October Update

I’m staring out a window at a yard. Our yard, freshly mowed (by my wife) and littered with Fall leaves. The temperatures dropped into the 30’s last night and it’s only October! Nashville is still foreign to me. After six weeks of cancelled events, it felt wonderful to get back on the road last week. Made some new friends in Petal, MS and saw some old friends in Hattiesburg. A new song showed up in the chapel at FBC Hattiesburg as I waited for a collgiate event to start there last Friday. I’ve posted it at the myspace site and it’s called “Foreign is Familiar.” I’ve re-written the lyric a bit since I recorded the worktape but I love the thoughts. It’s not a song about telling the world about Jesus. It’s a song about WANTING to tell the world. It’s about the place my desire meets the real difficulty of translating this hope I’ve found in Jesus Christ into different cultures and languages and the hurdle of our impurities and imperfections as the Church. Check it Out!

I will be traveling for most of the next six weeks and then have a break over the Christmas holiday. If you’ve stopped in to check out what’s going on in my world, take another second to say “hello” by leaving me a comment here.

Peace,
James
