Three Days Pay
Typically, I love the old hymns. But there's one I just flat out don't agree with. It goes "Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before..." I find that to be a bunch of bull. You see, I think a lot of people get turned off to Christianity because that's the bill of goods we sell them. We paint this picture of Christianity as this "escalator to God." We just keep moving up, in our spirituality, in our happiness, and each step is higher than the one before. I don't know about you, but that hasn't been my experience with God. My spiritual journey is more like a roller coaster than an escalator. That's why I'm recording this new album, called So Human. It's a look at the REAL human journey. There are songs for those peak moments, when you feel like you could reach out and touch God...and there are songs for those valleys where you feel like He couldn't hear you if you shouted at the top of your lungs (and I often do at those times.)
I want my music to be a real reflection of who I am, who God is and what it's like to take this journey. If someone tells you that their religion promises nothing but happiness and a fulfilling life with no sorrow, run away. Because that's not what God planned for us in this life. It IS what He has planned for us AFTER this life. But only if we commit to Him. Only if we say "I know there will be peaks and valleys" but I will worship you anyway, because you are my Creator. You hold the master plan. You are my savior and it's only through you, Jesus, that I can taste eternity.
When we get there, we should be worn out from this journey. It's a walk of participation, not standing idly as God moves us up the escalator. We must run, walk, climb, fall, scratch and claw to the end. That's the So Human journey. That's what my music is about.
I hope you enjoy my songs. I'd love to hear some feedback...and yes, I would appreciate your honesty as well!Keep in mind, these are rough recordings. I'm still working in the studio on the album. It will be a few more months before I have finished products to share here.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
