I will be grabbing one of these before Skydog becomes famous and leaves the board forever.
And if Deep Within does not show up on the Christian Contemporary Charts, then I will be crying FOUL!

McSweeny--Touring just really isn't an option at this point. I have a career that I love. For now, I intend to limit myself to the three release concerts, local shows in the Atlanta metro area, and Young Life events.
Senator--I appreciate you saying that, but being an indy, there's not a snowball's chance. FBPro--Thanks!

It's unavailable right now (paypal) but that gives me time to get my paypal account figured out.

SkyDog - I've been meaning to ask you this ever since I found out you were involved in Young Life. How big an organization is Young Life? My little brother got involved in High School for a little while (he's only 13 months younger than I am, but he went to the local public school and I went to private school), and I think that it really turned him around. He went from being a loner with a bad attitude and poor grades to a social, successful high school student, and he always raved about Young Life.
I was just wondering, because I have only heard of it in the two instances, and was curious about the size because I was wondering if you over on the East Coast ever have any interaction with any of the organization that my brother might have been involved in here on the West Coast. PS - I'll be ordering your CD as soon as my financial situation permits it Hopefully that's soon

First off, that's great to hear about your little brother! It is the same organization, but I personally don't have much interaction with the ministry out there. Because Young Life encourages the local community to "own" the ministry, the strength of the ministry is definitely at the local level. We are much more of a "grassroots" organization than a top-down led organization. As a staff person, I see myself on the org chart as below the volunteer leaders in my community, undergirding and supporting them--setting THEM up to minister to kids, so that it is their ministry, not mine. My Regional Director (next level of management) would be "below" me as well, trying to do the same things for me that I try to do for the volunteers in my community. We have interactions as staff members at conferences and whatnot, but those break down as follows: Regional Conferences (in my case, the state of Georgia)--2 or 3 per year (about 50 full-time staff members) Divisional Conferences (the Southeast Division in this case)--every 2 years (maybe 300-400 full-time staff) All-Staff (US and International)--every 4 years (over 3,000 full-time staff, PLUS nearly all spouses attend--this is a monster) So, as you can see, I have significant interaction with other staff members in my region. Not only do we do the conferences together, but we also help each other out on our weekend trips to free one another up to be with kids and leaders. (For example, when Gwinnett County YL does a weekend trip, they might ask me to go up and lead music, another staff person from our region to be the speaker, and still another to put a "program" team together--the team that takes care of activities/games/fun stuff. So we also hang out together running camps.) The staff members in my Region are some of my best friends. It is hit and miss with those farther away though. To give you more an idea of the size of YL, I just looked at some stats. Here ya go...
Probably more info than you were looking for, but there it is. --Ben

Bump.
Just ordered my copy. Congratulations Ben. And thank you. Your music will accompany me every weekday afternoon on my long and lonely commute home from work. Rob

Wow, YL is a bit larger than I expected...I'm surprised the only times I've heard of it were when my brother joined and when you mentioned that you are a member. Well, kudos to you guys for doing a good job, and being great members of the community!
