Yesterday my parents saw a concert of Jamey Dennison, a guy I met a couple years ago when I was with the Christian band Heaven 2 Earth. Apparently he had gotten our CD at the time b/c my mom said he asked them to say hello to me, gave a wonderful compliment about my songwriting, and encouraged me to continue writing. This guy has been writing and performing for a long time. This isn't just a hobby for him; he's a professional songwriter. The fact that he had listened to my music and remembered me is encouraging in and of itself. But that he would compliment my songwriting and specifically encourage me to continue is amazing to me!
So that was kind of a kick in the butt that I need to get writing again. It's been years since I have, but I know there are things God's done in my life and taught me that could help others. too. So, like Nike says, "Just do it." I need to stop whining about being busy and do the things that are important. And since I'm not working and on vacation for the summer, I could spend some major time right now. So that's one of my goals for this week and next. I will spend a few hours on songwriting.
It's a good goal. I'll keep you all posted.

This was informational reading. I hope you will respond to the kick in the butt you received.

You see from the next entry that my butt-kicking was not without result.
