Hello.

hey.
how are you? good? good.
how are we, you ask?
well actually, we're doing GREAT. greater than great. because we're starting a BLOG.
i know you've never heard of that before. it's because it's never been done.

danny and jess are blogging? why the heck?
well.. we're not completely entirely sure why. we dont have a mission statement or anything.

but here's the deal, danny and i meet weekly on behalf of the "soul team" of thirdway church, and it's just turning out to be such good time together. and we want to share that goodness with you. i know it would probably be easier to just invite everyone to our meetings, but let's face it, who wants to come to danny's at 8:30 every friday morning? his apartment is cold, our skreeching morning vocals sound especially terrible, and i'm pretty sure we still stink from having just woken up.

SO if you'd like to hear thoughts and songs born out of those early morning discussions, sans morning breath, please follow our blog. we'll be keeping it fairly simple. our basic desire is to share our hopes for thirdway and god's kingdom from a musical context, highlight the creative endeavors of artists in our community and city, and.... lots of other really cool things too. (i.e. awesome weekly playlists, lyrics archives for thirdway music, and probably weird videos of danny being weird)

well that's all for now. i hope you have a beautiful and inspiring friday.
i pray that our hearts will be open to God's mercy today for everyone around us, and open to the delight He takes in everyone, even you.

alright, now let's walk away from our computers for a bit and interract with some real people today. don't forget to get that playlist going though, it's a good one. also please enjoy the art by incredibly talented joel hedstrom.
