Hell0 All!<\/p>\n

This is Erin – Orin’s Erin. I thought I would help the boys out by guest blogging for them. They are both busy vacationing, working, and writing music. Also – the summer camps like Youth Sing Praise<\/a> and Young Neighbors in Action<\/a> are upon us but I’m sure they will keep you updated.<\/p>\n

I was cleaning up my iphoto library and found some great pictures of Orin and Shannon taken from the road… The road in Biloxi, Mississippi to be exact.<\/p>\n

I have traveled with them on many a trip (this particular time they were featured speakers for the Diocese of Biloxi CYO Conference). I must say – surprisingly – it is a bit comparable to life on the road with a rock band: (as I’ve done that, too) lots of driving, lots of truck stop bathrooms, and lots of hotel breakfasts. The major travel difference is that I’m NOT the only girl anymore.<\/p>\n

But I digress…<\/p>\n

Oddwalk’s Five song CD Little Steps was named on this trip. (After an excruciating 15 hour car ride of discarded titles and a John Tesh concert – that is a story for another time…)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We began this day with a healthy breakfast at IHOP (Rooti Tooti Fresh and FRUITY – see fruit is healthy)<\/p>\n

Not sure why I was getting the dirty looks because I certainly wasn’t the one wearing a sailor hat)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This was my drink from the Blow Fly Inn – The fly is fake – Orin and Shannon put it in my water glass. The Blow Fly Inn is no longer there, neither is most of the shoreline of Biloxi – The people there still need our prayers and our help!<\/p>\n

So that is a glimpse into life on the road with Oddwalk. There is much more craziness but more often than not – really boring car rides and Orin and Shannon overestimating their ‘funny-ness factor.’<\/p>\n

Nevertheless – I’m honored to meet many wonderful people and see “The Church” as the Universal Body that it is…<\/p>\n

I think Journey sums it up quite eloquently…<\/p>\n

” ‘Cause lovin’ a music man ain’t always what it supposed to be…” <\/p>\n

Have a safe and blessed summer,
erin<\/p>\n
