A case of the Monday's…

Usually I am well rested but Due to the bears game, they’re victory and simply staying up late I am a bit tired today. Not to mention my throat is still burning and my head is hurting a bit…It’s a minor case of the Monday’s. Nevertheless, today is another day. Another chance to make it right, another opportunity to reach out and connect. Another day to dream, create and write what could be the next Song, story, film, poem, revolution. Today we head out to the keys and scope out our second site. Time to go back to the drawing baord. I’ll give you the 4 1 1 later. For now, focus on today and make it count.  You will never know until you give today a chance…I dare you to move…reach out…connect…and dream…anybody out there?

Here’s a Monday Farside for you…

My weekend, from the stage,let the cat out the hat…

So Reina and I went out to Atlanta this weekend. My buddy Brent got married yesterday to Lyndsey. They’re the coolest couple ever. It was a very nice wedding. The families were awesome and we ate tons of food. I was one of the groomsmen and I also had to sing during the unity candle section of the wedding. I was so nervous, I didn’t wanna be the guy that screwed up the song at the wedding. To be remembered by everyone for the rest of my life would really suck. The great thing is, it was a great performance. Me and this guy rocked that stage, and in tuxedos. Stephen was an awesome musician, and we are in negotiations on having him Join the Saturn project. The guys is an amazing musician and one of the coolest dudes I have ever met…seriously good times.

Believe it or not, Reina, myself and Alex were the only LATINOS at the wedding. It wasn’t odd or awkard, more funny than anything. Not that this point matters, it was just hilarious to me… I got to meet some very cool people out in Atlanta while we were there…The houses are amazing in Atlanta, and mountains were beautiful…Only one problem…there was no gas…Seriously…every gas station was out of gas. Never seen anything like it.

Well, we flew back into town on our $9.00 dollar flights from Spirit Airlines, gotta admit it felt like a $9.00 flight. This morning was rock’n!!! The first service was just booming!!! You guys are hardcore!! Lets do it again next week and invite your friends. All 3 services were awesome, The production crew threw down, and the worship band sounded great. We had a Little technical scare minutes before we started the first service. The laptop would not start. Zech, the big brain scientist came in and did what we had been doing all morning…”The Start button”, but somehow it worked for him. The cat was let out the hat this morning. The big news is finally out.

Travis let everyone know what’s up, he also rocked his new bottle caps. They’re cool bro. Well the news is, We were given a church property out in the keys!! Yep. A FREE property!!! So now its time to spread the word out there as well. And that’s just the beginning…more news to come…just not yet. We’re gonna head up there tomorrow and scope the joint out. Exciting stuff in the making…We need you guys to step up with us, trust God and join in the movement we got going on For Jesus in South Florida. So I believe this place is in Isla Morada. I notice Trav pronounces it ( EYE-LA MORE -ADA.  Is it not (EEZLA-MORADA?). Just curious. Anyhow, we closed the Habakkuk series today. Powerful stuff, ” we need to REMEMBER” what God has done. That in itself is enough to move forward in this crazy life, just totally believing God will come through…That’s that. We launch off the new series “Art of War, this coming Sunday, come by ready to ROCK!!!! Any music requests? Hit me up!!!!
