February 19, 2010

To borrow a quote from Tim Hawkins, “We ain’t no rock stars”.

trajectory

January 30, 2010

Recently, while discussing our work and music and travel and everything, an old friend made the comment that in a lot of ways, my life had been leading up to this for a long time.
Hmmm. Was it that obvious? Because for most of that time, it really wasn’t to me.

I can look [...]

I work for an organization called Keynote. We do a lot of stuff involving graphics and art and music and technology and we use it to help people understand that God loves them.

October 28, 2009

In my more honest moments, I realize that I have a great job and an awesome wife and family, and I really have no idea how I ever hooked that up.

Asian mid-tour update

October 9, 2009

We’ve been in Mongolia for over a week now. We’ve been to a remote prison. We’ve played 6 concerts. We’ve done training classes on how we do our outreaches.

blue sky nine goes to prison in Mongolia…

October 8, 2009

So we leave UlaanBaatar (the accents are on the ‘aa’ syllables) and head out on a 3.5 hour drive to the village of Dzuunharaa, where there is a prison where we’re playing. 45 minutes of the drive was on a dirt road through the steppe that I can only compare to the Santa Fe Trail. [...]
