SCOTT CUNNINGHAM ‘Til The Whole World Heres’
Scott Cunningham sits next to me sleeping and sick on the couch at Marcussen Mastering in Hollywood CA. He asked me to produce this record about three months ago. I of course being a fan said yes. A labor of love for sure and couldn’t pass up a record called ‘Til The Whole World Hears’ from Scott C. A lot of beautiful people came up from SoCal to work on this project and would stay at the Donnelly house. We’d share meals, memories and talk about the love of God. I think Miles and Ella were always wondering who was walking through the door next. So fun. Such amazing encouraging songs for followers of Jesus this record is.
Scott said he caught his sickness he has from all of the soldiers at camp pendleton when he went to minister to them a few weeks back. He’s trying to hook me up to get me down there to share some songs. Louie Teran my long time friend is mastering this record today and “killing it!” as usual(that means doing good). Scotts awake now and I’m going to grab some photos from his computer hopefully some videos from some sessions to share with you. Keep ears open for ‘Til The Whole World Hears’!
SCHOOL OF WORSHIP 2008
Rachel and I were so blessed by the 2008 SOW class. You guys were amazing. Between the times in the Word with you, digging into songwriting, alternate tunings on guitar, music and sharing some meals getting to know eachother it seemed to short. Man it was an amazing retreat, summit, camp…. The filled smiles as you loaded up to go home really made all the labor as we prepare for your arrival worth while. SOW is a highlight of our year because so faithfully God shows up big time in the times of devotion, music class and times of Selah. At the end of so few days i marvel at what the Lord does in the hearts of students and staff, ‘light bulbs’ that come on during music classes and fresh encouraging songs that are birthed here at the barn that are directed vertical to Him. I love it. SO SWEET. Miss you guys already. It’s better you left when you did because as you saw me dragging Thursday morning i actually came down with a bad case of influenza. I’m still layed out and it’s Sunday and Scott Cunnningham is leading worship for me. Well I’ll be praying for the 2008 crew you guys are true blessing. It’s all about Jesus’ every bit of it. May you continue to know and love Him more and more and help others do the same as we await His return!
Special thanks to Perry and Maryann Willer for housing the girls, building the Barn, and for the great encheladas that night. Darren and Michelle Cummler. Thanks Mike for the speggetti sauce really amazing! Pat and Marilynne Gomez and Jostline for helping out Rachel in a big way. On this side of heaven we will never know the fruit of those two days.
