If any of my peoples and fans who watch my channel have wondered about the progress and future of my channel... I have not abandoned it. I have not given up on creating music and videos to share. I've just been super busy with one of moat cutest adorable newborn babies ever 😍 my wife and I had our first child. So things have been a bit chaotic trying to find free time to make new music and new videos. So please just be patient with me. I'll try to get back to posting more regularly as soon as I can. Here are a few pics to share of the cute little bundle of sunshine and pure joy 😊 her name is Dixie 🤍🩶🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤

 @ACMusic  I would like to thank all the other couch potatoes. I already made my submission for the #couchpotatojam9. I'm looking forward to seeing all the other videos as they are posted. I can't wait to see it when Anthony edits it and posts it. 🤘😎✌️ I have nothing but love and respect for everyone in the guitar community, who he amassed as a part of the couch potato army. I urge anyone and everyone who is a guitar player to make a video for it and submit it. 🤔 He is doing another one, so I already made my submissions. I hope you all enjoy!

Here is the link to his video - https://youtu.be/SuCPUC8rqss

Here is the link to my video - I challenged myself on this one, hehehe 😉

"When Moses leads the Isrealites through the desert, the story begins with a tyrannical state. Then, it's the spirit of God that leads the Hebrews.. or maybe it's the spiritual of God that characterizes the Hebrew longing for freedom. But is it the tyranny of the state, or is the journey we impose on ourselves? I would say both. The story could be referring to both. We tyrannise ourselves with our own presuppositions all the time. Then we all ask ourselves, "Why?"

Why don't we just give up our tyrannical presuppositions? Because they're not worthy, and they're oppressive. But we don't give them up and we often celebrate them. I think the story itself has an answer for that. Because it's out of the tyranny into the desert. So it's like... is that better or worse? How about worse. So what if it's the case that even to escape from the tyranny of your own presuppositions that you don't go from the tyranny to the promised land.

You go from the tyranny to the desert. And who wants to do that?! The answer is.. no one with any sense. It's an open question in The Exodus narrative whether the desert is worse or better than the tyranny. The Isrealites were in the desert for 40 years. So they were wandering around in the desert was... the same thing that is happening with them is happening with us.

They're worshipping false idols like most of us are today. They're tempted, and it's no wonder they're tempted because it's not going so well. They're having a crisis of confidence. They are pining for the old days as are we, and they're not so sure that the God who informed them that being the subjects of tyranny was wrong because now here we are in the desert.

So... they just like we are.. lack faith, and it's understandable. But despite it being understandable, what does God do when he hears about their complaints? He sent poisonous snakes in there to bite them. First, they go through the tyranny, then they part and go across the Red Sea, and they wander around in the desert. Then God thinks the best solution is to send snakes in to bite them. Even if you're in the desert after a tyranny and you lose faith, then the snakes are going to bite you.

Because if you're in a little anolog of hell... and you lose your faith.. is that going to make it worse or better? Or what happens when you start looking for faith in the wrong directions? The answer is... hell gets a little deeper. The reason hell is a bottomless pit is because no matter how bad it is.. there is some bloody stupid thing that will make everything worse. Which is right. That is what's truly terrifying realization to understand that."

I wanted to paraphrase Jordan Petterson on the hidden message of this Bible story. Don't lose your faith. Don't look for faith in the wrong directions. God doesn't do what you would expect. God won't get rid of the snakes. You have to learn to contend with them. Cause it's better to learn to contend with snakes than it is to inhabit a world where there is no danger. If you look into the abyss, it will re-aquaints you with the wisdom and possibility of your tradition.

There are snakes that are in the hearts of your enemies. Those are always harder snakes to deal with. Then there's the snake that's in your heart. That's the hardest snake to deal with. That's where the equation between the serpent and the devil comes. Because the worst of all snakes is the serpent in your own heart. Your most vulnerable to the worst impulses within you. That's the worst predator of all.

Christ himself made a reference that makes himself in relationship to snake. Well, what's the passion? If the snake is what you're afraid of... in this concretized sense... then the passion.. is the sum total of all possible fears. The crucifixion was not the end of Christ's story.. the resurrection was. The tragedy is never the end of the story. The resurrection is the end of the story. He is the almighty definition of what we are all capable of bearing suffering and prevailing to the degree of confronting life and all of its suffering and prevailing forthrightly.

This made the entire drive from Dayton, Ohio, all the way to Columbus, Ohio, worth the trip. I was able to get the set list signed by ‪@theblackmoods‬

I went to one bad mofo concert last night with one of my dear friends and my wife. We all 3 had a blast. We got to see 2 of the best rock groups of this generation that absolutely kicked a$$!!! I want to thank you  The Dead Deads and  The Black Moods  for putting on one great show. My ears are still ringing. It was truly a blast being able to watch you gals and guys do what you do best. It was an honor and a pleasure being able to meet you guys and gals. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart ❤️

It was a true blessing being able to be graced with your presence. I am on cloud 9 and still not coming down from it. It was an experience of a lifetime 🙏🤘😎🤘 I have nothing but love and respect for all of you! I encourage anyone who hasn't seen them live to please go out and do so. It's well worth the price of admission. I am truly in awe and humbled by how graciously nice they all were. I urge those who haven't heard them to please... please... do yourself the favor and listen to their music.

Support them by buying their albums. These 2 bands deserve so much more attention than the trash most mainstream media wants to force down your throat. Listen to music and support the music that is worth listening to. This is music with heart and soul. This is what music should be. All about the connection and emotion. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, so much for being the musicians you are. It's people like you who keep me pursuing and chasing the same dream of being just like you all.

For the first time in ages... I shared the stage with a few musicians at church. First time I had played in front of a live audience in forever. It was a true joy being able to share music with them. I was so honored and blessed that they let me come up and share the stage with them. I just hope that enjoyed it as much as I did. I want to the time to thank all of you who watch my channel as well. It really is a joy and pleasure sharing my music with you as well. I am grateful and thankful for everyone. I truly feel blessed. Even through the chaos and turmoil, I am currently going through personally... I still love my family, my friends, my subscribers... I love everyone sincerely ❤️ I just hope that one day we can all find the same faith, hope, and love I have found. Music is life. Music is love. Without it, where would we all be? We may stumble.. we may falter.. we may fall.. we may break down... but if you truly hold on to hope... if you believe in faith... you will find that help you need. You will find the right path to walk. You will find the answers you seek. Don't blind yourself by emotions. Don't blind yourself with foolish pride. Don't let hatred and anger blind you. Let the light guide you. You find your way out of the chaos and turmoil. Always remember that there is always someone out there who loves you... even if you don't love them. Never lose hope, never lose your faith. Most importantly, never lose love. Carry it with you forever and always. No matter where you go, who you meet... share it with everyone.

Some people take things in life for granted. So.e people find the small things trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, we just aren't meant to figure out what that reason is and why. If I can pass on any words of encouragement and inspiration... count your blessings 🙌 not your downfalls. We all make mistakes. We all have bad days. But don't judge other people for having bad days or making mistakes. Find a way to reach out and help. Find a way to try and make it better. Find out a way to put a smile on their face. Let's try to make this world a better place for those whom we are leaving it behind. Let's set a good example and blaze the right path and trails for them to take. We have to put our best foot forward in order to show others how to do the same. We should be leading by example, not following like mindless otomatons. The only thing we have to fear... is fear itself. Conquer your fears. Free your mind. Stop feeding the negativity. Let go of all your anger. Let go of all your sadness. Free yourself from the burdens that weigh your heart down. Learn to open up. Learn to share. Learn to help. The world could use more positive people. Not parasites who feed on the negativity and continue the perpetual vicious cycle. Rise above it. Become the change you want to see. Only then will you be able to truly count and appreciate every blessing God gives you. Have a good day folks! 😊

I want to take the time to speak.. a little peace of my mind. To whomever may read this... I have had my fair share of bad luck. But time can heal all wounds. Even some scars. All you have to do is hold out... hold out hope. Hold on to faith... faith that things will get better. 🙏 with persistence, anything is possible. But remember to always do everything you do with love. Even if it's just a tiny bit. That tiny bit may make someone else's day a lot better.You have to choose what path you want to take in life but whatever path that may be... always carry the faith, hope, and love with you.
