I've gotten to work this week with at least seven of my favorite people, and every one of them has a Write About Jesus connection. 

Monday, we were in the studio recording tracks for the hospice project we've been doing since last summer. I helped write the five songs on the project with Gina Boe and Lee Black. The project is being produced by Dennis Dearing. Yesterday I wrote with Tony Wood and Joseph Habedank. This morning I was with Don Poythress, and this afternoon, it was Carl Cartee. Gina, Lee, Dennis, Tony, Don, and Carl have all taught at Write About Jesus. Although Joseph has never been there because he's an artist and is on the road nearly every weekend with The Perrys, his precious wife Lindsay has come to workshop a few times. 

Each of these friends are fun, kind, generous, thoughtful, dependable, talented, compassionate, humble… the kind of co-writer that anyone would love to hang out with. 

That I've gotten to be with them all in the space of three days has me feeling like I'm so blessed, I can hardly believe it. I've watched five songs begin to come to life through the recording process. And I've written three songs. And it's just Wednesday night. 

I heard an interview many years ago with Jack Buck, legendary Hall of Fame sportscaster for the St. Louis Cardinals until his death 10 years ago. He said someone had asked him what he would say to God if he got the chance. Jack said, "I would ask, 'Why have you been so good to me?'"

That pretty much sums up how I'm feeling tonight.
