The Ground Floor Rock Show

Well,
sabbaticals generally last longer than 13 months, but in the case of the Ground Floor there doesn't seem to be any particular linear timetable. I, like many of you out there, have had a very busy year to reflect upon. For myself, I'm a year older, possibly six months wiser and adorn a new hairstyle that allows me to make hairpin turns without the accustomed possibility of a severe whiplash. People have asked me whether I missed being on the radio. My typical answer was" yes and no." I really needed a breather after thirteen plus years of radio and print ministry. It was a time of personal and spiritual growth, with some major challenges tossed in for seasoning. The Lord and I have been going through our usual wrestling matches. He normally wins, but I am learning to plead for mercy by calling out Father, Father, instead of "uncle." The fifteen extra pounds I've inherited are a combination of carrying bags of cement, toting pipe wrenches and managing drywall while trying to feed two inner children and supporting a little excess baggage from the past wherever I go. I'm sure you can relate. Have I mentioned that I am very glad to be back with a newly remodeled Ground Floor, a classic rock excursion from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I consider you who listened to this audio journey to be part of the family. An outreach, a haven, an oasis from the mundane and thoughtless drivel propelled by the major media puppeteers. For the most part, you're in our age range ... you rocked with the Partridge Family, you cried for Jimmy and his magic flute, you watched the last Pup n' Taco's disappear without a whimper, you remember seeing Stryper play at Irvine Meadows in 1987 for $15.50, you used to follow Undercover from church to club to amusement park and stay for hours after just to say hi to Ojo and the Boys, you got lost, you got found, you got married, then divorced, then angry, you got revived, maybe reborn, you got rich, you got milk, you cut down on bad cholesterol, you called seven churches your home over a one year period, you saw the light, you hungered for some good time Christian Rock n' Roll ... and you prayed, and you talked to others, who talked to the powers that be ... and the Ground Floor was resurrected, for all the right reasons ... to reach out to the thousands whose personal testimonies are intertwined with a particular sound, a concert experience, a provoking lyric, an altar call at a small church behind the orange curtain, an era, whether it be the early 70's when this Jesus movement started to promote its own sound, the sweet sound of innocence, humility and of course, ministry, apparently you've needed a live forum to revisit your roots for many years and the Ground Floor will continue its legacy by bringing those great memories back to you and your family every Saturday night ... from Love Song to Love Life. And more than just pushing a few red buttons to ignite a few moments of exhilaration, we offer you the more important mission of being there spiritually and emotionally with a very thoughtful staff of volunteers that look forward to praying for you and listening to your needs and concerns.

As a very young boy, I used to tuck my AM transistor radio into my pillow in order to be whisked away to far off lands across the dial, whether it be late night rap sessions or the latest hit from the Guess Who or 10CC.

As a slightly older man, now on the other end of the transistor radio for the last Sixteen years, I know how much you depend on making that same connection with us in order to find that constant, that equation which allows you to absorb something deeper than a few million deflected radio waves. The Ground Floor is designed for you and requires only one thing from you, the recipient. Listen with an open mind and become in intercessor for the many people listening who are looking for a breakthrough in their lives. Lift them up, turn us up and ultimately, thank God for Rock n' Roll.

Thank you for your years of support.

Call us and let us know you're with us for the long haul. We really want to have a classic reunion. Call and I'll get on with the mission at hand.
