MAJOR LIFE NEWS:

(Page UPDATED 5/26/2008, 11:38pm EST)


WPHA now has a JINGLE!! Please CLICK HERE and play it in the SL Player! :) Then, go to the BLOG and share your thoughts. :)


(5/7/08) I just 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 ministry of WPHA! \o/


On THURSDAY, (3/6/08) I had a meeting with a local Christian businessman to discuss WPHA! There is nothing else to report, but PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!! \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!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMF_24cQqT0

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. Click the links for more info.)

Here's a sneak peek:


(A facility like this would cost about $600,000. The radio station, itself, would cost 20-30 MILLION.)
Thanks for praying, and God bless you!


ARTISTS: PLEASE...
READ CAREFULLY!

EVERYONE: Before submitting music to Radio,
read THIS BLOG by IndieHeaven.



Don't send "Friend Requests" for
Rock music, Rap, or Hip-Hop...
PLEASE!! I CAN NOT USE IT!
I DO NOT KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS when you send a "Friend Request" -
I presume you're submitting music.


If you are an artist who performs those styles of music, and you wish to contact me about something on my page, my ministry, etc, then PLEASE USE SHOUTMAIL, and do NOT just send a "Friend Request"! Such a request will only be perceived by me as a "submittal", and will be rejected. A ShoutMail will not. :)

Why am I saying this? Because some folks have sent me "Friend Requests", intending to make contact. I don't know your intentions when you send me an unexplained "Friend Request"! A note to the guestbook or a ShoutMail would be MUCH better than a "Friend Request" out of the blue.


Please know that I am NOT criticizing YOU for the music He has called YOU to produce! Just understand that those music styles are NOT my ministry! They are someone else's. Thank you. :)

(Please read Romans 14!)

Kelly a heart for children & animals on 7/20/08 - 8:59 AM
Hi Friend!

I am asking for prayer, please stop by and read my newest blog.
Police Officer Andrew W. was shot in the face point blank and killed, he is close to people I know and leaves behind a wife and 3 little ones. He was a man of God.

I am also asking for us to intercede for all the people who are on the side of Christ, to put on the Armor of Light. If you can and will be in agreement please pray this prayer with me and the ones I send this to today!

Oh, Father in Heaven,
You know and see all as there is nothing that is hidden from You, You know all things before we even ask it, but because You want us to ask in our relationship with You, we ask Father to come boldly before your throne of Grace and we ask today that You cloth and dress Your children, and all of those on the side of Christ to be Armored in Light. We stand before You Father and ask for You to send your Holy Angels into the firmament to war against the powers of darkness and protect us with the Light of Christ as we move and know Your will be done. Father thank You so much for who You are and the gift You give to us of LIFE.
In Christ Jesus name I pray today, Amen!

Romans 13 ~ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenge to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

YSIC

Thanks for the link to Lynettes blog...it was awesome:)
Wanda Obermeier on 7/19/08 - 3:48 PM
p.s.
I like your quote about struggle.
Here's another quote you might like:
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want."
(I have no idea where it came from, but heard it the other day and had a good chuckle.)

Hi Willie,
Had fun reading your TAG blog! I like bluntness. Always have and always will! So, if you like hanging around smart people, do I qualify with an IQ of 125? My best friend's IQ is 140, and he drives me nuts sometimes! LOL!
Here's a statement for you to ponder:
"The only thing mystical is the truth we don't embrace."
True or false? (I'm using the line in a song I wrote and trying to see if I can get philosophers to confirm/deny.)

annie on 7/18/08 - 10:30 PM
I told her that I'd checked her profile a few times but it was private and I knew there was some type of encouragement for her going out but I didn't know what it was for.

I didn't ever want to 'intrude' so I never approached her. I was even going to just message her and not respond on her blog but there was no option for that. So I stepped out and commented. She responded. :) and now we're friends! So thanks for that passage into her profile page willie. It was a like a secret door opening up for me. :)
Amanda~I Love me some Leah! =) on 7/18/08 - 9:53 PM
Yes! She is! She came over with a friend request today and we talked for awhile. She is great!!!
annie on 7/18/08 - 2:40 PM
hey Willie... I just wanted to stop by and thank you for the passage to Amanda's blog. We've now become friends. :)

(and my tears soaked my face while reading...)

blessings to you and Kimberli,

annie :)
Amanda~I Love me some Leah! =) on 7/18/08 - 12:07 AM
I do know that one. Actually I was cleaning out the other day and saw the Ray Boltz tape with that one on it. I thought about playing it than realized I dont have anything to play a tape on anymore haha

Thank you. I was in my car for 7 hours yesterday and filled the air with beautiful Christian music from you. Thank you for contributing to my life and walk with Christ through this annointed music!
Brad - **Blessed** on 7/16/08 - 10:20 PM
Hi WIllie,
Thanks for stopping by. I've not been on too much lately and haven't had much time to contribute to anything! I pray all is well with you.
God Bless, Brother.

Is there something wrong with the song, Me and Jesus? It's pretty much my theme song. lol. How are you doing?
Karen on 7/13/08 - 6:23 PM
Thank You Willie,
I hope that you are having a great summer.
God Bless
HOI on 7/12/08 - 12:48 PM
Haha...A/C? Believe it or not, most people in San Francisco don't have it. We have the bay, our "natural A/C". :) It's quite uncommon for us to be experiencing so many heat waves one after another. When it's hot like this, we just don't know what to do with ourselves. I guess this is nothing compared to summer in Texas. When I lived there, it'd reach 117 at times. Get this...I have a brand new central AC and heating unit ready to install, but over some silly Chinese superstition, my Dad, who is also our contractor, won't install it. I'll have to explain it in Shoutmail.

By the way, how would I set my computer on "low-power" mode? Also, is there a fix to this problem. It's actually my laptop, and even on days when it's not hot, it overheats fairly quickly. I'm talking about so hot, you can't touch the bottom of the computer. It'll burn your skin. Eventually, it just shuts off, or you have to do it to let it cool down.
HOI on 7/12/08 - 12:27 PM
Hi Willie! Long time no see (my fault, of course!). It's been scorching hot here in CA. You may have heard about the fires we're still fighting. This hot weather isn't doing anything for my computer either. My laptop overheats and shuts down without warning. I get so frustrated with it, so I just don't go online until it's late at night or when it's a cool day (like today!). :) I'm SO glad we're getting a little break from the hot weather. How are you?
Sharlene MacLaren on 7/11/08 - 4:53 PM
HAVE A "FUN"TASTIC WEEK-LONG VACATION! ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!!!!!!!

I'M OFF TO ORLANDO MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY FOR A BOOK-SIGNING OF MY UPCOMING RELEASE AND SOME MEDIA INTERVIEWS! IT'S A HUGE RETAIL CONVENTION. SHOULD BE FUN TO GET AWAY, IF EVEN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. CEC IS GOING WITH ME!
Sharlene MacLaren on 7/09/08 - 11:24 PM
I KNOW!!! I'll provide the lines, you do the drawings! I can't draw beyond about a third-grade level!

Willie, you're funny! As I've said before, you cwack me up!
