Found this gem from Christmas. The Gabbard family!
Life should be about sharing and cultivating relationships with others. At times I struggle with putting the work into having healthy relationships outside of my own family.
See I am at times a loner, I love “downtime”, I love quiet. I sure others do as well.
This picture expresses what true friendship is in my family. See we don’t have a ton of friends, don’t feel sorry for us, thats just how we roll.
Anita lives in Longview, we now live in Dallas. Anita is such a special person to us, she is like a grandmother to my boys, a lifeline to my wife, and a encourager to me. I had the opportunity to have Anita work with me this past Summer during Project Longview. She makes me better than I really am.
Life is about sharing special moments and memories with those you love the most. Don’t miss those moments, because time flies by.
Run-Down
- The Gift was amazing! Thanks to all who made it happen.
- Now that The Gift is over, fighting off a “funk”. My personality needs something like a big event to work toward. It has been a struggle to make it through my daily to do list…
- My life is fulfilled with my family. Wonderful wife who loves to laugh with me and at me! And 2 fun loving, sweet boys!
- My son Karson turned 2 Sunday. I’m getting old quick.
- I have learned a great lesson this past weekend. I am at my best when those around me are at their best. God has placed people around with certain gifts and abilities, make room for their gift!
- Christmas music is my favorite kind of music to play. Its so tough with all the crazy chords and inversions, but I love it!
- Family is all you really got, so take care of them and let them take care of you.
- I had to introduce myself to my family again after The Gift. I worked all day and night with some great people to pull that night off. It was all worth it!

Sunday Update
I must first admit that I still feel a little “turkey hangover”, but that didn’t stop us from running after God yesterday at First at Firewheel.
I was missing a few musicians and singers because of holiday traveling, but family time is SO IMPORTANT. Let me add that you don’t know how important people are on your team until they are not there! I am so blessed to have a GREAT team at FAF!
Here’s the worship list:
- How Great Is Our God
- Jesus Messiah
- Revelation Song
- Lead Me To the Cross
- Your Name
Amy killed Lead Me To the Cross! I am so proud of her and so thankful for her and her ministry! God is growing both of us.
Pastor concluded our series “The Next Level” centered around the book he cowrote. Email me and I’ll let you know how you can get your hands on it!
This week is all Christmas prep for me, more decorations to be hung around the church, a few more rehearsals then the “big” night next Sunday night at 6:00 p.m.
If your in the DFW area, come to “The Gift, Christmas Experience”. I am believing for God to show up and do great things!
This is what I look like holding a 6 pound baby. Everything slowed down in that room, and all I could tell myself is not to squeeze or drop that precious little guy. That cheezy smile is trying to hide all those thoughts.
Both my boys were big babies, and I was so scared that I was going to break them!
God is so great, birth is so great, live is so great.
the Next Level
Great day at First At Firewheel yesterday. We started our new series “The Next Level” a book that Pastor Hanks cowrote with Scott Wilson. The first message was “The Ownership Test”. Pastor brought a great message that challenged me and inspired me. Been a while that a message has done that at the same time.
Great time of worship in both services. I am still amazing at how different each service is and how God moves differently in each one. I guess God knows what people need better than I do!
Here’s the worship list:
- You, You Are God
- Moving Forward
- Mighty To Save
- Tis So Sweet
- You Saw Me
- There’s A Lifting Of The Hands
Loved the different songs this past Sunday, and the Lindell Cooley version of There’s a Lifting of the Hands was a challenge.
With our new series that will be during the month of November, we are excited about what God is going to do. The book “The Next Level” is a great tool for relational evangelism. I expect God to do great things during this month.

Happy Birthday to Andrew!
Andrew is a friend like none other, I worked with him for a few years and we became close within the first few weeks.
This dude is so gifted, loving, creative, filled with vision and purpose. He inspires me to be better, to not settle with just good enough, but to push myself to the next level.
Happy Birthday Andrew, Hope you have a wonderful day and you know how loved and respected you are!
