It is kind of hard to believe and a little bittersweet, but The Stations of the Cross album has been officially signed off by me. I'm finalizing the artwork to include all my last minute co-producers and next week it will go off to replication and be available at the end of July or so.I was thinking I should take a break for a while, buy my mind is already teeming with ideas for the next one. I've already written a new song for the second edition of the Our Catholic Faith CD. I'm changing out most of the songs, adding a brand new one and a new appologetic on purgatory (what Catholic faith CD is complete without a blurb on purgatory, right?) replacing/adding to a story or two and replacing the current Anima Christi with a completely new recording of Anima Christi (my biggest hit) which includes the live string quartet from Macedonia that I used for the Way of the Cross project and some brass - gorgeous! This should be done by Fall as well.
Then, I'm already thinking about a collection of songs for Our Lady. What do you think? Any suggestions? Should I chill out for a little while, maybe get some sleep, play with my kids, clean my house? I think a real work-a-holic asks those kind of questions. I just convicted myself. I need help.

Please consider a group of Psalms, both praise and repentance (e.g.; Psalm 51)
Nice Idea. I love the Psalms. Sounds very "John Michael Talbot." You must be a fan.
Donna,
If you are going to do songs for Our Lady, I beg you to do a cover of the Beatles' 'Let it Be'. Just look at the lyrics!
"When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, ..... "
Our Lady has certainly been there for me in my hours of darkness and for those traumas I just cannot understand, she calms me with her gentle admonition "there will be an answer, Let it Be"
We always open our show with a special mix of this song.
