Hey guys,

We are in Ohio today on a beautiful fall morning~It’s our first day off since leaving Texas and we are enjoying a little quiet time. So far the concerts have been going great, and I’ve been having a blast being on stage with JJ and Dave each night.

Each day we arrive at the venue or church in the morning and begin setting up and doingsoundcheck just after lunch. Most of the concerts start at 6 or 7pm and the evening is 2 hours plus signing autographs and talking to folks after the show. After everything is packed up at the end of the night it’s usually close to midnight and we all cram in the bus to sleep as our driver Ed begins his day by driving all night to the next town or city.

The awesome thing about a tour like this is being able to hear from people about life and each individual story. Those moments when we share each others joys, burdens, pain, victories, etc. in some small but profound way. I’ve been really learning a lot from this experience and we’ve only just gotten started.
