About Me

Well, it all begins in the year 1980. A mother and father got together and had a birthday party. It sure was a swell gathering. The result: a baby boy was born in the little town of Pensacola, FL. The world rejoiced as men and women of all tongues and tribes gathered to see the newborn babe. He would grow up to be big and strong...bigger at certain points of life than others. He would travel the world and study at numerous universities, earning a degree in Christian Studies. His pursuit of vocational ministry and musical success would lead him to Nashville, TN where he would later meet the other half of his equation, Annie Hilbrecht (now Lash). Today he can be found typing away at his computer and tracking district payments in the Billing Department at A to Z In-Home Tutoring in Brentwood,TN as well as hangin' loose with the youth of FBC Lebanon. You think you know, but you have no idea. This is the diary of Jeff Lash, the pastoral rockstar.Visit Annie and I's website at www.jeffannie.com.
