Today, May I Introduce...

My dear friend and little brother,

Logan

Singer/Songwriter/Musician Extraordinaire

This is his original song, Is the Bride Ready?

Logan just finished his freshman year of college, and he has been playing guitar for about 7 years now. When he was 12, I had just finished my freshman year in college and had started teaching myself to play the guitar. I showed him how to play of few chords, and he was hooked!! I never did really learn to play the guitar well, but Logan persisted in teaching himself mostly through watching other guitar players and practice, practice, practice. It got to be such a passion for him, that my parents had to check in on him at night to make sure that he was sleeping instead of sitting in his room quietly strumming away.

At first, Logan mostly played for other people to sing to. He was going through that awkward voice changing time of adolescence, but he slowly and surely started finding his voice. He was mastering the guitar, and he was beginning to compose music of his own. He often played for me as I sang for various events, and he also started singing some background harmony with me as well. One day, as we were rehearsing for an event, he started playing a little music he had composed, and I started spontaneously singing words to it. We stayed up till about 2am finishing the song, and we performed it the next day at the event. That experience is what prompted both my brother and I to put more time and energy into songwriting.

I am really proud of my brother and how far he has come. He has had many opportunities to sharpen his skills and use them for the glory of the Lord, and the Lord has blessed him with a wonderful girlfriend who has become a partner in ministry for him. I know that God is going to use both of them mightily, and I am excited to see what their future holds!!

Here are a few more videos that showcase the gift that my brother has been given.

Enjoy these beautiful worship songs !!
