I've been working on an area of ministry that is a somewhat new to me this week. I have been recording my own soundtracks for a special concert that we are doing in March. On March 28th, we are hosting a special gospel music concert at our college, Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, MI. It will be a special night featuring quite a few students with great musical talent. We will be doing some songs with soundtracks and some with live instruments, and I'm recording the tracks at home, playing most (or on some songs all) of the instruments. Josh will be lending a big helping hand to the evening by co-hosting the event with me, playing most of the live piano (which is much better than DEAD piano!), and doing his signature stand-up comedy. I organized a men's quartet, which we dubbed the "Abiding Grace" quartet, and will be singing tenor. This a bit unusual for me, since in the college choir I usually sing bass! We've done this once before, so I'm confident that it will be great.
There will be a number of other students performing as well, with some absolutely great voices being featured as well as some instrumental solos. This is to be a student body event to raise money for our student body fund, which is used to make improvements at the college for the student's benefit and in some cases, perhaps even help with tuition. There will be no admission charge, but we will be taking a freewill offering and selling refreshments to raise support. If you are in the area we would love for you to come out to see us. In the meantime, I will be working frantically to get the recording done and practicing with the performing students at the college.
To all those who read Josh's last blog and may have been confused....No, Josh did not rob that bank. He did consider it, and he even tried to get me in on it. But I managed to change his mind by dragging him into a dark room and beating him until he lost consciousness! Once the bleeding stopped and both of his hips had popped back out of his collar bone, he saw that I was right.
Nothing like brotherly love! It's hard to believe that we were born in Philadelphia!
Have a nice day, and remember to "Love thy neighbor"!

What time does it start? I would like to come and bring some of my friends, too. Hope to see you then!
Hey everybody, It's me, Joshua. I just thought it would be cool to leave a comment on my own blog. By the way, my brother did not beat me up. I gotta start checking what he writes.
