I reconnected with Mike Mattei yesterday as he performed an acoustic brunch at our local coffee shop in Speedway, Indiana. Mike and I were in Rock Prophets together from 2002 until we broke up in 2011. The music from Wrestling the Stranger was composed during our time together. Some songs like Strip Me, You Gotta Help Me, Lord, and I'm Gonna Rock and Roll For You, Lord were part of your sets for a time. I can remember performing those at the Comfort Zone Coffeehouse in Plainfield in those days.

Anyway here's hoping you have friends to warm your heart! ❤️

Performing at Irvington UMC yesterday. First song was written for my firstborn, Amanda, when she was only 7 months old.

I couldn't capture how it feels to be a new dad, so I wrote a song about being unable to write a song about how I felt. It's called "If I Could Write A Song"

If I could make some sense of all the feelings I have inside me,
I'd wrap them in a melody and sing it tenderly to you.

I had the good fortune to perform for Irvington UMC today. The first set was acoustic. The second was rock tracks from Wrestling The Stranger.

Matthew 5:3

I performed Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" at a funeral yesterday. I'm not a country music fan by any stretch of imagination. The closest I get to country is Neil Young, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and other southern influenced rock artists. Having said that, it was such an honor to play a song the deceased loved, for the lyrics embodied his love for his family. The advice in the song served as his parting words to his loved ones. As I sang the song the tear drenched faces stared up at me. They celebrated his life and continued to grieve him. The music helped to unlock pent up emotions. It was hard not to get choked up too.

Empathy and music are such powerful human qualities. I thank God for we are fearfully and wonderfully made!

There's a song on the air!

Happy Advent from the Circle City.

Leading worship for 50 men at a men's retreat with Zionsville and Barnes United Methodist churches. The theme is The Force Awakens. Guess what force we are talking about!

Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

Psalm 57:8

Sharing Jonny Diaz's "Breathe" in worship at the Garden UMC.

Scott Tyring performing "Breathe".

I sang this song in worship this morning. Good message. Just Breathe!

"Breathe"
As performed by Jonny Diaz

Alarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor
It’s off to the races everybody out the door
I’m feeling like I’m falling behind, it’s a crazy life
Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can
Trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand
So much to do in so little time, it’s a crazy life
It’s ready, set, go it’s another wild day
When the stress is on the rise in my heart I feel you say just

Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at my feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe

Third cup of joe just to get me through the day
Want to make the most of time but I feel it slip away
I wonder if there’s something more to this crazy life
I’m busy, busy, busy, and it’s no surprise to see
That I only have time for me, me, me
There’s gotta be something more to this crazy life
I’m hanging on tight to another wild day
When it starts to fall apart in my heart I hear you say just

Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at my feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need

Is to take it in fill your lungs
The peace of God that overcomes
Just breathe
So let your weary spirit rest
Lay down what’s good and find what’s best
Just breathe

Just breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at my feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe
Just breathe

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there!
