I have been helping a church here in Carrollton with their music the last 3 weeks.  Let me tell you, it has been rough.  It is just me on the keyboard and Jesse on the drums.  It's just like being in home missions again.  However, the difference is that I haven't played a full service since I left Florida.  I can tell a huge difference in my playing.  That is why practice is important.  If you don't use it, you lose it.  What I am trying to say is that the home missions services were actually better...lol  Just sayin.... lol

Through all of this helping I feel blessed.  I feel surprisingly closer to God.  It has been rewarding for me.  The other side is that it is also a huge sacrifice.  Usually Saturday is my day off from work and church.  So I typically take my baby girl out and go do something to spend time with her.  Now, I am back to using Saturday as a practice day.  I know as I start playing more regularly again, I will get back into the swing of things.

God has been good to me!
