I am excited that you get to be a part of this process as we together watch what God can do!

I keep a running document of meaningful quotes. When I ran across it the other day a couple jumped out at me that I wanna share with you. One should have been included in my CD art but I slept maybe next time. Here is what it says:
“Recognizing that someone is more deserving of your respect than yourself, and having that knowledge makes you aware of your own commonness.” I'm not sure but I think that was from Coming to America.
In any event, why is it good to be common; because you recognize within yourself a need for something greater, a need for a savior. A need for Christ!
The second quote God gave me on a Sunday when I was sitting in Bible study at Church. It says:
“So often we walk in the realm of familiarity. We trust in everything that we can count on or figure out logically. Never do we see God in His true essence because we have no real desperation”
In our independent and interdependent less American culture we seldom know what true desperation is. If we don't know desperation how do we recognize our own need for salvation? We don't. We trust what we know and our experiences letting that guide and teach us. When we do this we bypass who God is and want to be in our lives.
Why am I sharing this? I’m not sure. All I know is if this is what it means to be common and desperate, then may I forever be extraordinarily common and desperate!

We are officially into the 2nd month of the New Year. Time moves so quickly. I hope that you are staying on top of all those resolutions that you made.
Things continue to be good on this end. The CD is doing great on iTunes and other digital outlets. I am amazed at who is buying and where it is being bought. A few downloads have happened from iTunes UK and iTunes Canada! God is good!
The ringtones are stating to be downloaded as well. Go to the store to find out what is available and how you can support me on ya phone!
Now some news on my crew 1Way…. We are wrapping up the mastering on our new project Midnight Run. I can’t wait for you to hear it. If you are a 1Way fan I know you are going to love it. Spread the word Midnight Run is coming soon. Keep an eye on www.myspace.com/1way for more detail.

Merry Christmas!! I just wanted to let you know that all the ringtones have been moved to the store. They used to be under the music link, but it made more since to have them in the store. Each song now has a custom code to make it easier fo you to cop it.
For example if you wanted to buy the Never Quit ringtone you would text
"PROVERBNEWSOME" NEVERQUIT to MYXER (69937). It is now that easy.
All the info on how to cop is in the store. Enjoy!
Oh, and there is even a free ringtone for you. The You (PJ's Song) ringtone is now available for free. It's my gift to you for supporting me.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
