Sometimes I'd hit dead square in the face by my choices and sins. Tonight I had a string of arguments with my wife. In the course of them, I started to realize... I'm always operating out of selfishness. and honestly, we all do. We all tend to look at things from the "what's in it for me?" point of view. Whether it's talking to your friend about his problems, deciding what to eat for dinner, or trying to talk your wife or husband into accepting the fact that you are right (LOL!), we are selfish creatures. And it's sad, really sad. I know from my own perspective, I want here to understand ___________, and I want her to say ________________ so I feel better. That's selfishness! Sometimes I feel like I'm so far behind that it's pointless to keep going, sometimes I feel that I'm the only one feeling the emotions I may be feeling, but then sometimes I get prideful and think "oh ya - look at me! I'm faithful!! I did everything right in that circumstance."
Thank God there is grace... because without it I'd be toast. Absolutely and completely.

wow. Am I the first to comment here? I just found out about your pedals today and found this link on your website. I think its great that you are using every opportunity that God has given you to show the world what the "true believers" feel. I am a believer and a worship leader in my church, and I definitely have my flaws, namely drinking and swearing. I'm a merchant seaman, so its hard not to. But God's grace is good and His forgiveness is final and complete. And praise Him for it!
Anyway, I'll be proud when my pedal board has your AnalogEcho on it. I either have to wait a while, or see if my folks will get it for me for Christmas (they already got me a wetsuit,so I'm not holding my breath). The DD-6 is like a silver Honda Accord of sound. Nice, but not special.
Well that's long enough. God bless and prosper you and your endeavors.
well, thank you I appreciate that :)
I don't promote this blog much, but I have a deep desire to remain transparent... so this blog is here if someone really wants to know what I believe in. I don't hide it... I have bumps and bruises like everyone else... we ALL do.
Thanks for your comment :)
God Bless your courage Brian.
..and i’m praying God drops one of each of your pedals on my doorstep :) j/k
Jesus the only Truth.
