This page is more important than any other page. More important than the page where you place your orders. This is the page that expresses the inspiration behind the passion to make and play drums. Every
drum I make looks totally different from any other. That is the cool part about
the nature of the wood. You never know what pattern you are going to find. You
may find some that look similar but still each is distinctive and unique in its
design. God did that. As the Creator He takes great pleasure in creating
something that is totally one of a kind. He
is the same way with His most precious and wondrous creation, us. In Psalms
139:13,14 it says that God knit us in our mother’s womb and also that we are
fearfully and wonderfully made. We are more than just a biological consequence.
We were made with a purpose, His purpose. We were made in His image and
likeness. We are all UNIQUE! We
were made to follow in His footsteps and create. That is why I make cajon drums.
It is the Spirit of Him who placed the stars in the heavens that moves me to
make these drums. It
was that same Spirit that compelled me, no, drew me to look for someone greater
than my circumstances or myself when I was much younger. At age 16 I came to a
point of decision. Did I want my life to continue as it was, empty and lifeless?
Or did I want to take a chance that God was real. That Jesus was really His son
and that He died for me and my sins. I
was definitely no angel. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I was angry,
bitter, and resentful. I was also hurting inside. But Jesus changed all that. He
was the only one who could heal my heart as well as my soul. When the scripture
says that He came to give us life and to have it to the full (John 10:10)those
are not just nice words. They are truth. It
is exactly what happens when you invite, ask, and receive Jesus into your heart
and life. He takes the emptiness inside and replaces it with His life and love.
He makes the old new and wipes away the past(1 Corinthians 5:17). Just like what
happens when you clean off a chalkboard. You get a clean start. That is
forgiveness. As
you read this you have a decision to make. Is this guy just another goof or
religious nut or does he make sense? Is Jesus real? If Jesus is real then what
do I do now? That’s easy. Just ask Him into your heart and life, something
like this: “Jesus. I need you in my life. I need you in my heart. I need to
know that you love me. I need forgiveness. I need a new start. A new beginning.
I just need you, I ask this in your name, Amen.” That’s
it. Now you just start living that new life that God gives you. All your
problems won’t magically disappear. Some of them might. Maybe even a lot of
them. But the important thing is that He will give you the strength to overcome
those problems. I
want to give you the opportunity to write me and let me know if you asked Jesus
into your life or if you have any questions. You probably weren’t expecting
all this when you went to look at some drums but God knew you would find your
way here. That is how much He loves you!!!
