It was 9 amazing days. Great stories to tell. We experienced some unspeakable beauty. Had some raw honest moments. And as one of our guides  put it, “God really showed up and the devil wasn’t happy.”

I’m blitzed at the moment, but don’t worry you’ll get the full scoop. Thanks for all of your prayers. They were felt. They were necessary. Thank you.

That I think extraterrestrials are real and reality is an illusion.

Yes, I have a beef with EMI records. I had a representative contact me about 3-4 months ago about my Weekly Crowder section of my blog. She says, “We love what you’re doing in promoting Crowder. Would you like free stuff and other things to review over your blog.” Well I of course said “Yes!” She told me she’s ship a bunch of stuff in a few weeks. And that was the last I heard of it.

I’ve replied, and nothing. So I love Crowder (who’s under the EMI label Sixpence Records) but, EMI stinks!

That’s my beef of the week!
