Ok, now does he really look like a "mother hen"? Since the boys in
Sunday Obsession asked Carey to co- manage their Christian rock band last summer, he's been dedicated. He has scheduled many gigs, attends as many as possible, and nearly every recording moment with "Huffy", which began last October. It was there at Huffy's church where the name "mother hen" originated. Carey so believes in these guys and is determined to do all he can do to help them get their big break.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday. Porky was talking about how Simeon and Anna had been promised to see their savior during their lifetime. When Simeon finally met Jesus as an infant it wasn't as he had expected. On the way home I paralleled this to "the boys" (as they are commonly known in our house). We don't know how, where, when or through whom they could get their big break. All this time, we as a couple, and as a family, are committed to this journey with the boys. Our boys, (smile) and our girls "big brothers".
Carey cracks me up two times a week, with printing out his list of dates of gigs even the potential dates. He has many to clear these dates with. Our family calendar and each of the boys and their parents. As we all dedicate ourselves to this ministry, we are honored to be along for the journey. Thank you Jesus, and thank you boys.

You can also view them on Sunday Obsession's myspace, web address on the side of my blog. Oh, and you can hear some of their original music there too. As Carey does go often to the gigs, we his family stay home. But, on the rare occasion we get to go, we have a blast and are also so proud of our boys and their accomplishments. We'll embrace the "mother hen" title as it is all for their benefit, and God's glory.
Carey you're awesome and you are amazing in your enduring faithfulness to me, your girls and in working for the boys in Sunday Obsession. Thank you and I love you.
PS: One day soon, I'll begin posting pictures of different venues where the boys play.

How did you ever meet such a great guy?!
Can't even begin to tell you how excited Katie is to be on the calendar! We, too, are looking forward to the day we can say "we knew them when!" GREAT job, Carey! These boys are so very lucky to have you both in their corner. We all know that God does some of His best work through the human angels He puts in our lives.
