I'm driving around in my car with Sojourn's newest recording.  I should say, that I have a CD copy of what will be the new CD.  It should be available soon, and pre-orders are going to be open in about a week.

I feel like I've grown up as a musician doing this project.  I mean from a child to a man (so to speak).  The lyrics feel different, and the music feels different.  Releasing a new CD with Sojourn is always an opportunity to take a look at where I've been since the last CD. 

I've become less afraid of failure and less desperate to impress people with my successes.  I've slowed down my pace of life and continue to look at how I can simplify, and concentrate on what matters most.

I occurs to me that I've been very busy over the last 10 or 20 years. Long before the first Sojourn CD, but my relationship with God has not grown or florished as it could have.  I'm more determined now to take the time, slow down, stop and spend time in the Bible and prayer, and studying Bible teachings.

It's a radical culture shift for me to not be really busy, but now that I'm 40 (and turning 41 in Feb-06), I'm wondering what all the hurry has gotten me, other than less time with my family and friends.

I'm looking forward to what this new CD has to communicate, and the enjoyment it can bring our listeners.

Later,

Adam
