We pulled out of Nashville mid-December and heading to Memphis for a wedding the kids and I were in (Yea Nick and Amy Brown). It was hard to leave the great farm, but we were excited about the new adventure ahead. After the wedding we heading to TX for the holidays and a lot of family/friends time, which was great. I was in another wedding Dec 23 (Yea Philip and Jennifer Zielke), and we bounced around between Dallas, Ft. Worth, and San Antonio. Good times.
In early Jan we heading up to Colorado--praising God that the winter storms held off a little while I drove the Uhaul pulling one car, and Patti and the kids followed behind in the van. It's been good, and COLD, being here. It's beautiful. Co Springs feels familiar after my 4 summers at Eagle Lake Camp, but we're still in that "this is weird and new and disorienting" phase. It's been fun the play in the snow with the kids, and Patti is doing a great job finding libraries and other fun places for them to go.
We are living at Glen Eyrie (www.gleneyriegroup.org) through Feb, and so we're looking for a more permenant home alot these days.
I'm excited about the job--resident worship leader for the 70 conferences they have a year (CHECK IT OUT AND COME TO ONE!), and part of the programs/conferences team--and believe it's going to be good being here. We are going to look into local shelters and places that we can serve as a family.
Thanks for your interest and prayers, and let me know how you are doing.
Yeah! Welcome to Colorado! I am glad you all made it safely especially given the weather the last few months. We are looking forward to seeing you guys soon now that you are simply "down the road!" Good luck with the settling in.

So glad to hear that you all made it okay. It sounds wonderful, and I'm sure your new home is blessing you as much as you're blessing it! Enjoy the weather for those of us still stuck in Texas. ; )

Hi Jeff,
I had to send you an e-mail and let you know how much I have enjoyed your CD, "Beyond Imagination." It is inspiring and uplifting, a true and rare gift God has given you!
Martha Range and I combined our orders, and I requested five. Martha and I have known each other in Mesquite, TX. for over 20 years and she is a remarkable person. I have been so blessed to have her in my life and we have shared alot throughout the years. I was at her home, doing cleaning for her when I asked if I could play a CD on her Boise System. It was just the strangest occurrance with nothing wanting to play that I put on. I spotted your CD and popped it in, expecting "nothing." Your CD began playing, and Martha and I were both stunned. We sat and listened to the CD together and we were both in awe! Normally, I will continue with my work, but I had to take the song jacket out and look at the lyrics as the CD played. I was SOOOOOOOO moved, I asked where a copy could be found. I am grateful Martha was able to get in touch with your Mother and reach you for an order. Martha and I both believe this was the work of the Holy Spirit!! I have a close friend that had breast cancer surgery on Monday. She will receive one of your CD's as she begins her chemo treatments. (Amy Harvey is 34 yrs. with young children, ages 7 and 3 yrs.) Please put her on your prayer list. I know Amy will feel the power of prayer in your music, as did I.
I don't know how to thank you for giving this "gift" to us, so I'm asking God too. Continue with your beautiful talent, and bringing us all closer to God thru your music!
Sincerely;
Cindy Treadway
