Today… is HUMP DAY!

Hump Day Remix

Why HUMP DAY?

Because, sometimes, you just gotta choose to let go of the negative, daily, “reality” show.. and ask yourelf:

Who Moved my Cheese, on this Hump Day?

Remember,  you get out of the day what you put into the day.

Therefore, take a moment to lay back for a bit of rest, because today can be a GREAT hump day!

Make it a GREAT day… Hump Day!

With CHRISTmas season again upon us all… and with lines waiting for Santa Claus… where is the line to see JESUS?

Thank you, Robert Michael, for sharing this with me.

About the Song

While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, “where’s the line to see Jesus”

My sister mentioned this to my dad, who immediately became inspired and jotted words down to a song in just a few minutes. After putting music to the words, and doing a quick recording at home, he received a great response from friends. He sent the song off to Nashville without much response, except for a Christian song writer who suggested adding a bridge at the end of the first chorus. My dad then asked if I wanted to record the song to see what we could do with it. I listened to the song, made a few changes to the words to make it flow better, and we headed to Shock City Studios.

It was at the studio where Chris, owner and producer, rewrote the 2nd verse and part of the chorus…with goose bumps and emotions high, we were all hopeful and felt like we had something special. The demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and sent off again to Nashville …still no response.
Then 2 weeks before Christmas last year, my cousins Greg and Robbie decided to do a video to see what we could accomplish on YouTube. The first day we had 3000 hits and it soared from there. We received e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages from people all over asking for the music, CD’s, iTunes, anything…we had nothing. After a couple of meetings with Chris following the amazing response, we got serious. We headed back into the studio this past spring…this time with guitars, drums, bass, pianos, choirs… the real deal…. and here we are today.

Getting iTunes set up, a website put together, and loving that thousands upon thousands of Christians have come together… remembering the true meaning of Christmas. Out of the mouths of babes come profound truths that many adults can not understand. Hopefully Spencer’s observation will cause people all over to reflect on the love of Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in line to see Him. We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father to have this chance to share our music with you.

Merry Christmas every listener!

Choose your journey: young at heart, old in wisdom

Old wisdom young heart attitude
Keep your young-heart attitude of hope while growing your old-wisdom of discernment.

What is on my mind?!!

Four days until Christmas… what else would be on one’s mind?  Well, this moment is given to pray God‘s peaceful spirit upon everyone reading this message, a reminder to all that within this crazy world in which we live, we choose not to let the world steal our joy.  Always remember, life’s happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Therefore, we must all choose to work each day like we don’t need the money; we must choose daily to love one another like we’ve never been hurt; and like never before, we must choose to dance for joy with reckless abandonment like no one else is watching.

Peace and Joy be with you!
