GRIT Rally

The GRIT Rally was great. From the speakers to the music (of course). I had the chance to play the bass in the GRIT Band on May the 5th. Ill tell you, what an honor to play with fine musicians.

The band included, Anthony Frazier(lead singer, and acoustic guitar), Barry Little(Lead Guitar), Brian Miller(Drums), Alex Pruszenski(Acoustic Guitar, and back up voice), two fine youn men(one singing, and one playing the sax) forgive because i dont know there names, and me(bass guitar).

The speekers were great. Jeff Smith was an awsome,awesome speeker. He had so many weird but to the point examples. He used music and coriography to tell the story and give the message. He used me as an example in two of his speaches.

In the fist one he called me "Sunshine" because of my yellow pollo shirt. Anthony thought that this was really funny so the rest of the morning he called me "Sunshine"." The wages of sin is death", was the topic of his speach and i had to go out and save people for God and send them to the church. When they got to the church the met the pastor the pastor then sent them back out to save more people. while we were saving people the devil was getting to people faster than we were, and they were going to hell.(not good) In the end we had more people saved and in heaven than there were in hell.(good thing)

In the second example he was telling the story of David and Galiath. Rob Parsons a good friend of mine was David and some other guy was Galiath. And..... I was the the prop boy. i had to be a sack of grain, a rock, armor, and a sword. yeah you could say that was fun. Rob had to throw me over his shoulder, swing me around in circles, and through me at the other guy.

I hope to be in he GRIT band next year or at least atend next years GRIT rally so i can have yet another great time and experience with a room full of Christian men, and all the wonderful speakers tell the testimonies and speak to us.

My Dad (Kevin)

My dad was the one who got me involved with Anthony. I'm really glad that he did once i got to know Anthony. My dad has inspired me a lot through out my life. he has persuaded me to keep going in my faith and not let go of everything that i have. he has also taught me to take everything that i have for granted. Not every body has a guitar, but i have a father who cares what i do and helps me to pursue my dreams of someday wanting to play the bass for some band or group. And he has done both. I play with Anthony Frazier and the GRIT band, and i am now playing with the Faithful Friends Quartet.
So Thanks Dad!! ;)

Anthony Frazier

Anthony is a good Man. He gets me involved in many things. i started playing with Anthony two years ago and still ceases to amaze me. Dont take this the wrong way Anthony, but he plays a song different every time. But he just plays what he feels. Which is not a bad thing!!

But all in all Anthony i a pretty good man that has become a very close friend to me, and i hope to keep him that way. He is just like a big tetty bear though! (just kidding) ;) Love ya brother!!
