Just wanted to say our small church participated in a Christmas program here in a suburb of Kansas City,  Missouri.
We organized a trio of Piano, Bass, and Drums and competed with our local Community Band performing 5 selections from A Jazz-Inspired Christmas.  Many reported our trio was the hightlight of the evening.  I am the musical director and pianist/organist of the church and perform many of your arrangements regularly.  Our congregation love them and I constantly give praise to your talent and direction. I now own all of your current books and enjoy the challenge of performing them.  One of my strengths is improvising and I am constantly learning new techniques and at the same time reinforcing old ones thanks to your arrangements.  Please keep up the inspiring work, it keeps me on the edge of my seat.  God Bless, Craig Curry!

Thank You Cyber Monday Shoppers!

Thanks Donna! Your comment was helpful to me as I’m right now in the middle of all those “upcoming” projects from May!

One thing at a time and use the hours God’s given for His glory… very good advice. Sounds a lot like Matthew 6:33-34: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Thanks again. Continuing to pray for you…

Craig, you have said all this so well.  First, I am impressed that you are so goal oriented, but you get a lot done that way.  Indeed, our worth is not connected to our productivity as God loves us just the way we are.  I find each day challenging.  I was just saying to myself about an hour ago, I have too much to do today.  Then, reading this blog I realized that I just have to do one thing at a time and use the hours given me for His glory.  You are a treasure, to God, and to my family!

I thought I'd share some of the emails I've been getting from the Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma after my time with them at their retreat on Monday night. I'll post the excerpts anonymously so I don't have to write and ask everyone for permission to post them here.

"Just a note to thank you for your ministry to the Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma Monday evening. I was deeply touched by your testimony and your music."

"Thanks for being persistent and finally finding the OBU campus. And thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us through your music at the churchmen retreat. I have appreciated your songs over the years."

"Thanks for ministering to us at the Singing Churchmen retreat in Shawnee this week. I was blessed by your humble spirit, testimony and songs."

"I had the privilege of hearing you on Monday night at the Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma Retreat in Shawnee.The songs you sang made quite an impression on me, and God used them to stir my heart!"

"I so identified with you on Monday night as I also recently experienced burnout [and] ...stress related depression. Your openess and attitude touched me deeply."

"I wanted to thank you for coming and leading us in a time of worship at our retreat. I will be praying for you. I loved the two worship songs you led us in and would love to have the music to teach them to my church. Thank you again for coming and blessing me so tremendously with your music and your testimony."

"I heard you at the Singing Churchmen Retreat the other day and really enjoyed what you had to say."

"Just wanted to type a note of encouragement and thanks for your ministry. I appreciate your openness and unpretentious spirit. Keep walking with Him. He is our Constant."

"Thanks so much for your transparency during our worship time together. It is always good to remember that we are all in the same boat together, we all face the same trials, struggles, temptation, and weaknesses, but it is most important to remember that we also share the same Savior!! I was truly blessed by the experience Monday night!"

"What an absolute blessing you were at the Churchmen retreat last night!!!!"

All I can say is, "To God be the glory." I'm still aglow from that experience. Thanks guys for a great time together.
