Motions| Posted October 31, 2009
I began in my Christian walk to let it become routine. As it became routine, it became boring, and I began to walk away. Listening the "The Motions" by Matthew West changed my life. Matthew, if you read this, keep doing what you're doing! You amaze me by having that surgery and still getting up there and singing! Thanks!!! :D

Gotta say Goin Through the Motions has really hit home to myself and a lot of my friends.
I love the music video you did that was kind of a cocumentary of loosing your voice. I can only imagin. I know I have nearly lost my legs, but as a singer, and just in general that has to be so incredibly hard to go through.
God bless you dude..
