Howdy all,
It's been over two months since the last post, so I figured I better write. Haven't really heard much news on Rich. Things have been pretty quiet. There was one thing Kathy Sanders did want me pass on. She'd heard that there were some rumors floating around (I hadn't heard this) that Rich was not happy, and that he felt like he made a mistake in this decision to teach full time at the reservation. Well, THIS IS NOT TRUE. Kathy said quite the opposite is true. Even though Rich doesn't start his actual teaching job until next August, he is very happy, and is loving his new life on the reservation.
This news from Ragamuffin bassist Mark Robertson:
"Aaron Smith is now playing for Michael W. Smith, which means that the Ragamuffins may be needing a substitute drummer for a couple shows next year. Aaron is still a Ragamuffin, but Smitty will be taking up most of his time next year."
I've got my tickets for the Smitty/Jars of Clay show here in Wichita on March 30th, so I'll get to see Aaron, who is still one of my all time favorite drummers. I'll try to find out who is going to play drums. (If you know, write me!)
That brings me to me next order of business. I need your help. I'm trying to get a hold of Rich's official tour schedule for the next year, and not having any luck. So, we'll just have to make up our own. As you see advertisements (like for festivals and such), jot down if Rich is going to be there, and send me the info. I really appreciate it.
One last item, one of our esteemed members of the list, Brian William, has set up a very good Rich Mullins Page. Check it out, here's the URL: http://www.kidbrothers.net
On a personal note, God is really challenging my stewardship right now, in time and money. Pray for me that I'll still have time to continue this Mailing List.
That's all for now, God Bless your day!
