FINALLY Caught Up With Bookkeeping

This is the very first night since I have returned from being out of town for Christmas that my place is finally neat with all the LTW packages for various locations mailed and the mountain of receipts on my kitchen counter and coffee table filed away. It feels good. I have not stopped all week, accomplishing one goal after another. Now that I am caught up with filing from 2010, I will be sending out receipts to anyone who gave to the ministry in 2010 hopefully next week, as well as thank you gifts mailed out this month to everyone who gave last year.

I finished "Livin' For God Alone" in the music studio today, and I love it. Now, I am only 2 songs away from having my next CD done in Christian music. I have written them all except for 2 hymns and one standard from the 70s by Andre Crouch, "Soon And Very Soon."

I began working on the graphic design for my next CD today, and I have a pretty clear idea for how I want the CD designed.

When I send out the thank you gifts to donors, I will also be including cards to share with non-Christians to lead them to our new site http://www.bygodsgrace.org/ . Next week I also plan to write the monthly e-newsletter and get that out to everyone.

Many of our locations are taking a break now due to weather, but the team plans to set up in the Times Square subway station this Sunday, not allowing the cold or snow to keep them from witnessing. God bless the team in NYC!

I plan to rehearse tomorrow with a pianist, "He Looked Beyond My Fault", and Saturday we begin working on the musical arrangement for "Soon And Very Soon."

This week has been so busy, and I have loved every early morning and late night of work.

Maybe this Sunday after church I will be able to work more on my new booklet called "Is There A Gay Gene?" for West Hollywood. Thanks to everyone who has given to help cover the cost for printing the hand-sized booklet. I feel it should end with a Bible verse or two, but I mainly want this to be information written TO the homosexual community and written FOR them (as opposed to literature on this topic written to Christians about homosexuality.) I want it to be something someone begins reading and cannot put down, because it is interesting! God never made anyone for the purpose of perversion. That may be big news to many in our debased society.
