I recently saw this in a blog it is awesome Read on.
Have you ever said to yourself or someone else 'I really wish I could do that', or 'When I get home I'm going to do this', or 'Tomorrow, I'm going to do this'? Sure. We all have. Those of you that know me know that I do that with the best of them. We all have these big plans or great ideas for the short term or long term future, and we talk about that diet we're going to start…….tomorrow, or the beer that we're going to stop drinking…….next week, or the closet we're going to organize, or the desk we're going to clean up……still talking about it 5 years after you first mentioned it. Many times, it's because we're (read I'm) lazy, or undisciplined. Other times, our "mission" is not as important as we thought, or we get distracted by other things that are either more important or more fun. It seems that the greater the mission, the more likely we are to get distracted, even by smaller but also unpleasant missions. Things like painting the house, quitting your job, moving to another city, are things that we get distracted from the easiest. Have you ever met someone that actually did what they said they were going to do? I have always respected those people, at a minimum, because I rarely do. I (probably like everyone else) have great intentions at the time, but as the song says, that is the yellow brick road to hell.
That stopped for me on the 23rd of February. At the maximum allowable age of 28 and with a Master of Music degree from Baylor University, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.
This is something that I have always said that I wished that I could do, something that I never thought that I should or could do. I always felt and was told that my gift was music, and so should do something in/with music. It was always a feeling of guilt for me, watching the hours of news that I watch a day and seeing kids fresh out of high school getting blown up for me…and YOU. But I couldn't do anything about it, because I'm a musician. Music means a great deal to me. As most of you know, I have been a musician all of my life. Music has always been the core of my being and has controlled me like an addiction. Many times I have actually wept in both sorrow and joy, because of one mere chord change in a symphony, concerto or song. Pure music has affected me this way- no words nessecary- just the pitches, timbres, dynamics and tempos alone. The way in which sound interacts with my soul has been my life-long mistress, never far from the center of my attention at any time when I am able to actually concentrate on something else for a fleeting moment.
I have had the great fortune as a musician to work in several different genres:... To see the rest of this awesome Blog entry go HERE
| soulcleansed began in early 2002, when husband
and wife team, Robbie and Bekah Ferguson began feeling
a call to youth ministry on their lives. The initial
project, Keepin' It Real saw radio success with songs
like We Break His Heart Again, Goinatelia, and of
course, Keepin' It Real. Now, soulcleansed is stronger
than ever with a few more years studio experience,
and a new-fo und
sound with Lauren B joining the band in 2004. The
term soulcleansed itself represents purity. Soulcleansed
strives to promote purity in all areas of Christian
life; sexual, spiritual, physical, mental, the list
could go on. soulcleansed is not afraid to be real
with their fans (hence the title of their first CD).
Robbie shares his testimony; being released from immorality
and occultism by finding a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. Through their ministry, soulcleansed
has seen lives changed and listeners prompted to live
a life that is pleasing to God. The ministry of soulcleansed
was initially funded solely by Robbie and Bekah's
personal income, and later donations arrived to help
fund our first project. Although the couple still
pours their heart and money into the ministry, your
financial contribution can be used to further increase
the effects of soulcleansed on the younger generations
of our world. soulcleansed is currently working on
creating their newest CD in studio. The new disc is
centred largely around true love, holiness, and serving
God. soulcleansed is also going to be dealing with
more "real-life" issues on this next disc, such as
self-esteem, and sharing Christ with people we meet.
The effects of this ministry will be largely related
to how much financial support we have to back it up.
With a small budget, we can reach a few; but our goal
as a ministry is to reach out to both the United States
and Canada with our next CD. There are also plans
to begin distribution in countries such as Australia
and even Iceland, where response to our first CD has
been overwhelming. |
