Rock solid Recap!!

I left at 9:30 Friday morning heading towards Freeport, PA about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. Frank went with me to do some spinning on his turntables.  We got a little of a late start so about 6 hours into the trip we passed a place called King's Island, an amusement park north of Cincinnati.  They had a sign that said $15 after 5 p.m. and it was 5:15, so I crossed 3 lanes of traffic and exited.  We spent about 3 hours riding some coasters, one in particular called The Beast, and rightly so, it was insane.  Then got back on the road and ended up getting a hotel on the other side of Columbus, OH.  We finished our drive in early Saturday morning and arrived at the Rock Solid Festival.  This was my second year to speak there so, there were a lot of familiar faces.  Frank DJ in between bands and also while I was speaking if you have not seen him, it is pretty amazing.  I spoke about where do you turn when life does not add up, when 2 + 2 does not equal 4.  John 16:33.  I shared some personal hard times and that the only place I have found peace is at the cross of Jesus, because it is there we find love, that God is always in control, and he can turn the worst into eternal good.  Afterwards, I had some amazing conversations with people who shared their troubles, and we talked about how God was with them.  I am also receiving emails with people sharing their stories with me.

On a different note, Nevertheless launched a new website called www.Tiredofsleepingin.com it is an amazing place where you can post your stories and also encourage other people.  

I ended up driving 673 miles today, so I am a little tired, but so encouraged, that God always has my life under control, even though times it may feel as if it is spinning out of control.   He is so faithful.  Thanks God, You Rock!!

I fly out Wednesday for Portland, OR for a conference and a chance to see first hand Portland City Fest with Luis Palau, I am so excited to reconnect with old friends and make so many new ones.  Thanks to all of you for reading, I am amazed by how many of you tell me you do.  Even this past week one of you said you don't write enough, so I will try to write more.  Good night!!
