Well, we’ve safely navigated our way through January 2009, and that means another set of fun filled back to back weekend conferences at “Resurrection” in Gatlinburg, TN. Thank you once again is in order for all the hyper hypo united Methodist crazies for making our 3rd year, the best yet! We had a lot of fun.
And for a change we even rented a cabin high up in the smoky mountains with a back deck and a hot-tub looking down on Gatlinburg, and the “Ober Gatlinburg” ski hill. (www.obergatlinburg.com) It was beautiful, and a nice reclusive and relaxing escape for us. The cabin also had wireless internet and HD TV, so was the furthest thing from “roughing it”. In any case, the one drawback was the world’s windiest road that led up to the cabin. After navigating it 10 times throughout the first weekend, we decided that our stomachs couldn’t handle it again, so we booked a hotel for the second weekend.
Anyways, all that said, it was a lot of fun. We then spent 5 days in Nashville in between the weekends, and had meetings with our manager, booking, and the label, as well as a few writing sessions thrown in the mix. Yes, it’s that time again…when we rev up our creative engines, and try our best to come up with something new. If all goes well, we will have a new record before the end of the year. But we’ll just have to wait and see…well, that’s all for now. We’re enjoying some long anticipated time off. Be blessed - Jon.
