it was a great day off.
here is what i procured while participating in the commerce of the greater south:
while shopping for a jacket i was accosted by two people in tuxedoes. they asked if i’d like to try a complimentary beverage. i never turn down free stuff. it was an energy drink. i took it from them, drank it and soon thereafter felt very energetic:
this is the jacket i found and purchased. that looks nice dave:
this was also necessarily procured:
today we are in columbia south carolina. the folks here have been extremely thoughtful in their food preparations and presentations. all i have done, all day long, is eat. they painted pumpkins for each band. a picture of our pumpkin is located on our site. or will be later. i know jason took a picture for posting at some point. jason (or solley, as he is referred to in house) is responsible for the posting of the pictures on our site. but seriously the food was out of hand. there was this chicken chili that was ridiculous. like a drug. and they had deep fried oreos for a treat as well. no lie. an oreo, dipped in batter, and deep fried. just like the state fair or something. you could literally feel your arteries clogging. it was sooooooo good! at some point though solley comes up to me and says, “hey have you seen this? it’s a bag full of dr pepper flavored pop rocks.” you know, that candy that pops in your mouth? i hate it. scares me to death. some scientist, with way too much time and evil intent, developed this process of using high pressure to capture carbon dioxide in hard candy. completely unnatural. i’m sure you well know the myths and legends that developed around these candies, the most spectacular being that if you mixed them with a carbonated beverage it would cause your stomach to explode. you may remember this as the cause of death for “mikey” the life cereal commercial kid who died of a lethal combination of pop rocks and coca cola. of course “they” will tell you this is untruth. urban legend. never trust “them”. pop rocks are bad. bad i say! not exciting at all. so anyway, jason shows me these dr pepper flavored rocks in hopes that i’ll bite:
“no way!!” i say. i mean if mixing them after the fact is bad, this is like double bad. doubly mixed. they’re mixed before they’re mixed. “insane,” i say! “insane!!!”then i get to thinking about some tests we could run. “hey. pour that pack out. then let’s add something to it and see what happens in an open environment.” think of this. dr pepper poured on top of dr pepper pop rocks. this could lead to something heroic. something that we speak of for years. there was no dr pepper. only diet dr pepper. it will have to do:
we poured a small amount on the top of the pile:
then suddenly something extraordinary happened! it popped and spit and turned to some undeterminable mess of muck in a matter of seconds!!!:
this was not good. i thought of mikey and the close calls i’d had as a child. i wondered why, why do we toy and taunt death so? what causes us to wander so close to the edge? does this make us feel more alive? really? i checked to see if it had eaten through the plate. it hadn’t. then jason grabbed the other bag of dr pepper pop rocks! “don’t” i screamed! “don’t!” it was too late:
“hey. let me see that. it sounds like it’s really popping pretty good. does it really taste like dr pepper?” “sorta,” he said, kind of muffled while the popping got louder as i leaned in:
then i went back to eating. smoked salmon, potatoes, green beans, and pork tenderloin – my favorite:
then i got mike d hooked on a game that i have played off and on all day. it is called ‘find it’. it is a cylinder filled with dense plastic pieces with the following objects interspersed:
penny, balloon, baseball, block, butterfly, candy cane, car, eraser, top hat, marble, pom pom, rubber band, pony bead, wiggle eye, safety pin, alphabet dice, smiley face, flag, fish, star, eff, ring, and a snowflake.
you are supposed to find the listed items by shaking and turning and throwing the cylinder about. within a few minutes i had found everything but the penny. hours later, literally hours later, i still had not found the penny. mike d is brilliant and i thought, if anyone can find the penny he can find the penny:
he couldn’t find the penny. i don’t think there is a penny. we would have found it by now. shane and shane are playing on stage right now and we drilled a hole in the ‘find it’ cylinder and dumped all the dense plastic beads out. we didn’t believe that there was a penny. there is a penny. a bright, shiny 2004 penny. who knew?

Ha! I’m the first to comment!…LOL!
Tater- The giant one… That is!
fun stuff. when do you go home? like home home?? i nkow you just started so.. but God bless you all.
oooh! sounds tasty! ever chugged dr.pepper and pop rocks at the same time? i got a stomach ache like none other last time i tried.
btw, i thought the dr.pepper and pop rocks in the first picture was a mucus colored slug…ICK!
Sorry about that, I get carried away sometimes….. You look like your’e having fun on your tour. Whatever floats your boat…or sinks your ship I guess….
Tater- The giant one… That is!
those pop rocks kindof looked like poop rocks when mixed with Dr. Pepper….
lol, you guys are hilarious. and rockstar’s pretty dang powerful…
Thanks for sharing your life with us!
See you in Orlando on Sunday–we love you!!
I had two rockstars while driving a church van for 8 hours in Wyoming… and at one point, it gave me this massive cramp in my leg, and I nearly cried in front of all of the youth we were taking… luckily I saved face.
The pop-rocks epic was classic… I dunno about soda to begin with… have you ever poured coke on a battery terminal to get the battery acid off? I’m sorry, but something more powerful than BATTERY ACID surely shouldn’t go into our bodies…
And yet… root beer is SO good!
hey you guys!! i really enjoyed your concert at First Baptist Jackson! That twas my third show of yalls and yall never will get bad.. i hope all goes well for the rest of the tour.. please come back to Jackson!! God Bless!!
Natalie Garey
i eat pop rocks, but i would not eat dr. pepper pop rocks. you know why? they look like gravel.
Dr Pepper Pop Rocks! My gosh…I’ve been missing out. Bring some back to Texas with you, please!!!
I love pop rocks! and Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda! woo hoo! and the two together… now that’s just plain awesome!
Get to Pittsburgh again soon!! Great show with the youth a couple weeks ago!!
I am reading this with tears in my eyes. Poor MIKEY!! Oh the humanity… But thank God you are safe. Thank God for pennys that can turn invisable! Or… Maybe that’s not such a good thing… Hours you say?…. Man…
-Dave
I love pop rocks…they’re awesome…and I love dr. pepper….that’s awesome too!!!
the pop rock thing is hilarious.
and I always wondered what other musicians do during the other bands… now I know. haha.
Your xanga is great. I saw you in Salem, OR beginning of October. Great concert!
dr pepper pop rocks look disgusting….how could he eat it. now i want one of those “find it” cylinders it sounds fun!!!
Han
man.. i wish i coulda had a day off from classes!
oh, and rock stars are what get me through my long drives home from college.
Nice.
who knows if you really read these replies…there are usually like a thousand of them…but i must speak my mind! am I missing something? I keep checking the tour dates to see if you are coming to ohio…but much to my dismay…you are not
this makes me sad…..what will it take???
hello david crowder i work at chick fil a
hey what’s up r u the real David Crowder or r u a poser.
funny stuff…….thanks for the laughs—–troy the t-shirt guy’s wife
man! you have so many great oppurtunities to go thrifting…you are on tour, meaning, you are in a different town almost every night, and their are so many thrift and antique stores in one town alone. gosh. in some ways, you are so lucky. i wish i could go thrifting in columbia south carolina.
great entry.
Sounds like you guys had a great day!! I love chick-fil-a!! Pop rocks. I haven’t had those in sooooooo long. Those Dr. Pepper ones with Dr. Pepper on them look gross. Especially in Jason’s mouth. I totally want a “find it” now. Those look/sound fun!!
6 DAYS UNTIL YOU GUYS COME TO DC!!!!!!!!!! Can’t Wait!!!!!!!!!
God Bless, Sara
Quick question, is his name Jason, or is it Taylor?
sounds like you guys are having fuuuunn!
“sometimes its like finding a penny in a tube full of dense plastic beads” Its a new saying
i am having so much fun seeing whta its like in the life of a band on tour..cant wait to see you guys next week in gville….ps i wonder if yall really read all your comments…you get a zillion, im lucky if i get 2..anyways God bless you guys and Shane and Shane and Robbie Seay and his guys…
hilarious.
that was one of the most amusing things i think i’ve ever read. thumbs up! y’all are awesome!!!
lol i enjoyed reading this entry. come visit southeastern virginia since yall are touring up north in DC! that’s the least you could do! haha just kidding. hope the tour is going well.
I thought you spit in the plate, but it would’ve been okay, cause your David Crowder, and you can do stuff like that. You guys are rock awesome crazy coolness!!!
nice jacket.
wow. that’s a whole new look at pop rocks… i never knew they looked that gross in my mouth.
i think you may be onto something with them being evil. but how can something dr. pepper related be evil? dr. pepper is the greatest drink on earth (usually).
cool game.
tear away the grese and fat?
can’t wait to see you all in st paul, thanks for adding another show, my mom will love seeing you guys. she listens to the new album tons over and over and over.
love and kind words
andrew
you guys are so funny…..
Dave, its josh from the t-shirt gang. The plastic plates you have placed the pop rocks on are amazing. Who would of thought about taking two plates with opposite patterns so that way you can smash one on top of the other and able to cook stuff inside of it. No mess in the microwave, I knew you were a smart man.
I love pop rocks! I haven’t had those forever! Too bad that you don’t like them. )=
I like the new jacket.Very spiffy!
Have an awesome day! God bless ya~
Jenny C=
you should post some about your antics with s^2 and rsb… that is, if you have any
never heard of “find it”
My, the asininity of some these comments.
Mr. David Crowder sir, I have a request to make of you. Please go to my xanga site and join my protest and help me save the world. I would be so grateful. I hope you read this.
nice jacket.. haha.. and chikfila is freakin awesome!.. :c)
ha ha! awesome…
I’m worried that you guys aren’t getting enough rest in your recreational time off.
The constant experimentation with pop rocks, the never-ending dining and forced eating under the watchful eye of The Squirrel, they tortuous “find the penny” quests…how do you guys keep up that kind of pace and still be able to perform?
Really guys – take a break will ya?
Musta been that Rockstar drink!
I want that tenderloin!
L,r
Man, every day I leave a comment on your site! I even tell you stories of my turtles and a cat named Fifileo what do you do….. you ignore me like i’m no one……well i want you to know that i’m important! People know me! I am well known and you will respect that!!!!!! Jerk (JK)
You can’t hate on Pop Rocks man, granit that your pictures are just flat out nasty and make my stomake ache with a somewhat nauscious (however you spell that word) pain. They still taste really really rediculusly ( 0 for 2 ) good. And I love them like a brother and if you want to know what i mean by that, then you will need to read my Xanga! that’s right imagine that a Rock Star (with an awesome…..well…….i guess “Crowder”) needs to read my Xanga!
I don’t know where your fascination of squirells came from but I too have always loved and yet feared these fury little critters.
Hey man you need to check your Guest Book or whatever Solley does on your web site cauze I sent you guys a picture of the United Postal Service saving the world from the Federal Exicutioners.
I’m trying to space out my comment so that mabye you will take the time to read it and say something on my website man cauze I love you man. And I wan’t you to be in on my Flux Capacitor research…..together we can travel to 1985 and save the world.
-Nathan
Yall always make me laugh
so at first i didn’t believe it was really YOU the crowder posting, but after reading many of your eccentric and impossible-to-make-up stories, i believe.
i also wonder, do you read all your comments and return them? you should hewn your epropping skills, they are important. like when someone tells you a really good story, you can say “mad Eprops yo”
i wonder what it feels like to be epropped by david crowder! hahahahaha
see you soon.
oh yeah, mind over matter, (in response to the d.p. pop rocks)
in my glory days, my brother and i used to pour the pop rocks into 20 oz bottled bevs and shake. shake and bake til we made “pop rockets”
you guys are hilarious….i wanna shop where crowder shops! haha
that rockstar drink is pretty good. i don’t know if it really works as an “energy booster” but i still enjoyed it. they were handing them out on my college campus.
athens on monday! i cant wait to see u guys??
do u guys have tuesday off? if so, 7:22…i know u know what i’m talking about. =D
That looks like a 2001 penny…
I love Chic-fil-a and Dr. Pepper. Deep fried oreos are awesome. I can not stand pop rocks. They worry me. Your hair still look…. um… .like David Crowder hair. I guess that super power is still very much super.
my eprops soooooo just broke the 100 eprop barrier…i know u impressed..but catch your breathe…u might need it to….ummm…why would u need it??? to sing..yeah
haha those are disgusting yet great pictures! i like how u are updating a lot :O) keep it up!
Hey man awesome pics. Love the random squirrell. Just curious. When will you be leading worship again in Waco? Could you possibly let me know. Thanks.
HilLARious……Hil-LAR-ious is funnier then Hilarious ….Lar as in ‘LAR’K …Hil-LAR-ious.
Random Fact: Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest presidents, started out in life as an absent-minded frontier lawyer. How did he nudge his memory? He stuck letters, court notes, contracts, and even his checkbook in his trademark top hat. When he took off his hat, it was all there!
So in Conclusion: Abe played this ‘find it’ game with the stuff in his hat.
I bet he didn’t know someday his face would appear on a coin and people would use it in a ‘find things in beads’ game.
Who Knew?
God Bless -Kel

why are we doing this?? As christians aren’t we supposed to reach lost souls?? It seems some recent conversations that I have had with some “fellow” christians have just gone south. They just dont get it. Everything we do in life as christians should always reflect christs love. It is so easy for me to just say yeah love people be of God. WHAT IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!! who can honsetly throw the first stone? We need to get this right and love God with it all mind, body and spirit. just a late night thought…………jake
Columbia, S. Carolina??? Heh – that’s close to Ft. Jackson… the weather sucks durin’ the summer there.
um…you are hilarious, your wit and humor astound me to no end…that’s all.
just what i wanted to see: inside solley’s mouth!
i love these updates. =)
hahaha. hilarious.
naw man… rockstar energy drinks are from the pit… it is Monster drinks you should all shoot for whenever you can…. i’m afraid Marty Stuart doesn’t know what he’s spittin about… red bull… psh… red bull…. David… Monster drinks…. go for the Monster drinks….
pop rocks eh…. i remember them things…. after downing a pack of them all at once one time…. the flavor i think was blue raspberry…. it left my tongue embarresingly blue (duh) and tiny scrapes where these bombs latched onto my taste buds and the roof of my mouth…. canker sore city was under full development then…. so yea… pop rocks… nostaglic… but should only be for nostalgic purposes….
DAVID… WATCH OUT FOR THAT SQUIRREL….
ew that was very disturbing
you guys should swing through atlanta more often and stick around a bit longer.
concert monday!!!!
hahahahahahh
I like your jacket David…and like you, I have what I believe is a healthy fear of pop rocks…they really shouldn’t be consumed.
I miss pop rocks. haha
nice penny. But now you don’t have a “find it” cylinder! Or are you going to try to refill it and stop up the hole?
Or just get something else for entertainment.
funny
sweet story..
i am curious as to whether you actually read any of these… consider this a test! and the tulsa show was a blessing by the by. hallelujah for the keytar
kool!!! its david crowder. sorry, my friend found ur site & i had 2 see if he was serious. =)
Is that a squirrel I see at your place at the table David? LOL I was at your release night concert for Iluminate when you told that story. Still know it in fact.
Dave

Er … just kidding.
Heh, your pics look just like the ones I took when I was in Tenerife, Spain (Canary Islands, off the coast of Africa) w/ Sam Houston State University XA on a mission trip in May. (I took pics of people’s faces next to Starbucks coffee cups on tables in the London Gatwick Airport. Heh)
God bless! Keep stayin safe while on tour.

wow- i am amazed at all the comments you get in a day… i’m kinda jealous too. but hey- i’m no Dave Crowder!
My stomach exploded from giggling so hard.
(great show in houston, by the way)
I look at that pile of mess on that plate and think that actually sits in someones stomach. NASTY!
i am so never putting something that looks like that in my mouth
What is with that dang squirrel? I saw it at the hoedown. It talked.
Dude! ROCK ON!! I work at Chick-fil-A!!
after stumbling across your xanga through a friend’s and reading a whole lot about things that have no significance at all i have officially declared that you are my favorite. your music is awe-inspiring because it is written about a God that is just that. you yourself are not a jerk face like lots of people that are in your “rock star” position. thank you for keeping me listening to christian music.
oh man you guys are awesome. Hilarious. Getting frustrated wit hthe “find it” right before going on stage….. Makes me think i’d fit right in.
that green thing in your mouth is so nasty.
i soooo wanted to go to ur concert this monday..

praise God, praise God. but hey, i REALLLLY wanted to go. REALLY..
o man, o man ~

By the way…I heart your new CD!! It’s been in my car stereo for a long time…and yes, I only have a single-disc cd player…
good job on the Pop Rocks, very enjoyable, at least it seems so. Next time, try holding alka seltzer in your mouth… just TRY holding your mouth shut. That, my friend, is insane! That or making waterballoons and sticking alka seltzer in it… hmmm…..
keep rockin and rollin
I don’t know you, but God loves you!! sorry to hear about mikey….
Wow, I love your pics on here Mr Crowder. You guys have some crazy mishaps; Chick fil A is particularly amazing.
for some reason I have the urge to ask if you know a Stacy Sapaugh from Morres Lane….
dude do really wear glasses?and like do even respond to peoples comments oy are you to busy being a celebrity?
your the type of fucking shitheads who ruined christianity for me…
if i was a good friend.. i would say “gosh.. don’t u have anything better to do with your time?”
but i’m not. so i’ll just stick with.. “pop rocks are awesome, dave!”
wow, your tour journal is so much more interesting than any other band’s… lol…
i love you and your band so much

MMM You got to love those energy drinks. I made the mistake once of drinking those things. Me and my couson each got 3 at my Grandpa’s funeral.I woke up that night thinking I was having a heart attack, My heart was racing a 100 miles an hour and I was shaking. I woke up my mom and was like you better pray for me right now I think I’m going to die LOL Yeah, so thats my story about energy drinks.
if you read this this is the guy related to lynette ogel i LOVED your concert it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are my friend’s hero
I love your music. ttyl david
david lewis
So the chances of you ever reading this.. pretty small.
But look.
You know that moment when God just clicks for you?
Like all that stuff you’ve digested over the course of time finally make sense?
The floodgates open, I guess?
God clicked for me today. I finally get it.
Your CD helped with that.
Thanks, dude.
Your going to be FAT :]
Heard about what happened to the pastor of UBC. That’s so sad. You and the band and all the people who knew him are in my prayers!!
God Bless, Sara
Hello Crowder Band, I was at your concert in FL tonight and I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and the family of your friend. Like you said, he is the lucky one today. God Bless
Praying for you guys.
I’m praying your family and his family will be saturated in God’s peace tonight. So sorry for your loss.
praying for you.
praying.
Dude what an amazing man of God! Last summer I was helping a friend of mine move home from school and we went to Common Grounds to have some coffee. I pulled out my copy of ”Don’t Waste Your Life,” and began reading. A guy sitting across the room saw it and put aside his notebook and laptop and started talking to me about the book. This started about a half hour conversation that ran the gammit of subjects. Through talking he found out that I wasn’t from Waco and that I had gone by ubc and bought a cd in hopes of getting a glimpse of the Crowdster. It was totally refreshing to have a God filled and centered conversation with a complete stranger. He had to leave so we closed our conversation shook hands and said goodbye. After the man had left my buddy came over and said “dude don’t you know who that was?” I said “yeah his names Kyle. I think he goes to Baylor, but I’m not sure.” My buddy says “Man that was Kyle Lake, he’s the pastor at ubc!” I was taken back. I had told this pastor that I had been to his church and instead of taking the oppratunity to talk about it and tell me who he was, he continued with our conversation. Just not used to that kind of behavior. A man’s wittness lives on long after he has gone to be with his greatest love. I can only hope my wittness will be remembored like Kyle’s. My prayers are with you, your family and his.
Alive in Christ,
Mabes
my heart goes out to the loss you all recieved this morning BUT take joy in knowing that he is dancing with our savior up in heaven! praise God!!! ~rach
Yes…WHY do we tinker so obsessively with death and destruction when it comes to Dr. Pepper Pop Rocks and Diet Dr. Pepper. Deeeeep thoughts…
I was at the concert in Orlando last night. AMAZING. Thank you so much. I was very reluctant to go because I had to go by myself. But, it was a blast. I had a blast for real. You all are such a blessing. Loved the Mario Bros. interlude…lol. Glad you found the penny.
I love Dr. Pepper… You guys just ROCK!! Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Also…my condolences and prayers for UBC and the Lake family. Keep praising God. I’m sure your pastor is as well…
we’re praying for you guys & your church family. we love you.
David, I just wanted to let you know that I’m praying for Kyle’s family as well as for you guys in this time of mourning.
-1 John 5:11-13
wow, what a difficult time for you and your church… i’m praying for you guys… (by the way, your music really blesses me.)
so sorry to hear about Pastor Lake. peace and joy at this time for you all.
“we ain’t giving up on hope rising”
you said it best yourself man. sorry about kyle. praying for you guys.
I CAN’T FIND THE PENNY EITHER!
David Crowder:
I love your music. You are a stud. I’m subscribing to your site. I’m really stoked to hear that you’re touring with Third Day this fall. I’ll be at your show if you guys come anywhere in Arkansas. God bless…
-Lance-
those pop rock look kind of nasty. i usually like pop rocks.
so sorry to hear about your friend/pastor – my prayers are with you and the band
I heard about your pastor…. My husband has always enjoyed listening to him…. his family will be in our prayers…. I wonder if they need anything. I heard he left a wife and three children and was only 33…. only God knows………
If this is Crowder, This is awesome, for a christian worship artist to do something like this. But just to intordice a firmer faith in this, Tell me what happened in Greencastle last fall.
HEY!
holy cow
god is great! and crowdster is great!
best xanga post ever.
yall are awesome. I was at the Jackson concert, and we were screamin it was my birthday b/c it was. O well, i really enjoyed the concert.
i am a master at finding the penny, it is just a shame that you had to use a drill to prove it was there. here’s the trick….the penny will usually be at the center, so just spin the cylinder back and forth with your hand in the center, spreading the things to the sides, and soon you will see a copper sparkle. let me know if it works for ya…
Update, update…we want an update!
Update, update…we want an update!
(repeat ad infinitum)
L,r
hey, i just want you to know that i am very sorry about kyle. i know yall were great friends and the ones who basically started the church. yall are both in my prayers
hey you’re probably sick of people you don’t know posting comments on your site but i’m gonna do it anyway just because you’re that awesome “open skies” is like one of my favorite songs ever and i liked the “pop-rock chronicles”
love ‘em like Jesus,
patrick
praying for you…
I am with you in your grief.
david crowder. you are the man (love the new cd.) ((by the by))

may his grace cover you and your community as you grieve and grapple with the loss
may He bring beauty out of the ashes

i mean lets face it..you have about a million comments here…i’m not sure you will actually read this…MAYBE I SHOULD TYPE IN ALL CATS..ER I MEAN CAPS TO CATCH YOUR EYE….(don’t be alarmed…i’m not yelling. i’m cool like a fall breeze)
SO I’M A MYSPACE FREIND AND A XANGA FRIEND…I LOVE READING Y’ALL…I LOVE IT THAT SOMETIMES THE POSTS ARE JUST RANDOMNESS…COUPLE THINGS I LOOOOVED FROM THIS ONE: THE SQUIRREL THAT IS CLEARLY PART OF THE DINING PARTY…AND THE MESS WITH THE COKE AND THE POP-ROCKS IS SICK…AND I’VE CONSUMED THE ROCK STAR ENERGY DRINK…GOT IT AT BLOCKBUSTER…BLECH…
i’m done talking big…hope y’all are having a fantactical day…
Hey, just wandering – don’t you or didn’t you lead worship @ University Baptist in Waco? I’m sorry to hear about pastor Kyle. I got to meet him a couple of times. Hope you guys are doing okay.
In His Serivce,
TG

I LOVE rockstar energy drinks! Too bad I always pay for mine.
I hope you and your church continue to find joy in the Lord. You are all in my prayers.

I WANT SOME CHIC-FIL-A!!!!!
some truly disgusting pix.
sweet stuff. hey I heard about your pastor… praying for ya’ll
Amazing Jacket! Also digging the ceramic squirrel
Mr. Crowder, I love the new album. But not as much as I love Jesus, but you would probably say the same. If you remember at your Denver gig there was one particular audience member that liked rock operas and you responded, “You’re sick!” and then you went on a little rant about Styx. Well sir, that was me, thank you for talking to me while you were on stage, and yes I totally love You Are My Joy off the new record. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you soon! God Bless!
Sorry to hear about the death of your close friend! You are in my prayers!
Ok, so I made a spur-of-the-moment purchase of one of those Rock Star drinks a few days ago. I’m saving it up for when I really need it, because I’m taking your word for it that it works.
Also thought I should let you know that you have officially been “Gimped.” It involves a computer program, a lot of precision, and a lot of runs-over with the mouse. Be proud.
Wow, I just saw about your pastor. I’m so sorry. I’ll be praying for your church…
So sorry about your pastor…. Your church is in our prayers!
Hope you had funn in MS this past week.. Too bad I couldn’t be there.. my friend met you tho.. whoo hoo!
“ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE?” Dude, too soon for that one.
Hey, Saw you guys in Jackson. It was really fun. God Bless You.
I am so sorry about your loss. You are in our prayers.
Hey!!!
Ya’ll are sooooo funny! lol

I’m praying for you and your church…it’s just unreal…I’m sorry for your loss.
David Crowder whats up man? My name is Kirk.Wow this is crazy that you have a xanga…i think its cool that you take time out of your schedule and stuff to talk to us on here. I met you over the summer at a retreat at Kentucky Christian College called Summer In The Son. I dont know if you remember playing there but it was out of this world. Yalls entire band was amazing. It brought so much joy to my heart. Now that i have 5 cds of yours i honestly cannot go through a day without listening to at least one of them. i have to worship the Lord each day and yalls music just sets a fire in me like no other. I really apreciate all of you and how much you love Jesus. Keep up the good work and ill be praying for your band
P.S. My birthday was October 28th…i turned 18…yea 18…haha i bought a pack of cigaretts and gave them to a lady at work…i dont know why but i just wanted to buy them because i could.
KIRK
I’M ENGAGED!!!
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
OMGSH. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!
i saw you at JAMA!!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME JAWSOME YO!!!!!!!!!
hope everything’s going good. =)
my grandma has a find it. our family has gotten very competitive with it but no one has found the penny.
I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I believe that the penny says 2005 or even 6. It couldn’t say 6, because of course it isn’t 2006 yet, but there is no 4 on there my friend. I believe that this farce destroys your whole ministry and you should repent. There was no penny, you are just an agent of the “Find It” corporation and that was just some random picture of a penny found on the net. I am sorry to have busted your bubble like that, but it is not in my nature to allow such hypocrisy. I do know that it is in man’s nature to do evil, and I would be willing to put in a good word for you at the DMV. Have a good day, and if you wish to express a rebutle I will be open to listen, but remeber, when you are talking to me, you are in the no spin zone. Ultimately, my point is this, you are being paid off by the “Find It” people. They wish to sell more of these toture devises, if you will, and they put no penny in them so that people will spend hours mindlessly gazing and turning to catch a meer glimer of that beautiful copper penny, and you have aided in this grizzly quest for the almighty dollar, or in your case penny. I hope that what they pay you is good, because the youth of our nation is now subject to this horrible device. Once again, and finally, I urge you to change your ways, because no amount of money that the “Find It” corporation could pay you will be worth the havoc that will be caused by the ramifications of these decisions you have made. Believe me, I know, I have surcome to the evils of corporate America before. I once owned the number 10 corporation on the fortune 500 list. I gave it away. I can not name it because of contractual obligations, but this place was spiritually sucking me dry. I had to just give it away. I didn’t even keep my stock options. I am now a much happy, but poorer man. These “Find It” people just want to use your celebrity status to sell there “Find It” toys. Once that craze is over, they will alienate your image to sell there precious “Find It 2099″ models. It is a never ending spiral towards doom for you, but it isn’t too late. Just remeber that your little penny fiasco brought all of this on. It did not say 2004, but it was somewhat shinny.
Good Day To All,
Matt
P.S. You will still recieve 2 full eProps regardless of your hypocrisy. Jesus loves you.
okoeeoueoueoe
david crowder? really????
u r amazing
oh i hope it doesn’t kill you like mikey
at least you can spend true bliss with jesus
forever!
Party like a rockstar. We had that on a trip once…it tasted similar to urination. devastation. blech! …
Rockstar is gross…I wasted $1.50 of my hard earned retail monies to try the stuff…and I want my money back…not from you necessarily, I just want it back from someone…maybe the tuxedo guys?
Wow. That sent me into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. God bless you guys.
you cheated by drilling the hole. Hey you guys rocked in Tulsa!!!
whoa, cool – your new jacket has the zipper thingy on the LEFT side! most trendy jackets like yours tend to have the zipper on the right, which i noticed scratches up the back of my guitar. hopefully that means less scratchage on the crowdsters for you. definite props for the cool jacket =)
my best friend and i used to do the pop rock thing at the theater all the time in junior high. (that was back when they first came out!) one of us would sneak down front and pour out 5 or 6 into a pile then sneak back to our seats. after 10 minutes or so, we’d turn our drinks over and wait. keep in mind you had to aim good with the drinks. we never failed to bring in theater staff! thanks for the laugh and memories.
Bloody awesome, that’s all I can say. Bloody awesome.
I love your music..now I love you
you guys are great… you make me laugh so much… i know that i’m kinda late in writing this…. hehe but thats ok… there was still a smily on my face when i read this!!
I have to say I agree about Pop Rocks. I tend to avoid anything that jumps in my mouth.
