so last night i went to dallas to see derek webb. it was amazing. his wife, sandra mccracken, was unexpectedly (to me) there, too. and she played along with him and also played two of her own songs. he also had with him kenny meeks, who helped produce his record and played on it. he played a few songs before derek, and the guy had a really cool sound. nice voice. great guitar player. but yeah, derek’s set was incredible. and even better was him talking. i mean, i definitely enjoyed the songs…but i absolutely love hearing an artist’s point of view, especially from someone like derek, who i am close to 100% sure holds nothing back. he preaches what he believes…it isn’t an act. andi just really really respect him. as he says, the truth is never sexy. but he refuses to back down from preaching the true Gospel. some of his words last night were really things that i needed to hear…i wish i had had a tape recorder, even if just for his little talks. i’m at a tough spot right now. there aren’t any churches here in arkadelphia that satisfy my needs. at least, i haven’t found it yet. because of this, and my weak flesh, i have fallen away from church to the point that it almost seems strange to go to church when i’m at home. not quite, but almost. but i love my home church. i’m looking forward to the summer when i can go every week and feel like i’m being fed. so, yeah…that was a strange transisition…sorry if i lost you. maybe i’ll discuss this later with some better planned thoughts. until then…
