I need to be better about updating this site. Not that you really care, or that you're even there. Hello?...

Things with the band have slowed down quite a bit. Becknology Rock Climbing Guides has slowed too even though are marketing campaign is bangerang this year. I spend a lot of time at my church, working on web sites and marketing stuff for them. Praise God for that job.

But I'm in good spirits. There are some very good things ahead. I can't really share about them now, but I may have some tough choices to make this summer...

I'm still working with Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, managing Becknology Rock Climbing Guides, and maintaining various web sites including my church's.

This summer I'll be working with my life-long friend, Morgan. We'll be shooting our first full-length film entitled My Name is Jerry. I'll be in the sound department.

This fall my calendar is taken up with a lot of Denver stuff. Check out the tour dates and come out and see us.

Last year I started writing my first book. It's about marriage and will probably be called Ain't No Other. The web site and pre orders will be available soon. Subscribe to the blog here to be sure you don't miss the release.

For now, here is an excerpt from the book.

"When you get married you need to understand something. That person you are marrying was never meant to fulfill or complete you. You are marrying an imperfect human that will most certainly disappoint you. A man or woman who gets married will not suddenly have a healthy self-image. If you have trouble loving yourself, you will have infinitely more trouble loving someone else.
Neither will marriage bring contentment. Your flaws and shortcomings as an individual will be more exposed when you are married. People need to enter into marriage with right intentions and expectations. You’ve heard it before; don’t expect a person to change after marriage. People do change, yes, but your spouse is not a child to be raised by you.
Ladies, you can’t mold your husband into what you think you want him to be. Your husband is going to be grubby, rambunctious, and nasty at times. Remember that God made him from the dirt! If you completely emasculate him, you won’t be happy with the gutless wonder you end up with as a result.
Fellas, your wife is who she is. Accept her without passing judgment. Love her the way she is and for who she is. Encourage her in her strengths. Love believes the best about a person. Love means getting rid of wishful thinking, doubt, and fear.
Trust your wife to do a good job in her responsibilities. If, in your mind, she has let you down, trust her still. I can’t tell you how important this is. The Bible says a wife’s desire is for her husband (Genesis 3:16). Every time you are harsh in expressing your disappointment in her performance, you kill a piece of her heart. Your words are either life or death to her. Speak life straight into her precious heart. Be nice to your wife!"
