we hit the road
San Clemente
to watch the surfers
they told love stories
fondly reminiscing
and their love grows

The year 1967 found Leonard back in San Diego visiting his sister Irene. She was always talking about the Lord and it sort of bothered Leonard. One morning to escape her sermonizing, Leonard went out of the house to sit in his van. To this day he really doesn’t know why, but he started repeating the Sinner Prayer – “Jesus, I’m a sinner, please come upon my body and into my heart.” It was on that Wednesday… at 10:30 in the morning… in his van… all by himself… at age 35… he accepted Jesus into his heart and he hasn’t been the same ever since. His passion has been unwavering. His dedication is intense.

Dylan Champion from Shapes of Race Cars just told me that the television program Gossip Girl is going to be featuring a song from their album (World’s End) during the show on Monday Night. Look for my face on the album at the end of the episode!
Well, that was too narcissistic for my taste.
Watch it on CW Monday night 9/8c.
Or if you’re like me and don’t own a television, watch it here:
