sweet Jesus i swear that i love you

i'm exhausted.
ojk played a show last night and it was a great success. we played in hull iowa with some new bands and i think we made some new fans. the only down fall was walhof approaching the mic and dropping an f bomb in front of people who have never heard us before. we had a good talk as a band about it and hopefully it won't happen again. i got a good chance to mingle with our new crowd trying to get our cd sold without being a jerkhole. i sold a cd for an empty bottle of pop. great success.

on tuesday i went with kenny and walhof and saw maylene and the sons of disaster in omaha. aslkdjav;bnajeoiva. that is the only way i could think to express how i felt. it was so so good. while he is legend was playing me and kenny noticed that walhof had not come in from his smoke break and we decided to pursue him because more than likely he was doing something awesome. sure enough there stands walhof standing next to dallas taylor the lead singer of maylene. apparently walhof walked right up to him and asked him why he was a Christian. he told us everything. it was incredible. his perspective on being in a band really made me want to change my attitude towards being in a band myself, and i have. he talked to us about how he could be at home with his wife and his kid but he is so convinced that God will work through their music eventhough the lyrics aren't explicitly Christian. i want to feel that convicted.

ojk is playing a show in aplington next week saturday. i have been contacting tj out the waz to try to get the stuco center booked but he has not returned phone calls. basically i don't know where we will be playing but it wil happen.

i recently made the purchase of a cd by a band called manchester orchestra. they were not billed to me as a Christian band but some of their lyrics are so spiritually challenging that it is eery.

i just finished reading the book simply Christian by nt wright. i borrowed if from roomate kris walhof and i would recomend it to anyone who has a soul.

i have had heartburn a lot lately. i don't know why but i am guessing work related stres may be the culprit.

that is pretty much all i can think of at the moment.
