I am the husband of one and the father of nine. I was created to sing, to worship, to encourage, and to be steady. I am the Owner & Executive Director of Trinity Arts Center, a multi-disciplinary Arts Center in Eastern Tennessee, and the President of Trinity Arts Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization focused on funding arts education and performance. I've been involved with four music projects in my life -- Hot Pink Turtle, Spin Radio, Stand Like Stone, and of course, Jamin Rathbun.

It's a good observation about a tendency to wrap our teaching up with a simple, easy-to-digest, moral, preferrably with some kind of acrostic memory aide. = ) Casey reminds us how Jesus taught...

I'm tempted to expound with my thoughts on the article but -- in the spirit of "ugly preaching", I'll just let you come to your own conclusion. = )
Casey posts frequently on The Ooze and The Next Wave.
