I'm excited to share these songs with you, and I hope they make you think, challenge your faith, and encourage you in your spiritual search. I wrote these songs as prayer in response to what God has been doing in my life - maybe they will help you pray as well... Some background information (if you're interested - if not, skip this and just listen to the songs...) I didn't plan on recording this CD. I used to travel full time in a band, dreaming of "making it", whatever "it" means. But after 3 years we went our separate ways, and I became a pastor of a church. During the past couple of years I began to write songs again about the struggles of trying to know and serve God everyday. I found a little studio to record in once a week for a couple of hours (I don't golf - a cliche for pastors - so my wife said OK!) I was burning CDs and giving them to friends and family.I remember saying a prayer asking God to use these songs somehow to help some people...
Not long after that prayer, a friend of mine gave a CD to Michael Foster... I spent the last year recording this CD with Michael Foster (producer), David Santos (Billy Joel's bass player), Shawn Fichter (Trisha Yearwood's drummer), and Dennis Burnside (an awesome session keyboard player) in Nashville and Florida. I feel like I'm caught in a Wayne's World dream..."I'm not worthy!" I hope you give this a listen, and I'd be honored if you would consider it worth owning a copy. Til then, Jim
