Eric: Hi everyone. Wow! I can't believe it is almost July already. We started pre-production on one of the new songs that is going to be on the CD last night. All in all, we are happy with the way it sounds. Some of the neighbors didn't care for it much (and asked us to turn down) but that's fine. It was basically just us playing the same song over and over again for a couple of hours so I imagine that isn't very fun to listen to. We also started throwing around names for the CD title and it was kind of a struggle. Feel free to send us your suggestions. That's about it for this week. Next week, we will continue to work on other songs as we get ready to record in six weeks. Yeah! Until next time, God Bless. E

Tim: Happy torndown tuesday everyone! So here's a little of what’s been going on with me. Lately and more than ever, it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day. I am willing to call it lack of time management on my part, but I just can't seem to accomplish all I would like to on any given day. Prioritizing has been on my heart and it is helping. Starting the day off submersed in the Word seems to make everything else fall into place...I have been reading the Gospel of Matthew, trying to work my way through all four Gospels without missing a day of reading. Sounds simple perhaps, but when my priorities shift, it's sad to see what sneaks into first place and what gets pushed to the back of the line. I am praying that God would keep me grounded in his Word and focused on this personal goal. On the music side of things, it's ALL good! We had an awesome night of pre-producing last night on the first song for the new album. Very excited to continue through the process...STAY TUNED! Be Blessed ~Tim

Dan: Well let’s see, what’s up in Dan’s world? I have been reading in this chronological Bible every night (mostly every night). I started with the New Testament a few months ago and then took a break. But I just got to the part when Jesus was all like “One of you will betray me” (talking to his disciples) and they were all like “no way, Lord”. Like my paraphrasing? HaHaHa. Anyways, it is really good to stick with it, I have never actually read through the Bible all the way through and I hope to accomplish it this year. I tell you…between this and the sermons on Sunday’s I am loving getting into His word. As far as music goes last night we had a great night of working on one of our brand new songs. This one is BRAND new. No one will hear it until the CD comes out!!! That is, no one other than Tim’s neighbor who came to ask us to tone it down a bit. I cannot wait until all of you can hear it! In Christ, Dan

Jonah: So we had our first pre-production practice in preparation for the new cd, and it was awesome, the first song we worked on last night was dynamite, definitely much more challenging music then we are used too. Things are going well on the music end of things. As for me personally I'm doing okay. Everyday is different. Still adjusting to life in CT; going through the daily battles that we all face with friends, family, and our faith. But everyday God gives me the strength to fight on, which is awesome because with out Him I would be a mess. Well that’s enough of me rambling have a great week td fans! J -Sliver

1 Corinthians 10:13
" No temptation has seized you, except what is common to man. And God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
