New songs

We had the songwriting clinic on Saturday. When it was over, I wanted to keep going. I just love hanging out creative people. We went over a few tips for writing songs, how to put all the elements together and lots of great stuff. Harold Forbis and is wife Lori came down and did a great job. We took a few lines of text that Obi had written and turned it into a new worship song. I could do that everyday. I plan to keep writing songs as much as I can. I want to record them and preserve them on some form of media to make sure they are available. I look forward to hanging out with the Forbis' again. I plan to travel to Kirksville as soon as is possible to do so.

I am back at work today and have been a bit busy. That means we have had 1 call so far. That is busy for this station. Been reading in Daniel today. I have been meditating a bit on the dream of Nebachanezer. He had a dream that Daniel gave an explanation for. He wound up loosing his kingdom until he could give glory to God. After he was able to do this, he was restored to power and his kingdom was successful. I have been thinking about what it will take for some of us to give God what is due... I am guilty of this as much as the next guy. I try so hard to make things happen for my family and people who are in need. I often don't trust God for things, I simply try to do it myself. It is like I think that God does not want to be troubled with the little things that we have. The deal is, He does want us to ask Him for even the small things, He wants us to ask him and have faith to believe that he will deliver. So with that, I have decided to do just that. Today I am praying for my wife to be healed from her persistent headaches. it is not a little thing to her or myself, but some may see it as such. God does not. He WILL heal her. I believe He can and He will. - DJ
