| I like to write and play my music but that really has to come second to creating a good life for my wife and children. I see them every day. (They are my best customers.) Besides, meeting my wife and having children profoundly changed my life for the better. Recording and releasing new music just doesn't get done. There aren't enough hours in the day or energy in my heart to do more than I'm doing right now. |

| Jim was the most influential person in my search for God. He seemed to have a knack for "Telling the truth in love." He took the time to teach me. He guided me so much. He also introduced me to my wife and officiated at our wedding. |



| Wes King "What Matters Most" (2001) This is a must hear for any parent. I can't stress this enough. You gotta listen and let the words and music soak in. It reminds me how special my children are and that I need to cherish every moment with them. |

| Steven Curtis Chapman "This Moment" (2007) This Album challenges me musically. It's wonderful for practicing your drumming skills. |

| Ricky Skaggs "My Father's Son" (1991) Rarely do I find an album on which I like all the songs. This one is especially important to me because of it's strong ties with fathers and sons. The track, "Give Us A Happy Home," describes my life as a child. |

| Steven Curtis Chapman "Heaven In The Real World" (1994) I think it's the beginning of his best work musically, lyrically, messagecally... in it's message. It continues to challenge my faith walk. I really began playing Message Music after hearing this album. |

| The writings and work of John Eldredge have truly helped me understand God in a much different and deeper way than I was initially instructed and in a way I had been longing for. |

| Steven Curtis Chapman "Beauty Will Rise" (2009) This Album also reminds me constantly of what really matters most. |

| Rich Mullins "Let Mercy Lead" (1955-1997) Rich's work reminds me everyday to let Mercy lead when I interact with my children, hoping to leave drops of Grace with every step that I take with them. Thanks Rich! |
