upcoming events

So this saturday I am going to perform at a walk for life thing. There is an organization in the area called Care Net. It is a support center/group for young women who get pregnant and are making a decision on keeping the child or not. They are a Christian org so obviously they encourage the girls to have the babies and give them alternatives to abortion.
I've been asked to play ay the after-walk-party. There was originally supposed to be two other groups playing as well as me, but as God would have it it is now going to be JUST ME!!!! Today Laurie told me that the other bands backed out and asked me to play a lot longer. Which means the after party is going to be essencially a Jason Banta concert. I told her I didn't mind playing longer but it really would be kindof wierd having just me play for an event I know little about. Oh well, thats how it is. Igues the local christian radio station will be there and maybe a lot of people so the exposure will be potentially significant, I think thats pretty cool.
I just pray that I'll feel better by then. I am still sick. I can't shake this thing. Every few days I get really bad stomach aches and the shakes and a fever. Last night I had a fever of 100.2 F wich is really hot for me. My "idle" temp is 97.6 so I was really hot. I haven't been that hot in years. I can't figur iti out. I must have an infection, my head hurts all the time and my sinuses are funky too, so thats probably it. That and gettingn barely enough sleep for the stressful week I had.
All in all i'm looking forward to perfroming this weekend. I guess it has potential to start a "career" and stuff so I hope I rock. I 've been thinking about songs I could perform and I realized I forgot about a lot of songs I wrote in the past. Which is purty kool. Please pray that all goes well and I feel better. Until next time.......

i lik the sounds of an organization that still ultimatly leaves the choice to the girl. i'm not saying abortion is right, i think it wrong, but i get so tired of christian organizations who get so angry about it. i mean, like the christians who are are willing to kill over it. it just doesn't make any sense to feel a desire to kill someone for killign someone else...so what i am trying to say, is that from what YOU said it soudns liek this organization has found more gentler tactics to encourage these girls towards pro-life and i like that. ANYWAY i will indeed pray for you.

yeah it is actually a pretty impressive ORG. I was friends with the founder's son before she started it like 12 years ago. I guess its a national deal and she started the local ones around here. So I have no problem supporting it. I've been to a couple of the fundraising banquets and seen some testimonies and boy, you really see the cost of abortion and the joy of birth.
