My wife and I sponsor a very young girl named Wisarde, that lives in Port Au Prince, Haiti. We are still waiting to hear word on her and her family’s well-being. Please join us in continuing to pray for Wisarde and her family.

Had a great time at InsideOut last night leading worship with a bunch of teenagers.
Was very privileged to invite some friends from Valdosta and Jesup to be a part of the band. Thanks to Keith Hand (valdosta-guitar), Hamp Rogers (valdosta-guitar), Jason Crowe (jesup-drums), Cortni Joseph (valdosta-vocals) and Chris Moncus (brunswick-bass) for being a part of this!!
Walk-in:
Shackles (Mary Mary). Key Em. We were able to do this similar to the way that the majority of us knew. Kind of a Maroon 5 (This Love) groove. Pretty fun!
Opening Set:
My Savior Lives (New Life Worship). Key B. Standard arrangement.
One Way (Crazy Train Remix). Key F#m. Love doing this song this way. I think the kids really enjoyed it too. Cortni leads out on the verses and she rocked it!
Blessed Be Your Name (Matt Redman). Key G. Cortni led out on this one as usual and it was awesome!
Closing Set:
In The Secret (Vineyard). Key G. We just repeated the chorus a few times to really bring the big idea of the message home.
Heart of Worship (Matt Redman). Key D. Ended the night with this one. Started small and quiet and built into a big, big chorus towards the end. This one never gets old for me.
Had a great time and appreciate John and Shannon for letting us do this! It was great!
So, my brother and I came up with this idea to totally rock the face off of New Year’s Resolutions.
In fact, we figured out that New Year’s Resolutions is a cruel mistress with only one intent in mind: get you all excited about changing your life and then rip your heart out with mediocrity and failure as the year plods on.
So, instead of making New Year’s Resolutions this year and fizzling out during the year, we decided to make them bow to us and carry out OUR whims!!
Just kidding…kind of.
Enter #One30.
Head over to WorkoutBrothers.com (our site) and check this thing out. We believe it’s a great idea and a better approach to New Year’s Resolutions. (Not selling anything)
Are you tired of getting all pumped about resolutions? And then trying to justify your failure later as you succumb to flesh and lose all motivation? We were too. So we created WorkoutBrothers.com. We wanted to find a fun way to approach and track our own journey.
It is a site dedicated to our journey to health and fitness. We’re not experts or muscleheads or anything like that, we’re just having fun chronicling our steps to a better and healthier lifestyle. Our website is that journal, of sorts. And it’s a place where you can join in the fun and cheer us on (and let us cheer you on too!).
So what is this #One30 that I mentioned earlier? Simple: Making health and fitness goals 30 days at a time.
Pick ONE big goal, get at it for 30 days! Instead of choosing 1 or 2 resolutions that you fail miserably at by the end of the year, you’ve got 12 opportunities to make some great choices and goals. And the 30 day time frame is just short enough to actually accomplish them, while long enough to build momentum and create good patterns!
Personally, I’ve decided to drink ONLY WATER for the month of January. What big thing can you do for 30 days? Walk outside? Cut out processed foods? Eat fruits & veggies? Exercise with friends? Cut out sweets?
If you subscribe here, and would like to follow us in our journey, please do! We’ll be keeping a blog with goals, results, videos, photos; tweeting; building community through our facebook group (where you can share YOUR results too!); and just generally having a great time!

Let’s PWN this new year!!
I know this might be odd to say, and I’m trying to be humble about it: but my favorite worship song of 2009 is actually one that I wrote myself.
Personally, I don’t listen to a lot of music unless someone highly recommends them to me. Oh, I listen to music for reviews and such, but I mean for my own personal preferences.
I wrote this song, Psalm 93 (The Lord Reigns), a while back and something about it just resonates with me. I mean I’ve written a lot of decent songs for worship over the years, but there’s something about this one that makes me want to sing it over and over and over. I don’t know what it is.
What’s your favorite worship song this year?
Join me and others as we share our best and worst of 2009 over at Fred McKinnon’s place.
