Woke up at the crack of dawn this morning and drove out to the home of Kellogg’s cereal, Battle Creek, Michigan. It was dark almost the whole drive there which makes the driving a little more strenuous, but once I arrived and St. Joseph parish, the Lord confirmed the fact that I should be there. Spent the day with a fun and energetic group of teens for a retreat titled “Heaven on Earth.”
I encountered a beauty that is rarely seen in secular society today. Anticipation was hyped for adoration, the alter was all prepped and waiting for Jesus. A sister that was helping us walked up to the alter and with the most reverence you could imagine, the gentle fingers of this most kind soul straitening out a candle that was a little crooked. She wasn’t drawing attention to herself but I couldn’t help to notice the care that she put into the preparation of the place for Jesus. She wanted everything to be perfect and made sure it was.
Is there any action to small or to big for God? Is He my creator – the creator of all things, even color and movement and time? This lady probably wouldn’t remember the action if you asked her right now it was so simple, but it moved me. Helped me to realize that there is nothing I can do that God won’t appreciate.
Praise the Lord for this awesome day with the teens of Battle Creek. I am stoked!

Into the Depths, my first Praise & Worship album came in the other day and ¡wow! is it beautiful!!! Three of my friends walked around the Student Union at Franciscan University of Steubenville waving their hands, screaming, and giving away my CDs for free. I was so excited but I walked a few steps behind them, a little embarrassed. This isn’t my work, this is God’s work. That night, I had a CD release party which was a blast [you can check out some pics on my Flickr account]. All in all, I gave away over 100 copies of Into the Depths that day/night.
To whom much is given, much is expected.
Since the Lord has been pouring His blessing upon me, overtaking me at points, I feel it is my obligation to make this CD accessible to as many people as possible. I am working on agreements with: iTunes, Amazon, DigStation, and thousands more digital and brick and mortar stores [including Franciscan University of Steubenville's book store]. I hope by the end of the month, Into the Depths will be available globally. Have a listen to some of my tracks in the media section and if you think this CD may benefit your prayer life, I hope you will buy it. I have negotiated very low album prices so as not to hinder people who are struggling in these financially hard times. I will make a post when they are available for download online and let you know how to find Into the Depths. I would love to hear your feedback on the album and how the Lord touched you, so please please please leave me comments letting me know what you think!
In another step of my outreach, I am making myself available through as many peer-to-peer sites as I can handle. It is penance to maintain all the sites, but all things for the greater glory of God! You can find me by clicking on the “hearts” below. May God bless your day!

I would like to wish all the visitors to this site a Merry Christmas this year. I hope we all get caught up in the Christmas cheer and charity which is at the root Christmas. Let’s step aside from all the crazy happy holidays junk, and dive into the purity of this beautiful Christian holiday.
Into the Depths has been delayed in the production process. The December 1st release date was not realized – I am sorry for this. I hope to have the final copies in my hands this week. Into the Depths will be available on iTunes and Amazon within the month. Peace be with you and your families this holiday season!
