On The Shoulders Of Greatness..

I am a huge people watcher. One of my favorite things to do is go to the mall or downtown, and just sit and watch people. Seeing how they react to certain situations, seeing what is making them laugh or just watching their body language and guessing what they are thinking. Last night, we played a show in British Columbia and during the Newsboys set, I decided to go out into the audience and check out the crowd. I was standing in the aisle watching the guys play when I noticed to my right a young boy on his dad's shoulders watching the show. He was bouncing up and down with the music, having the time of his life. It reminded me of the times growing up when my dad would do that for me. Even though I was really young, I can still remember the feeling I got when I was a few feet above the chaos below me. I felt on top of the world and it was all thanks to my great dad. It made me really think about how blessed I am to have great parents and a great family. Being out on the road, it makes you really miss home. Throughout all the years, I have had the most supportive family a guy could ask for. They have always challenged me to go for my dreams and aspirations. Some months, I haven't made enough money and they have helped me with bills because they want to make sure I never lose the spark. Even when they might have been struggling, they put me first and made it possible. So I sit here in Canada, a blessed guy, who loves his family more than anything and cannot wait to go home and see them soon.
