Besides Connersvine, what is the greatest band in the history of music? Why do you think so?

We returned home from the third leg of the tour this morning. Our last show was in St. Louis. We start again this Thursday in Evansville, IN. 

Wow, do I have the skinny on Chris from this last weekend. For those of you who are new to our blog my name is Hunter and Chris is the other side of Connersvine.(the one with the raspy voice) So, we’re on the road in the tour bus and there is a movie/documentary on TV about the beef cattle industry. Toward the end it started to show the actual slaughtering process which I must even admit was a little hard to stomach. I mean, I do believe that God placed animals here for us to enjoy by any means possible. As pets, entertainment, sports, breakfast, lunch, and supper. However, the grisly details of this program were getting to me. I can’t go into detail about this horrific and brutal process, but I will say that even after growing up on a beef cattle ranch in Texas I was growing faint from the excessive gore and cruelty.

So after watching this for a few minutes Chris stands up and leaves the bus. I thought for sure he was making an exit to 1.) make a point, and 2.) have a good cry. Imagine my surprise when he returns 25 minutes later with a bag of 2 double quarter pounders!!!! Didn’t even let the body cool. By the way, that dude eats meat like a buzzard. PETA???Whatever.

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!!
