IMPORTANT NOTE: If you haven't stopped by to say hello at least once before -- in my guestbook, in a blog comment, photo comment, or shoutmail -- then I'd like to encourage you to do so FIRST before sending me a "friend request." Tell me a little about yourself, how you found me on SL, and also WHY you'd like to be friends. I'm not trying to be unfriendly, only to be careful about how I make connections here on Shoutlife. Thanks. :)

To all my friends who are visiting my page even though you don't have a Shoutlife account, thank you for stopping by! :) But it would be even nicer if you would sign up so you could join in the community ;) :)

The biggest news in my life recently is that I got married on March 7!! :) You can read about the night I proposed to my lovely bride in my blog -- click here. Of course, you have to be a member of Shoutlife and be logged in to be able to read blogs. Another reason for you to sign up if you haven't yet. ;) Or if you prefer not to sign up, then e-mail me for a copy of the blog post.

PLEASE PRAY -- for the gospel follow-up efforts after the two major gospel outreaches in Connecticut! (The first one was in Newtown, the first week in May, and the second was in Waterbury and the Naugatuck Valley in early June). These outreaches were a combined effort local churches, believers from other areas who came to help, and the "Good News on the Move" team. Together we spread the good news door-to-door, at neighborhood children's clubs, as well as through meeting people at "hang-out" spots and local town parks.

Do you like scripture songs? :) In 2004 a small group in my church recorded a whole CD of gospel scriptures in song. I had the privilege of orchestrating and producing the CD, which you can request or download here: www.peaceandpurpose.com/cd

There are some other scripture songs here, which we produced more recently: http://www.integritypiano.com/scripturesongspreviews
