing work for the Kingdom. They'll find Him, I just know it...please be praying. I need strength to be courageous and share the Word with them.

Heading to Dallas tomorrow for an eye appointment. No big deal, hopefully. Later...
