(Please READ PROFILE BEFORE sending Friend Request)

THANKS FOR THE B'DAY WISHES, EVERYONE!!! :)

WAIT!
BEFORE SENDING ME
A "Friend Request"
WAIT!
PLEASE READ THIS!

I'm getting a little frustrated,
and I MUST BE 100% HONEST
and up-front, here!!

You see, I am trying to treat this like we would treat face-to-face meetings; so here are my five basic requests...

First:PLEASE understand that I am NOT INTERESTED in receiving ADVERTISEMENTS disguised as "Friend Requests", yet it's still happening! Unbelievable!!! That is NOT why I am on ShoutLife. If all you are doing is sending out a "sales pitch" , or a "mass-request" to many people, PLEASE understand that I will automatically reject it. Why? Because it means you couldn't even be BOTHERED to read ANYTHING I wrote here in this "About me" section! <:(
(The EXCEPTION is for music artists, whose style is Inspirational/Light Contemporary, that wish to have me review their music, or who are genuinely interested in friendship. Then, requests 2-5 apply, below.)

Second: If you have a PRIVATE profile, PLEASE don't send me a "friend request", send me ShoutMail, instead, and TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF! If I cannot read your profile, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE with accepting your "friend request". Think about it from the recipient's perspective. :)

Third: I am simply NOT interested in metal, rock, or rap music. They are NOT my preference. Please don't send me repeated friend requests for it. (Yes, it still happens. Sigh.)

Fourth: If your profile has very little information, I am much less likely to accept. Send me ShoutMail, in that case. Even just a short paragraph, describing something we have in common, will be sufficient! :)

AND FIFTH: WHY do you want to be MY friend? :) Seriously! This is an honest, sincere question! Besides, if you READ THIS WHOLE PAGE, you MIGHT even change your mind and NOT want to be my friend after all, BUT THAT IS FINE!!!! ;) No, really! It's fine! :) We're all different! GOD made us this way! :)

OK, so... WHY do you want to be my friend?? REALLY? :) Tell me in Shoutmail, and the likelihood that I will click "accept" goes WAY UP!! :) (Just ask those who have done it!)

Thanks, everyone! :)

If there is ANY NEWS AT ALL about WPHA,
it will be posted here in a
HUGE FONT!! :)
As you can see... there is no news. Yet.
Please keep praying. :)

Here is a blog about potential harassment and impersonation that I think is very well worth reading:Ellen's Blog (NOTE: Her account is private, so you may need to send her a freind request. if you do, let her know in Shoutmail that you want to read her blog about harassment.)
Always remember: If ANYONE harasses you, ALWAYS report it IMMEDIATELY to the Shoutlife team! They take it VERY seriously!
E-mail: support@shoutlife.com

I LOVE THIS!!

A few thoughts:
"When Trials come, don't wring your hands ~ Bend your knees."
"Jesus never did miracles in order to prove He was the Son of God; He did
miracles because He IS the Son of God."

My former ministry (which after more than 2 years, I still miss so much it ACHES) was to use music to draw people closer to Jesus. Nothing in this life thrills my heart more than being an instrument in HIS hand to draw people (especially the sheep) CLOSER to the Shepherd! \o/ That's going to be the primary goal of WPHA. :) Remember: The Choir needs to be ministered to, first, before they can minister! :)

A few quick things:

MAJOR LIFE NEWS:

(Page UPDATED 10/23/2009)

I was running an online streaming station in the SL Main Chat for a few months. (From about March-July of 2009.) I ended up shutting it down for several reasons, one of which was that the chatroom simply was not the right place for it. I am looking forward to the Lord opening another door. Please keep it in your prayers! :)

I had some minor surgery on 8/7/09, and am now totally recovered. :) Also, my employer is facing some significant financial struggles. (Which are continuing thru 10/09) :(

On June 9'th, I attended another Christian Businessmen's Networking meeting. That time, I handed out at least twenty WPHA Business Plans! At least 10 people were interested, and 1 was VERY interested! PLEASE, LORD, let THIS be the DOOR!! \o/
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!! \o/

Update: 10/09 - Now I'm trying to get responses from those same people. Where did their interest go? :(

WPHA has a JINGLE, and a SAMPLE of what the MUSIC will sound like! Please CLICK HERE and play them in the SL Player! :) Then, go to the BLOG and share your thoughts. :)

(5/7/08) I read something that I believe is LIFE-CHANGING for anyone who is involved in ANY way with Christian music. It is not a quick read, but it is not hard, either. It's VERY well worth taking the half hour to read it. Really. :)

Special article about Christian Music
I agree with it whole-heartedly! \o/ The principles spelled-out in this article have been in my heart for over 20 years, and will govern the future ministry of WPHA! \o/

You'll probably never sing or think about the song, "AMAZING GRACE" the same way again, after you watch this wonderful video by Wintley Phipps!

WOW!!! \o/

Please check out my

WPHA
page here on SL! :)

I've created some CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS of WPHA! \o/

Please check them out and share your comments! :) (WPHA will be a Christian MUSIC radio station in CT. Click the links for more info.)

Here's a sneak peek:

(A facility like this would cost about $600,000. The radio station, itself, could cost millions. The LORD knows.)
Thanks for praying, and God bless you!
