Hello, we are getting ready for our next run on the Winter Jam tour. We will be in Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri over the next four days. Being off the last couple days has been nice. The MercyMe crew guys and I spent the day Tuesday going fishing in Florida. Even though the guys caught nothing we had a great time on the boat all day and it was much warmer than Indy. We spent Wednesday in Nashville hanging out and catching up with friends and on sleep.

I am looking forward to this weekend as my wife and family will be coming out to Cincinnati and Columbus to check out the tour. Our blog family has been quickly growing and we greatly appreciate your support and commitment to check up on what’s going on with us. If you get to come check out a show please stop by our table and let us know you have been reading our blog. Also, pass the link along to your friends! Look forward to hearing and seeing you all soon.

So good to spend a few days back in Indy with the family. My son turns 3 about the same time our second son will be born so we are in the nesting stage once again. Our 2 year old still hasn’t figured out that everyone isn’t pregnant all of the time. He thinks that because mom has a baby inside he must also. Sometimes he tells me what his baby is like. Sometimes he tells me what the baby inside of me is like also. This is troubling and funny at the same time. Even funnier are my attempts to correct him and explain it all to him. I typically fumble around and throw my hands up in the air about the time he asks if we can go play with cars. Precious times.

Chris is still in Florida after that leg of our tour. He is on a fishing trip and today he sent me a text saying that he’d caught an 11 pound Florida hybrid striped bass!! Said he hooked it in the eye unfortunately so mounting it would take some real work by a taxidermist. At any rate, he reports that with a little batter and some crisco it’ll “fry up nice”. Hope he and the boys enjoy!

Looking forward to the weekend with Winter Jam. Praying that God moves powerfully!

Well, football season ends and touring season begins!! People are always asking me how I’m doing after a season ending loss. They typically ask as though I’ve been holed up in a corner somewhere sucking my thumb, rocking back and forth, and repeating the score to the game we just lost over and over. Well, I suppose if everything rises and falls in your life with career success that might be the case. (ok, maybe alittle extreme) However, this world and it’s institutions cannot offeranything besides finances in themselves.

Sometimes I believe Godprevents people’s success so that they don’t ultimately fail. I don’t know why we lost to the Chargers a couple of weeks ago, but I assure you that God does and His reasons have very little to do with who He wants to win the Super Bowl and everything to do with bringing Glory to Himself and advancing His kingdom on the earth.

After a week on the Winter Jam tour I am having a blast! God is blessing His ministry through Chris and myself and it is a privilege to be His voice. We are wanting not to concentrate on the work so much and just focus on Jesus. Focusing on your ministry is vanity and ultimately leads to severe spiritual pride. So, starting this coming Thursday in Illinois we’ll hit the road again with His best interests in mind.

Sorry if I preach. Hope you all continue to visit!!

Its Thursday already so that means I head out EARLY tomorrow morning to head to Tampa Florida. It has been a great few days home with my wife and my dog Mordecai

(don’t ask about the name). It is freezing and snowing up here in Indy and as much as I love my hometown I am excited to venture south where it is warm.

I am eager to get back on the tour and get some pictures up so you all can see what we are up to. So, since I do not have any tour pics yet, I will include one of my ferocious six pound dog (do not get intimidated he mostly just sleeps).

Hey Everyone! Well this is our first blog and we hope you keep coming back to check out what’s going on with Connersvine.

We just completed our first leg of the tour and it has been going well. We visited Johnson City, Chattanooga, Roanoke, and Charlotte. I have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people on the road. Hunter had his last game of the season on Sunday against San Diego so its been just me out on tour. However, Sundays loss was kind of bittersweet. As much as I wanted to the Colts to go all the way again this year it has been strange being out on the road without him. So, starting Friday night in Tampa, FL Hunter will be joining me as we travel through, Tampa, Orlando, and Coral Gables Florida. We would love to see you guys come out and hear your support as we are a pretty new band and no one really knows who we are!

Sorry if this blog is a little boring, I will try and spice it us as we continue with clever antidotes and witty remarks. Also, maybe I will throw in a few incriminating photos of Hunter.
