Ahoy! It's the future.

There's a lot ahead of us right now. It seems like '08 has been quite a slow year for us. Rightfully so, though. There have been all sorts of great things that have required broken to slow down a bit.

That being said, there's some sweet stuff on deck for broken, and the individual members.

First, individually:

Jon is in the process of making another solo project. It's going to be a sweet acoustic set of newbies and oldies. Keep watching for updates on that one. You may even find tid bits of Joey's vocals and mandolin in that mix!

Joey is writing like a champ lately. Inspiration has hit him in the face like a bully in the locker room. Some possibilities on deck for him in recording with former Allman Brother, Jack Pearson, on his new gospel project.

Whit's found a new life at a new location - she bought her first house! It's beautiful, y'all! Broken has held rehearsals there on a couple occasions and it looks just like a place Whit would build and decorate.

Karen began a new job in Nashville at a hospital. It's going great! She's made all kinds of new friends who've introduced her to Stephenie Meyer books. Any Cullen fans out there?!

Jon is low. He's always been low. He'll always be low. You can check him out this Christmas as the lead in Huntsville's production of Miracle on 34th Street. He's got quite a resume of drama roles, and you won't be disappointed if you can make it out to see this year's show.

Cara is still cranking it out at Photography School. Everytime we see more of her stuff, we totally understand why she's doing it. Her schedule is filling up, but you can probably get your date in if you book early enough.

As the year winds down, we find ourselves heading toward our final show for 2008. We'll try to get cranked back up in January or February of 2009. If you'd like to be there, we'll be at the Cedars of Lebanon State Park in Lebanon, TN. It'll be Saturday, November 1st, at 7:00 p.m. There's no cost except the gas it takes to get there.

Come help us close broken's '08 schedule with a night of worship! We can't wait to see you there!

Here are a few videos from a worship session we did at the First United Methodist Church of Decatur. It's almost a year old, but, hey, it's media!

The Holy Spirit Rained Down

Karen and I hopped in the car around 12:45 p.m. or so yesterday. We were en route to Decatur, AL, where we were going to mee Jon and the equipment around 2:30 p.m. We all caravaned to Hamilton, AL, where we had the pleasure of leading worship at Maywood Christian Camp for the second year in a row.

It was quite an experience.

When we arrived, the heat was on us like white on rice. The campers were going through mail call, so we waited in the shade so we could unload and set up the system.

Y'all, it was no sooner than the last cord was plugged in that Hurricane Crablegs hit that camp with Weather Channel force. The thunder cracked louder than any I'd ever heard, lightning downed a tree in the nearby pond, and sheets of rain were misting all over -- you guessed it -- our equipment.

We hustled to try to fix it, but I don't think it did much good. We turned the speaker boxes down on their faces and unplugged as much as we could. We loaded up as quickly as we could and parked the truck down by the cafeteria.

If we would have simply waited twenty minutes, everything would have been fine, but how could we have known that?

You see, God had other plans.

According to what we've been told, the night we come is typically a very spiritually high time. The culmination of changed lives, powerful lessons, God's naturally impressive landscape, and the Holy Spirit all press in such an urgently gentle manner on Thursdays.

The Holy Spirit Rained Down (just like we ask everytime we sing it) on us because it didn't want us in the pavilion. Instead, we were to sing an entirely off-mic' set in the cafeteria with the senior group right after five of them accepted the Lord.

We led worship for them and we could see the face Christ on our young brothers and sisters there at Maywood. The tears that flowed, the hands that raised, the eyes that closed, they were all a part of God's plan to move b r o k e n to a more intimate setting.

He is a mighty God!

Below are a few pictures from last night. Actually, the second to last one is from one of rehearsals. Not real sure how that one got in the mix, but oh well.

If anyone has any pictures of personal time in a b r o k e n led worship or with broken, please send them on so we can include them here.


You In Me



Jon is presently training for a fight with Chuck Norris--Jon will lose.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new 'site!

While we try to get up and running in catching up to the media world, we hope you enjoy the short time we have to spend here at this 'blog.

Here, you can purchase our CARA nominated debut CD, For All You've Done, and all you have to do is click a button! Fun, huh?! I think it may be more fun on our end because you've always had to go to specific bookstores or come to a Praise Concert of ours in order to get one! We'll catch up soon, I promise.

Also, check our our MySpace page. Yes, it's behind the times, but at least we have one.

Just below that link you'll find the link for the McLemore Brothers 'site. Jon, one of the members of b r o k e n, and his brother Mark are two great friends to this ministry, and we want you to have a chance to check out what they're up to.

Thanks for stopping by! Keep checking us for updates and upcoming events.
