So far this tour has been awesome. Today is the first day we have really had any kind of break. We are sitting right outside of Philly waiting to go to the next facility. Me and Greg wondered around the local mall for a while. It was just as lame as any other mall ive been to.

I’m surprised how big an impact we seem to be having on these kids lives. It’s awesome that we get to show them a better way and that God has bigger plans for them. It’s pretty clear, since they are locked up, that their plans aren’t working so well.

More to come later. Were heading to New York tomorrow. I’ll try to upload some pictures soon.

I am ready to leave for tour already!  Sitting at home is lame, especially when a lot of your friends are out playing rock n roll for Jesus without you.  I am glad that I decided to go with Crosswalk this summer though.  Last year, i made one of the worst decisions ever and chose not to go because I thought I had other plans.  Now, i know that might sound ridiculous to say it was one of the “worst decisions ever,” but since I had an opportunity to travel the entire United States, play music every day, and share the Good News with kids all across America, and i declined such an incredible opportunity for what turned out to be nothing at all, it was bad choice. LESSON LEARNED!!!!!!!! Lucky for me, (and i do seem to get screwed over a lot when it comes to this sort of stuff) Crosswalk hasn’t fallen through yet, and i dont think its going to.  Hopefully this is something I can be more involved in.

Anyways, this is just a rant that was on my mind while I was sitting here working on summer school.  Summer school isnt very fun incase you were wondering, but its not like I’m doing much else the next couple of weeks anyways, so I might as well get ahead.

Other than that, i’ve just been watching the Braves (who are having a mediocre season. Hoping they step it up soon!) and listening to the new Emery CD, “In Shallow Seas We Sail.” This is a must have.  Aaron Sprinkle did an INCREDIBLE job producing this record.  I wish bands like this could be more famous, because they certainly deserve it more than most the garbage on the radio these days.  But I wont get started on that….

Are there any other good records that have come out lately?  Leave a comment if theres anything else I should check out!

Back to work now….
