the pressure

I have been literally inundated (!?) by requests to change the blog back to the old brown. so here goes. damn im a sucker for peer pressure

JP and the music

I've recently started playing bass for Johnny Parks who is a singer/songwriter/worship leader. (Check him out at www.johnnyparks.com). The music being crafted is exciting and walks a wonderful line between accessibility and creativity (a great debate in itself for a different post over which there has been a lot written by more experienced than myself). I'm enjoying hugely playing and its stretching me both as a worshipper and a musician (they are interconnected all the same so it stands to reason).

Check out the dates and see if the JP band are playing in a space near you. Watch out for a new album sometime soon too.

Peace

Love and marriage, love and marriage...

I got married there on the 27th October 2006. Three months have now past since our vows were exchanged and life is great. You soon realise that if you weren't meant to be married, it would be the worst possible thing. No one can really prepare you for it as much as you try. You cant legislate fo the fact there is a new person in your life 24/7 - that takes a bit of getting used to. Learning to give of yourself constantly to another, to love before being loved, to consider the other before anything (apart from the almighty of course)
But something I realised rather quickly - I wouldn't have it any other way. Its not all plain sailing like you think it will be. You have arguments and insecurities that you need to deal with. But there is nowhere else on earth id rather be than my own home with my wife, no-one else id rather be with. She is amazing, gentle, kind, funny, huggable (and an amazing cook!)


I love her - sure love needs worked on, but its the best thing ever when you do!
