Life is good...and you can't really help how you feel.

So, the past three days have been completely filled with music for me. Thursday was another fun night hosting Open Mic at Wayne's Place. We had a few new faces step up and jam which was really nice. Friday, Dave and I jammed at Uncle Kenny's Saloon. Any time we get together to do something, it ends up being a fun time. Today I opened up a show with a bunch of artists at Uncle Buck's riding stable and dance barn. Jeremy Gibson put the event together and I was happy to be part of it. I got to take Miranda and Liam to one of my performances for the first time in months...which was really nice. Today was also the day of what has become an annual event...He Reigns. I have to admit that I am torn about this concert. I founded He Reigns in 2007 as a music ministry. It's grown a great deal from the smaller events inside the Mulberry Community Center, but the vision is not exactly what I had in mind for it. I don't really have anything to do with the series anymore, which is not by my design. I didnt choose to be out of that picture, yet that is the reality. I am glad to see the event continuing, but it's a bittersweet feeling. It might not bother me quite as much had my "removal" from the event been something I was at least slightly in agreement with. I've asked to be included in it, even if it was just leading worship for a short set, but that hasn't happened. I'm sure that the people in charge of it have their reasons, and I'm also fairly sure that I wouldn't agree with them. Anyways...I've got another big show coming up on saturday night with White Noise. I'm also working on getting things in order for a big benefit concert to help out with expenses in the wake of my mom's death. So I'm keeping myself occuppied...I am just a bit irritated right now. It seems that the harder I try, the more frustrating life becomes.
