Well, let’s see, what’s new?…… The stock market seems to be crashing, the United States is in a financial crisis, the world is in chaos, people are going crazy, everyone’s wondering who will be the next president… What is Crabb Revival doing in the midst of all of this? A little thing called “Dance Party”. That’s right. We discovered that everyone on the bus can dance incredibly well, so we like to express ourselves- mainly at night with the blinds up on all the windows and the lights all on inside the bus (soon to be with a strobe and disco ball). We put on some dance music. The kind of music you would hear while passing by Abercrombie & Fitch in the mall. You can make the rhythm with your mouth if you do the pronounciation of the letter “D” followed by that of the letter “S” repeatedly, hundreds of times. I can see you trying it now. Great job! You’re getting the picture. Anyway, everytime we get ready to pass a semi or a bunch of vehicles in downtown traffic, the music cranks up and we all hit the floor, dancing our little shoes off. We even cranked up the jams while we were at a toll booth last weekend. The ladies said we made their day!

So, as you can see, we’re not really worried about anything going on. I ain’t, basically because I believe in God, and if I believe what I believe to be His word, then I have no reason to fear. He has taken care of me and this band through everything. He’s not about to start letting His people down now. God don’t need any money or any stock market or any country’s help to do what He wants. We are so dependant on humans for so much, we fail to be dependant on God. You ever wonder what you would do if you were given billions of dollars? I used to think that would be nice, except the fact that my faith would be sure to decrease because of my dependency lack. I pray God always keeps me dependant and close to Him through whatever means necessary. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Well…I guess you’d get the whole world for a really short time. But i’ve seen all the goo that comes with the world. Can’t say I’d really like to gain the world. I’d have to gain people’s problems and countries’ whatever-trillion dollar debts. And if I gained the world, what would become my goal then? Mars? How do you own Mars? Maybe I’ll shoot for that! Who wants the world? I want Mars!

I seem to have steered away from my point which was: “What is your ultimate goal?” What do you do when you’ve accomplished everything you wanted to? What then? How do you fill that emptiness with a new ambition? Wouldn’t you die from a depression or sadness? That is how the human life runs. On goals. I believe the only way to truly be fulfilled is by a goal you always accomplish but can never complete. And what would that goal be? For the unbeliever, nothing. Everything is attainable. You run the risk of a purpose-lacking life once you have accomplished what you set out to do. But for the believer, we have an eternal goal. I have a goal that, until I make Heaven my city, I will never fully accomplish, but daily I will. Til the day I die, I will be seeing how many souls I can take with me when the end comes. It’s a great realization. I pray all of you will make this your unattainable, yet overly fulfilling goal. It’s only in this that you find true happiness…no matter what happens in this world!

Well, I’m off. I love Full House. I admit it. I’m not ashamed. Uncle Jesse is definitely one of my musical heroes. Come see us soon! You might get to see the ole black bus bouncing up and down and faintly hear the song “What Is Love? (Baby, Don’t Hurt Me)” from the Night At The Roxburry soundtrack. You can see Jed doing the robot, Zach doing the worm, and me attempting the Electric Slide. It’s a fun time for all! If anyone would like to contribute to the “Party Bus” FUNd, which will be invested into “ice cream truck” megaphones and effect lights all around the bus, feel free! Or depending on how much goes into the FUNd, we may just get a few plastic kazoos! Either way, it’s gonna be GOBS of fun! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
