Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:19

It started off innocently enough. “Yea…we ought to get together and jam sometime!” Had it stayed there, it would have cost me nothing! My ‘Batcave’ has held my electric drum-set for years. They had been pushed back into the corner, where all they really did was take up space and collect dust. But then ‘I’ went 1 step further and scheduled a time! Which was going to be a problem!

The physics of space and time never factor in dirt and grime! Silly me! I thought moving my drums out of the corner was enough. Then I remembered that Steve cleans houses for a living! Looking at my ‘Cave’ with that lens of information, even ‘preparing’ for ‘jammin’ was going to take WORK!

I had played drums for years! In fact, it’s how I caught my wife, Katie! But after marrying her, the natural rule became, ‘no drumming in bars!’ Over the years, I had made good money and got to ‘jam’ with a lot of great musicians. The remembrance, though lost, had been resurrected! But before I could ‘rum-pa-pa-pum,’ I was going to have to clear and clean the room and the instrument!

Steve was kind! “I thought you said this place was a mess!” As a PRO he COULD have pointed out evidence of missed dust, but he didn’t. He started strumming, I caught his beat and off we went! WHERE we were going wasn’t really defined because…that’s what jammin’ is! It was the time spent together that mattered.

So no, it’s not official, and we’re not ‘hittin’ the road’ to ‘make it big!’ But, like me, Steve is a Jesus guy. And when these 2 Jesus guys got together, it didn’t take long before the inevitable question came out, “can we use this for Jesus?” Since Jesus is our mutual #1, it was only natural to want to tune and turn our attention to Him! Not having an exact answer simply means there’s probably going to be some stuff to clean, more people to include and our mutual ‘Agent’ to consult! Which is OK! Because moving things around, cleaning stuff up and working together is ALWAYS part of Jesus’ Jam!

Are YOU Jammin’ for Jesus?
