I sat down tonight with my kids to watch one of our favorite shows, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on ABC. The episode we were watching was about the Woodhouse family in Colorado Springs. Their daughter suffered from a disease where she couldn’t feel pain and couldn’t control her body temperature. She would be at risk of dying if her body temperature rose too much. The design team had a fund raiser for the family and they had David Phelps on the show to help. He was one of the family’s favorite singers.

Here’s a press release from a friend of mine that just released a new song. Kurt Kirton and Patrick Lake (on guitar) and I were all in a men’s Bible study together during my days of living in Nashville after college. Man I miss hanging out with these guys.
