10 “Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.”
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress.

Had a great weekend, On Friday Messes played a benefit show for the organization Acres of Love. It went great, it was a much more comfortable show than i am used to playing. Before the show we decided it would be fun to wrap our amps in christmas lights. The result was perfect.

Show Friday at San Clemente Presbyterian Church! 10 bucks a ticket, all proceeds go to Acres Of Love.

Sleeping Giant at the glasshouse..I can't wait!

Yeah, there is a bunch of horrible metal bands also playing.

Yeah, Winds of Plague is headlining, which means i would ultimately be giving my money to them, which i don't want to do.

But none of this matters, I get to worship with Sleeping Giant once again.

They are such inspirations to be living for Christ, playing metal worship music, having altar calls, offering prayer freely, all while opening for a band that sells pentagram shirts, and have tattoos that say "God Free."

Your bravery is admirable, Truly being disciples in this day and age.

Buckethead in two days

I get to see Buckethead again, in two days. This will be my second time seeing him, last time absolutely blew me away with how he can create such good melody's and emotion, with just his guitar. I hope to get one of the toys he hands out this time, last time i missed out. I am excited!

One missed step can make you stumble,
you set yourself up for a fall,
you punish yourself for each failure,
dogma beat out alcohol
when all of your principles were fashioned.
you thought your new rules made you new
but maybe those X's on your hands are whats killing you.

I feel like crap/ amazing night/amazing night coming up.

Rundown of yesterday/night:
Messes played at my church, people were talking most of the time but i felt we played really well.
Stayed for the overnighter, halfway through my throat went raw, it hurt to talk and i spent the rest of the night trying to find a place where i dont have to talk to people, because it hurt. I never found it.
came home at 6, fell asleep woke up at 10, feeling absolutely horrible.
Called in sick for the first time ever. I feel bad, but i should not be near food at all right now.
Now im here...Tom is coming over soon, we are dropping a bunch of the gear off at joshs'.
Then its Underoath time. I am really excited for that..the more i listen to their new cd, the more it becomes one of my favorite cd's.
