I&#8217;ve finished writing all the new Scripture Memory Songs, and we&#8217;re already about halfway through all the tracking for the project.  Tracking is basically recording all the instruments and voices &#8211; you put each one on it&#8217;s own &#8220;track&#8221; so you can edit them later, making different things louder or softer or whatever.  I&#8217;m really enjoying working on this project!  I&#8217;ve been doing this one here in Columbus, so we&#8217;re working with different musicians and a new engineer and studio.  It&#8217;s been challenging and also really fun to produce the whole thing myself as well.  After this we go to editing, mixing, mastering, package design, and finally manufacturing and we&#8217;re looking at a May release.  In total we&#8217;ll have 39 songs on this project!  We&#8217;ll keep you posted!<\/p>\n<p>I know many of you have been praying for my assistant, Donna, as she&#8217;s back fighting cancer.  She&#8217;s had her first two sessions of chemo, and they had told her that given the kind she had and the fact that it&#8217;s stage 4, chemo was going to be &#8220;pretty brutal.&#8221;  We&#8217;ve been praying so much that God would sustain her and let her do what she needed to do.  Praise God, while she&#8217;s been really tired afterward for several days, she didn&#8217;t have nearly the nausea or side effects she was fearing!  I am so grateful, and so grateful for your prayers for her &#8211; she&#8217;s so loved.  She just had a &#8220;going away party&#8221; for her hair &#8211; she&#8217;s hilarious, and meets the challenge with such an amazing spirit.  I&#8217;m thankful she&#8217;s my friend.<\/p>\n<p>And in honor of Donna, my younger daughter, Rachel, decided to donate 12&#8243; of her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths which makes wigs for women with cancer.  After we cleaned it up, she lost about 14&#8243; and clearly, she still has a lot of hair, but I was so proud of her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a really busy month.
