So I wasn’t really happy with my last version of Building on a Pile of Sand and Gold. Therefore I did it again with some different arrangement. While I’m still not happy with the recording quality and I’d like to tighten it up, I’m much happier with this version. If it’s not asking to much, give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Hey everyone, just finished a new song and thought I’d share it with you all. Forgive the voice I’m still getting over the flu and I have quite a cough. Also this is kind of just a rough draft who knows what it will become.

Dealing with Procrastination Among Other Things
By Jason Rodgers
Canvas, my paint is dry
Unorthodox
Is my privilege taken for granted?
I have run into a wall of sorts,
repeating myself and making some mistakes
If I see it but I don’t move,
I’m certain it’s going to hit me.
Let me ponder awhile.
Times up!!!

Peace in Troubled Night
By Jason Rodgers
The presence of peace in the storm
A whisper in the wind
the grace to forgive
Plans in motion grind to a halt
motion sickness
engine sputter
cleave to your ring,
the marriage between the bride and her king
My will shutters
The lights go out
I’m in the dark
But one light still shines
It guides me
To providence we ride
We journey together
In life we sing
In death we live forever

I was studying the bible at 6:00 a.m. this morning and I wasn’t sure where I should read, so I asked the Lord where to begin and I felt that He said “start in Mathew at the beginning of my ministry”. I flipped to the beginning of Mathew, scanning for where Christ ministry started and it occurred to me that Christs’ ministry didn’t start when he was 30. It started when he was born (you could even say before he was born).
Just as this applies to Christ it also applies to us.
God has always had more of a purpose for you then simply getting you saved in order that overt hell. He wants your life, He wants to be with you, to speak to you and through you. He wants his kingdom to flow out of you. Today pick up the call and stand on his purpose!

Well, I’ve run into a roadblock on my song posting blog. I was using a certain web app to post my songs but unfortunately it was a trial app that allowed me some free songs and that trial is now up. Don’t worry though I will be seeking alternative methods to upload and I already have a couple of leads. So stay tuned, I promise there will be more songs as long as there are ears to hear.

Hello again, it’s time to share another song. I’m having some issues with normalizing the sound so if it’s to low feel free to turn it up. This one is called Love Thy Neighbor, It came from struggling through some strained friendships. I hope it speaks to you. Have a great week.

Okay so I revisited a song I was working a while back. It’s more of a worship song than I usually write. I’m still not happy with it but I spent the better part of today working on it, so I thought I would let you all see what I’ve been working on. I will eventually have to rework the whole thing and re-record all the vocals as well as rework some of the instruments,most of the levels and possibly some of the lyrics. LOL pretty much everything but here is what I have so far.

Well today, Day 3 in Chicago was filled with lots of fun adventures but until the master road trip video is edited I’m only gonna share a couple. We awoke early (like 9:30 so not really early) and went to grab breakfast at a coffee shop called The Grind. We had double espresso and egg and spinach pastries. Then we headed to The Old Town School of Folk Music which I ridiculously forgot to bring my camera for, however I do have a brochure that just might make an appearance somewhere in the blog in the near future. After touring this really great music hall and studio we caught lunch at one of Chicago’s finest hot dog joints. Hot Doug’s as it is named sells exotic, gourmet hot dogs. Now you may be thinking “You went to a hot dog place for lunch right after having breakfast”. Well yes however Hot Doug’s is in such popular demand by the people of Chicago that the line to get in literally takes an hour and a half to get in. Not to mention transit time. When we did finally have our dogs the taste was out of this world, things I would never put on a hot dog but somehow it worked. We then took the subway to See The Illinois Institute of Technology. That was more John’s thing as they had a pretty darn good architecture program. After that we took the subway to John’s cousin Henry’s Baseball game. That was great fun and Henry struck out three kids in a row, One of which was one of their best hitters. Next we were off to see an amazing concert at a Pub called Abbey’s Pub. The concert was Sarah Watkins of the band Nickel Creek. What a phenomenal show, Her voice, fiddle and Ukulele was piercing and uplifting. Her brother Sean was there also ( he makes another third of Nickel Creek.) I guess two thirds of Nickel Creek aint bad. Anyway The videos I took of the show don’t do them justice but I felt I owed you guys a little taste. So I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more to come from Road trip 09.
