Love to Pray!
Aug 20th

I was recently tagged by Clayton Imoo in a Prayer Meme. This evidently has been going around for a little bit and has involved people like Bob Rice, Popple, the Catholic Youth Ministry Blog, Gene from Apex and it has finally made it to me. If you are tagged you are to blog about your three favorite prayers. Here are my three in no particular order:
Guardian Angel (I say this with my son every night)
Angel of God, My Guardian Dear To whom God’s Love commits me here. Ever this night be at my side to light and guard and rule and guide.
Hail Holy Queen (This prayer has so much power)
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Paul Davis and I traveled to Steubenville, Ohio on August 4th. We started recording our first album. We are working on three original tunes; Fight Song, Forgiven and Praise to the King. We have been having a great time so far. We have been able to work with some great musicians. We had Peter Wilson come and play drums for us and between Mike Ofca, Dan Bozbek and myself we were able to track the bass. Tomorrow we start tracking guitar and vocals. We are really excited about the music we are making here and can’t wait to share it with you. Keep posted here and on our website http://www.thejacobswellexperience.com for further updates and videos.

As you know Paul Davis and I played some music to compete for an opening spot for Matt Maher. We made it. Here is a video of Fight Song and a video of Forgiven. Both of these songs are written by me. Forgiven happens to be my favorite song I’ve written so far. I put a recording of Fight Song up a while ago. I hope you enjoy them.

Opening Slot for Matt Maher
Jun 8th

On June 7th I competed along side of Paul Davis as Jacob’s Well in a “battle of the bands” for an opening spot for Matt Maher in August. There were two opening slots available and we got one of them. We competed against eight groups and got the runner up position only second to “The Universal Worship Experience,” a seven piece, powerful band. They were amazing and we are excited to listen to them again in August. Paul and I are super excited for this opportunity.

I will be playing with Paul Davis as Jacob’s Well. We are competing for a chance to open up for Matt Maher at eXclaim Toledo on August 15th. There are two thirty minute opening slots for local musicians. To decide who will be the openers there is a local talent competition.
The Local Talent Competition will be held: at 6:00 p.m., Monday, June 7, 2010 at Notre Dame Academy. The first and second place winners will have the opportunity to give a 30 minute show at 2:00 p.m. or 2:45 p.m. on the main stage.
We need you out there to give us your support! One of the things that we will be judged on is crowd support/interaction. Come cheer us on!
