Happy 🎶 The Turnaround
What’s up yall… just want to say thank you… truly…
I appreciate your faithfulness and the support… always checkin’ my stuff out…
Matthew West is up again this week…
figured I’d dig a little deeper this time… pull out a couple real hidden gems…
I think he’s got a lot of ‘em… you just gotta go lookin’…
especially those early records… man, I really enjoy those…
Seems like most folks go straight to the radio hits…
and I get it… they’re hits for a reason… they’re great songs… I like ‘em too…
…but honestly…
it’s the lesser-known ones that hit me the hardest…
the ones tucked away a little…
those are the ones I keep comin’ back to…
Here’s two of ’em…
Happy 🎵
Happy 2oO3
The Turnaround 🎶

Also… I got a super awesome bonus video of him…
with a couple ladies killin’ it on the background vocals in this song…
just found this one… 🔥
Hope you enjoy… yall be blessed…

Something to Say… 🎶 Out of My Hands
Hey yall… Happy Sunday…
more from Matthew West today…
Back in 2oO7…
while working on Something to Say…
Matthew literally had nothing to say…
Doctors found a polyp on his vocal cord—
it hemorrhaged…
surgery… right in the middle of the record…
and for a while—
he didn’t know if he’d ever sing again…
let alone finish it.
After the surgery…
he couldn’t talk for months…
couldn’t sing…
but he couldn’t be silenced.
He came back… strong—
and he’s still going today…
stronger than ever.
I’ve got two great ones for you this day…
🎶 Something to Say + Intro (Something to Say — 2oO8)
🎶 Out of My Hands (Happy — 2oO3)
Also… he’s written many books…
available on Amazon if you ever want to check them out.
I’ve also included a really cool bonus video…
of Matthew meeting some fans at Walmart late one night…
he bought them all copies of his record…
and performed a few songs for them—
right there in Walmart lol 😄
…
So he lost his voice…
but not his song.
hope yall enjoy—
and thanks for listening… always.

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
I’m fine in the fire…
beside me—
a fourth man…
So go ahead—
turn it up.

What is your favorite restaurant?
An Atlanta Chick-fil-A Story…
Growing up in Atlanta… if word got out that I answered this prompt with anything other than Chick-fil-A… I’d probably get ostracized, kicked out of church, and have my house egged in the night by a pastor dressed like a ninja…
So yeah… let’s keep the chicken-lovin’ Bible Belt Army happy-happy, as Phil from Duck Dynasty would say…
Seriously though… it’s a freakin’ amazin’ place for fast eats.
Chick-fil-A was born here in Atlanta… started by Truett Cathy… a legend in these parts. A great Christian man… a man who really cared about his employees and his customers… he built his business on biblical principles… a man who was always closed on Sunday.
I’ve even got a personal story tied to him.
My ex-girlfriend’s grandmother owned and ran a newspaper here in Atlanta for many years called The Southside Insider. She was friends with Mr. Cathy… and he actually sold her the building for that newspaper for $1. I always thought that was pretty cool.
I never got to meet him… I almost did. Missed him a few times in passing… but I’ve been blessed to hear many stories about him.
So from its humble beginnings here in my city… Chick-fil-A is now everywhere. But it’s different here in Atlanta. Different than anywhere else.
Here… we’ve got the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill.
If yall can fit through the door… then by all means… come on in and have a seat 😎
These places aren’t just fast food joints… they feel like actual restaurants. You can sit down… be waited on… and get menu items folks in other places have probably never even heard of.
One of them is found only at the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill…
Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you… The Hot Brown.
Man…
Let me describe this thing!
It’s like a casserole-style dish with white meat chicken in a rich cream-style gravy like thick sauce… but it’s not a gravy, really, I don’t think… and it’s covered in melted cheddar… topped with strips of bacon… and served with toast.
You’re just gonna have to trust me on this one.
I wouldn’t lie to you.
my taste buds are elite.
I wish I had one right now.
And their sweet iced tea? elite too.
When I’m not goin’ with the Hot Brown… my next favorite is the spicy chicken sandwich with pepper jack and waffle fries. The mac ’n’ cheese is worth fightin’ for… and the cheesecake is straight-up badass.
So if you’re ever in the Atlanta area… now you know what you need to do.
I might just see you there.
Lunch is on me.
…
And in me.
…
Bawk! 🐔…

Only Grace 🎶 Next Thing You Know
Happy Resurrection Day! ✝️
So today I’m starting a new one on Matthew West… I’m a huge fan—especially his earlier stuff. So many songs just put together right… lyrically and musically. His first 3–4 albums are that good.
I saw him live back around 2o08 or ’o9—not exactly sure. It was a wild setup… out in the middle of nowhere… big open field on what felt like someone’s farm in Brooksville, Florida. But man—it was a sweet performance. He’s great live. There were other artists too… might’ve been a 3-day thing—I only went one day… memory’s a little foggy there 😁
Also Matthew is supposedly a super nice dude from what I hear… really loves people and his fans…
Anyway—these two songs are from his second album History (2o05)… super good. Check it out sometime…
🎵 Only Grace — History (2o05)
🎵 Next Thing You Know — History (2o05)
🎥 Also—check this out… i included a great bonus video of Matthew surprising people at Waffle House with a little live performance… awesome moment.
Live Waffle House surprise performance 👇 supercool! 💯

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
— the first hour, and then some
So… once my dreams let go
and morning rolls around…
I open my eyes—
and I’m instantly happy.
I’m glad a new day has begun for me.
I thank God…
tell Him I love Him…
just chill for a moment—
embracing His love for me.
Then I usually lay there for maybe ten minutes…
eyes open… just thinking.
Then I reach over—grab my phone…
reply to my girlfriend’s texts…
They’re always there waiting on me.
She’ll send a photo she took…
or a piece of her art…
a scripture she picked out just for me…
along with her words…
So Supergood to wake up to this…
After hygiene stuff—
I head to the kitchen… get my coffee…
make my way to the couch…
Start my morning devotions…
Two different ones I read…
“Streams in the Desert” — by Lettie Cowman
“My Utmost for His Highest” — by Oswald Chambers
Both from the 1920s…
both deep…
in different ways.
One poetic…
one piercing.
I read…
sit with it.
Think about it.
Then I pray…
I talk to God for a while—
real talk.
Then…
I shut my mouth.
I listen.
To what He has to say…
After that—
headphones on…
I open up YouTube Music
Choose something… then just let it go…
A mix of Christian and secular
Then comes one of my favorite parts—
I grab my guitar.
I try and learn one new song a week, sometimes more
Right now I’ve been learning…
“Infra-Red” — by Three Days Grace
Next up… “Fine Again” — by Seether
Most times…
I don’t use tabs…
don’t look up chords…
I just listen…
play what I hear.
Learning the lyrics are the main thing…
the guitar part I make my own…
in my own style…
usually…
I’ll jam for a while…
have some fun with it…
then it’s back for more coffee ☕️
Headphones back on…
Then I check in—
My ministry platforms…
my YouTube…
my blog…
I respond to people…
read what others are sharing…
I’m not a big commenter—
but I show up lol
Then later I think on…
pray on…
whatever I want to write or post…
or if it’s time for one of my weekly series posts—
I’ll do that…
post on my other Christian platforms…
make a YouTube short sometimes.
Then I hit my workout.
Every day—
except Wednesday and Sunday.
After that—
protein shake…
something to eat…
And yeah…
That’s been my mornings lately.
I’ve been on leave from work for about a month now…
So right now—
My job?
Is just having awesome days 😎
Also… at night… I read the Bible and whatever other book I’m reading… right now it’s Hemingway’s memoir “A Moveable Feast”
After I read… I listen to more music… then I spend a good amount of time praying for others… then I sleep…
