I am the husband of one and the homeschooling father of five. I am a singer, songwriter, and a worship leader who plays guitar and piano. I am the Executive Director of Trinity Arts Center, a small Christian Arts Academy in Eastern Tennessee. I'm also a guitar teacher and -- I spend about half my time building web sites and helping companies organize their thoughts, fine tune their products, and turn their customers into company evangelists. I've been involved with four music projects in my life -- Hot Pink Turtle, Spin Radio, Stand Like Stone, and of course, Jamin Rathbun. I'm also training to be an Ultimate Fighter (that's not true). = )
bibleAfter seeing my parents this week, I was reminded of the Scripture that they wrote on the inside cover of the Bible they gave to me when I left for college (I'm not saying how how long ago that was). = )
Joshua 1:8-9
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

That reminds me of a couple in Psalms:
Psalms 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Psalms 119:105
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Psalms 119:105
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
I don't know how else to say it... To quote myself:
"I encourage you to meditate on God's Word - to hide it in your heart. To take advantage of the wisdom and counsel and help that is available in it and to share it out loud with your brothers and sisters. There's nothing like hearing the Word of God out loud. God is good."
For the full context of that quote, read my post on January 2nd.
