Please do not be discouraged. I'm always glad to see you up there, especially when you sing. Brother, you have an awesome voice and talent. I wish you had the opportunity to sing more. Keep on keepin on! I will pray that you will make the right decisions for you and your family! Doug, we attend The Orchard and I must say, “YOU ROCK!!” Please do not be discouraged.

I recall from my Christian days the tension of balancing trusting and waiting on the Lord against stepping out and deciding to do something new, with all the fear of the unknown (especially around family concerns). I got excited when I read that you have enrolled in the radio night class, because I'm sure that this will lead to new opportunities for you that you can then choose to take. You will meet people who know people in the industry and you will have chances to create the life you aspire to. I find it a bit frustrating when people advise you to "follow your passion" as this does not seem particularly practical or realistic given the sometimes rather harsh reality of managing family finances. I think the path you are choosing right now is a great balance between the two and my gut feeling is that you are on the right track. If I could offer one piece of advice it would be to always keep your eyes open for new opportunities that may present themselves, and when you see them to jump on them and run with them as far as they will go. Many people miss out on so much because of fear. I'm glad you're moving things forward and I wish you all the best! Jon Hi Doug,

I loved the kids, loved what I did, but sometimes too much just got to be too much. Best of luck to you as you make your decision in all of this. I’ve been there as a music teacher, man.
