First of all, we all need to pray for all of the millions of effected people in the Gulf region that have been affected by the two massive hurricanes. The past month has really shown me how ultimately great God is. I've seen how he can allow and direct things that are completely out of man's control. AND, I also can't help but think how disappionted and "fed up" with man He must be. Is he trying to send us a message? Is he giving us some blatent signs? Maybe . . . maybe not, depending on how you look at it. All I know is that I feel highly convicted to draw closer to Him and the current situation makes me really re-analyze myself and my relationship with Him. I'm asking that if you are in or near one of the effected areas by the two storms, please send us some of your pictures and stories so we can share them with others here and at Beatmart.com. Send your pictures to: wrgopodcast@gmail.com God bless.

The picture to the right is of my man K-drama performing live at Rapfest in New York. B's up, y'all! Holler!

Today was day one of the ATF band camp. Things jumped off with lunch and then a "debriefing" of what to expect. We explained to the fellas that this is the make or break type rehearsal for the spring Aquire the Fire dates. Things are going at a frantic pace but very smoothly. PettiDee is taking the bull by the horns and has stepped up to the leadership role. We ended the "debriefing" time with a prayer from our own personal pastor Rev. Pee Wee Callins. The picture to the right is of a portion of our prayer circle. Please be in prayer as we trudge toward our goal coming thursday afternoon at 7:00. Hope all's well. B's up!

Here's podcast #26. It's actually hard for me to believe that there have been this many . . . but in any case there has! This is a "catch up" podcast to really kind of get back into the swing of things and get caught up on the happenings at Beatmart. We've got quite a big week this week so I ask that you keep us in your prayers as we prepare for the Aquire the Fire event out in Texas. We're going to be in rehearsals until we leave on wednesday at midnight. This podcast updates you on that event, answers some submitted questions, and even plays a very relevant song for what we're currently going through with our country right now. The picture is of my man Pee Wee Callins from a previous photo shoot. I play one of his songs in the cast that I think is very appropriate for the times. Keep the questions, comments, and songs for review coming to: wrgopodcast@gmail.com. Thanks for listening and subscribing and keep us in your prayers. B's up!

This is a picture montage from Peru set to music. This week will be what we at Beatmart call "band camp." We have our artist roster coming in to town to go Texas for a label-wide "showcase" for the Aquire the Fire organization. If all goes well with the collective performance, everybody will be on the ATF tour starting in the spring. This is a VERY important event for us as a label and for our individual artists. Please be praying for this event and for the guys on the label. We'll be bringing you updates as everybody convienes on Nashville starting on monday. I'll be bringing you a new and updated podcast in the next few days. Send me your questions, comments, or photos and songs to wrgopodcast@gmail.com. B's up!

This is a personal update that I thought I might bring to you as I sit here in my comfortable chair, watching my big television, in my air conditioned home. I find myself feeling sad for the victims of Katrina, mad at the knuckle-heads that are thugs and looters, and perturbed at the "race" issue that's being addressed. At any rate, the one thing that constantly stays on my mind is "what in the heck am I doing in the big scope of things?" At this time, and after being in a third world country, what we do as a creative company really makes me question how important things are. It makes me realize just how miniscule I, as a singular person, really am. I also realize just how huge and immense God and his wrath can be. I feel He's trying to wake us as Americans up to our hedonistic ways of individualism. If you read this, please examine yourself and ask yourself why do I do what I do. What's my motivation? What can I do to change for the better and truly pursue Christ? Also consider helping in the aid effort for the victims of Katrina. I agree with Rev. Franklin Graham when he says, "if every church in the south excepted 5-10 families from the Katrina disaster, we could hugely knock out a ton of this humanitarian problem". . . . think about it. Please God, continue to bless your children and don't let us go. God bless you guys, and please donate to the relief effort.
