All our Houston area friends (or anybody in the country willing to come) are invited out to a night of worship this Saturday in Baytown. We're kicking off a week of revival meetings at our home church next week and wanted to start it with a time or prayer & worship outside. Mike's sister, Cassy Smith, is opening and you don't want to miss her! Our band will be leading worship with our cousin Lana Holtz as well. Here's the info...

So, we went to the Netherlands this weekend for Flevo Festival. We arrived a day early so we could adjust to the time difference (that plan didn't work by the way). But at least we got to see beautiful Amsterdam! We had never been and we're excited to see the city. I arrived before the other guys and took at train at 7am into the city. About 10 minutes into the ride I asked the guy next to me if this was going to Amsterdam central. He gave me a weird look and said I better get off quick because this train was going to Berlin. haha. Needless to say, I got off and found the right train!
I went to the Van Gogh museum!
Had to sneak some pictures! Those museum people are pretty intense.
Walked around the city for a while!
Played at Flevo Festival and started the day by playing an acoustic set in the middle of all the campers. Woke them up at 10am! haha
I'll post a video blog form our time there tomorow. The show that night was amazing!

John 3:27 - "A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given to him from Heaven."
John the Baptist spoke those words in response to a question. People asked what he thought about everyone crossing the river and going to Jesus for baptism instead of him. I love what he said! John knew that his status, his ministry, his whole life was in the hands of God. So what did popularity matter?
In a culture where everything is taken for granted (cell phones, running water, grace) it would do us good to take a moment today and simply be thankful. Relax. Remember that it's a miracle your even breathing, and a greater miracle that you're loved by God. Every good thing in your life came from Him, and will keep coming from Him. Just stay faithful, like John the Baptist.
Does it matter if you lose a little of this or that? Does it really matter that you don't have the new shiny toy? That boy or girl on your arm? A thousand twitter followers? No, its doesn't.
The only thing that matters is a life given away in response to God's generosity.
