Phil Keaggy was one of the first Christian artists I took to heart when I started following the Lord. I enjoyed hearing this part of his testimony again.
"I would rather lay my soul asoak in a half dozen verses of the Bible all day than to only rinse my hand in several chapters." - Spurgeon
"Work like it all depends on you and pray like it all depends on God" (this is something my Dad once told me)
From I Peter 4:1-2 in The Message:
"Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think and act like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning away from the old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want."

Nice post Chip. Phil is starting to look old, with his gray/white hair and all. But listening to his voice is like listening to the voice of a friend from another time.
I'm sorry I've not commented on your other recent posts. Lots of good stuff there. But I've not been into blogs much in the last couple of weeks. I can't believe you still have the Sigma guitar. I would have thought that with the Larrivee all others would have been forsaken.
I don't play my acoustic much these days. Now that I play bass at church, my Larrivee rarely sees the light of day. And that's a real shame.
Rodney, I've neglected my acoustic for awhile as well, especially over the last 10 months or so since Luke was born. When he was newborn I had to be quiet. Now that he's mobile, he jumps on me everytime I'm trying to play. So I try to play just 3 songs each night after the kids are asleep. Often that turns into 10. I'm trying to get my rhythm chops back. There are several old songs I've forgotten the unique strum patterns to. As for Sigma vs. Larivee: The Larivee has the sweetest tone, but the Sigm has the best action. I need to lower the action on my Larivee but I'm scared to mess with it. I wish I could take it back to whats-his-name in Boone who we bought it from who had the little guitar repair shop.
