So Awesome!

So, I was taking some time looking away from the 15 page Biogeography term paper I'm in the middle of writing to read the Bio on Robbie Seay because I was listening to him on Pandora. Here it is (emphasis added)

A critically acclaimed figure on the CCM scene, Robbie Seay was born and raised in Texas, and grew up in a household deeply devoted to the church, with several pastors in his family. When Robbie was a senior in high school, his older brother Chris Seay, who was a student at Baylor University in Waco, TX, became a pastor at Waco's University Baptist Church, and Chris invited Robbie to become part of the church's music ministry. Robbie began performing at the church with David Crowder (who would go on to become a noted Christian rock artist), and Robbie found his calling in worship music that also addressed issues of faith in contemporary life. After completing high school, Robbie also enrolled at Baylor, and after graduating he moved to Houston, where Chris had become a teaching pastor at Ecclesia, which was described by its founders as "a holistic missional Christian community" and included a coffeehouse, a recording studio, an outreach center for the homeless, and a space for worship services. In 1997, Robbie Seay formed a group that performed regularly at the coffeehouse and at Ecclesia's Sunday services, featuring Seay on lead vocals and guitar, Dan Hamilton on drums, Taylor Johnson on guitar, and Seth Woods on bass.

  1. Funny additional comment to this...

    I just came back to the library today (Sunday), preparing to spend several more hours on this paper. I opened up pandora and the first song that came on was Robbie imploring me to "Go Outside!" I laughed a little to myself and thought you guys would enjoy it too!

    Hope your guys' quarters are wrapping up nicely. I look forward to seeing you spring break!
