Tyler Ramsey

Tyler Ramsey is your typical indie artist. Barley making it by playing show after show for half filled venues and paying for everything out of his own pocket isn't how Ramsey does business; anymore.

He got started in his music career by borrowing money from his grandmother to record an album at a local studio. After he debuted his first ever solo album "A Long Dream to Swim Across the Sea" he caught the attention of log-time popular indie artist "Band of Horses". Since being hooked up with the already established band he not only plays guitar for them, but he also gets the privilege to open for the band every night by playing his original music. It's made a huge difference for his music career, instead of playing in front of those before mentioned half crowded halls he is now performing in smaller venues that are packed with 1,500 people every night.

In my opinion he is on his way to the top.... the top of whatever genre he wants to be on top of. Check his music out at tylerramsey.com

I don't hook up?

Megan told me last night that I needed to listen to Kelly Clarkson's newest song, I'm sure most of you have heard it, (I don't hook up) and I hope that if you have heard it that you've caught on to what she is saying.

Through out the song she repeats over and over again that she "doesn't hook up"; (quick, easy love) she takes her time to fall in love. What a great thought, especially coming from a celebrity who probably has someone she could "hook up with" every night if she chose to. Maybe she signs the song with a little bit of her own conviction; maybe she has experienced enough relationships to realize that waiting to give your heart to someone is the best way.

Let's give credit where credit is due, Kelly, you may not be a Christian but I thank you for feeling the need to let others know how cheap love always hurts; her 'voice' is just a little louder than mine, she's a little prettier too.

Check the song out for yourself.

Final on 30 Hour Famine

30 Hour Famine was a success after all. We ended up raising over $700 this year; and that will be added on to the 6,000 plus dollars that church t has been able to raise for this event over the years.

I want to thank all of you for your prayer and support for this event.

30 Hour Famine Update

So far all is well here at 30 Hour Famine. We (some of us) got plenty of sleep last night. We are ready for our community project that we'll be doing later this morning. For our community project this year we are going to Chillicothe to pick up trash at the main hubs of the town, we thought that this would be the best way for our community to see our involvement in wanting to create a better environment.

We'll keep you posted on what's happening.

1st 30 Hour Famine Update

It is 12:33 am and we just returned with 25 crazy teens from the Cavalier skating rink for a late night skate for just our group. Everyone had a blast and we saw a few major wipe-outs which were caught on film! We are starting to get a little hungry, but the spirits are still high. We'll see if that changes during community service tomorrow :-) I looked over and saw Ian gnawing on Nathaniel's arm; he is the hungriest. Have a good night and we will try to post again tomorrow to keep you updated. Thanks, Meg.
