turkey on tuesday

have you ever tried to buy a turkey in the middle of summer? its almost impossible. we have plans to feed a bunch of people at my house on tuesday but we cant find a turkey. i guess they are only meant to be eaten on thanksgiving. we asked the guy at the grocery about buying a turkey and he thought we had lost our minds. is it that strange of an idea, to eat turkey on a tuesday in august?


on the house deal.. we should here something by noon today. who knows?? i will update you guys as soon as i know something. thanks for all of your prayers.

black and white

in the south you dont see many churches that have blacks and whites worshiping together. i was at a church tonight that was half black and half white. it was cool to see. God saved several people at this show. i felt that everything was fresh tonight. it really felt good to do ministry today.

pray for pat!!

keep praying

as you know, we have that investment thing that we have been dealing with. here is a quick update.
we were supposed to finalize everything by thursday. well that didnt happen. we are trying to get an extension. we did our part, they didnt do their part. frustrating, i know. there is one person who will decide if we get the extension. if they say yes then our mess disappears. if they say no, our mess get real ugly, and stays ugly for a long time. pray for that person, not sure their name. lets call them pat. pray for "pat" to do exactly what God wants of them.

we have a show in greenwood south carolina saturday night. also i speak at a church sunday morning. pray for Gods power. we want to see people saved

peace

i have the peace of God. i guess it is because of your prayers. i just have peace. my trial could end today with no problems. or it could get ugly. i am waiting for whatever to happen. i should know something anytime today if this thing is going to go away. it doesnt matter that much to me what happens. i have peace

lets see what happens

today is the day for God to do something. we need a miracle today or else. it will be cool to see how God chooses to work this one out. it could be the exact way i am praying for, or it could be a surprise. either way, i am gonna trust God. please be in prayer today as we talk this thing out. we need wisdom today. and we need people to act today. keep us in prayer all day. as soon as i get some news i will let ya know..

lets watch God work

no cavities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am a little bit excited about my little trip to the dentist today. i have never had a cavity and i never want one. i am scared to death of the dentist. i have good reason. the last time i went to the dentist i had a rough time. today i thought i would get the bad news but i was fine. i am so happy about this. can you tell?

God answered my prayers

stress relief (brock style)

yesterday i went dirt bike riding with some pro racers out at a track that was just built for "team faith". we had a blast tearing it up for a while. this place was really awesome if you like dirt bikes. i was able to race some of the guys out there. i even got some holeshots. oh yeah. it felt good to out run a pro. anyway, it was the best time. i like to enjoy myself on my dirt bike. i have found that it is the absolute best way for me to get some much needed stress relief.

if anyone is gonna be in tenessee with their bike and looking for a place to ride, lemme know, and we will go

this is the week

i need a miracle to happen this week. i know you might be tired of me blogging about this but i cant help it. i need to remind everyone to pray hard this week for God to bring a miracle. pray that all the paperwork is completed by thursday. my mess will hopefully be over soon. this is the week

im a liar and hypocrite

you have heard me say that i only eat 1 dessert per week. well this week aunys parents were here. so we decided to eat at my favorite chocolate place in the world(the cocoa tree), cookies, and chocolate fondue, and truffles, and chocolate covered marshmallows, and peach cobbler. then back to the cocoa tree for chocolate fondue and truffles and the chocolate bomb. then leftover cobbler and cookies again. then, back to the cocoa tree for truffles and tiramisu and, and, and, cheesecake.

now i repent

peach cobbler

this week we had aunys parents here for their vacation. we had a great time looking at waterfalls and hanging out. to celebrate the occasion auny made peach cobbler. if you havent had aunys peach cobbler then you havent truly lived. you are all invited to come visit our house and eat cobbler. please call before you come, and i will get auny to make more cobbler for me.. i mean for you.. for us

ok my people

God has answered some prayers. we need to keep praying. my situation has 7 days of time left. we need to get all the papers signed and delivered within 7 days. this will not be easy. if it all gets done, my big mess goes away. if not, i will be in trouble for a very long time. if this post isnt making sense then read last weeks post for july 14. this is the update on that. i have spent countless hours working on this problem. we are in the last days. lets stand together in prayer and watch God work. i know you have been praying, keep on. more to come soon. thanks friends

yard sale???

i know that there is a purpose for grass but i dont like it. i have to mow it. i have 4 acres, plenty of grass. here is a story to make you hate grass.

recently someone borrowed my lawn mower. i had no problem with that. its been 6 weeks and now its time to cut the grass right? well i cant get in touch with my friend that has my lawn mower. no big deal, but my grass still needs to be cut. so i decide to hire a neighbor. he didnt do it. his lawn mower broke. no problem, i called a lawn service. they didnt show up. ok im getting nervous. i call another service. they didnt show up. ok whats going on. is it me? is there a reason nobody wants to cut my grass? am i on some blacklist that i wasnt aware of? i get someone else out to my place to cut it. they say "we will come back later and cut it". i said "yeah right". they came back 2 hours later and cut it. the 5th person involved finally cut my grass. what an ordeal. its not supposed to be that complicated. i called someone today to come and kill my grass.. someone suggested i have a yard sale. never knew why someone would sale their yard. now i get it. wait...

shows are great

it seems that when my ministry is at its best, seeing God really work, thats when my personal life is at its worst. i am not going to complain though. thats a sacrifice i am willing to make. serving God is not easy. i get my butt kicked sometimes but its worth it. i have gotten emails from people delivered from drugs and self mutilation this month. God is working. lets keep the focus. lets celebrate the victories. who cares what else is going on, people are getting saved.


thanks beth for the encouragement

nice day for a white wedding

who gets married on a monday? if you work for a band who tours every weekend then it makes sense. monday night i went to a wedding for a guy who worked for audio adrenaline. he is from canada and the bride is from australia. the most random part was the father of the bride standing on stage holding the cell phone. he was displaying it as if he was presenting it at an awards show. i finally figured out what was going on. her family couldnt make it to the wedding so they listened in on the cell phone. i thought that was sweet.

i didnt have the heart to tell him that the phone wasnt on. he must have dropped the call about the time the bride walked down the...

myspace.com/brockgill

i feel like everyone already knows about myspace but...
myspace is the newest craze in the online world. it is a networking community where people can have their personal little websites and join together with friends. for many it is "the real world". but for some people it is just another internet fad. over 60 million people have a myspace page. teenagers are not even giving out cell phone numbers or email addresses anymore. instead they just give their myspace address. if you are unaware of this new phenom called myspace then ask your kids what they have been doing all day. chances are they have been hanging out with their friends on myspace.

saturday

saturday was a typical saturday, but not for me. it was like other people's saturdays. we slept in. we did some house work. i worked on a broken shower. went to home depot. killed wasps. went to dinner with friends and watched some tv. that is not the usual weekend for us. it is rare to be home on a saturday but i like it.

keep praying for us. i will give updates as they develop. thank you for your prayers

if you are my friend, read this and pray

over 3 years ago i was asked to be a part of a friend's home building business. he would build me a home and try to sell it. in the mean time he would manage the house and rent it out. a few months back i found out that the mortgaga payments werent being made. by the time i knew about it i was deep in the hole. i havent been able to get any of the money from him to catch up on this mortgage. to make a long story short i am about to face foreclosure. if this happens i will be responsible for up to $100,000. maybe even more. i am about to face total financial devastation unless God provides a miracle. i have talked to lawyers and mortgage people and everyone i know about this and we havent found a solution. the details are very complicated. the truth is, i got taken advantage of, and i am possibly going to lose everything over it. i have had tough times before. 7 years ago i lost everything due to theft but God brought us through. i have seen God work in the past. sometimes it is before the mess at the last minute and sometimes i have to walk through it holding his hand. friends, i am facing the most difficult time ever in my life and ministry. i need a miracle. please pray for us as we deal with this mess. this issue has consumed me. it is wasting many many hours of time. it is costing me thousands of dollars. it is causing lots of stress. auny and i are doing ok through it all so far. God has really strengthened us. i wish this would all go away tonight but i know its not always that easy. i do know this, it is an attack from satan to distract me and to ruin my family and ministry. therefore i will choose to be faithful no matter what happens.

arthur blessitt

when jesus said take up your cross daily, arthur blessitt took it literally. God gave him a special calling, as weird as it may sound, to take a cross and walk around the world. he holds the record for the longest walk. he has walked thru every country. the amazing thing is that he has lead thousands of people to jesus around the world. all he does is walk. people ask him why he has a cross and he tells them. i am amazed at this mans testimony. he has been beat up and left for dead, robbed, arrested, and abused but he keeps going. today i was in downtown denver and i saw author walking. i immediately hung up the phone and rushed over to meet him. he wanted to pray for me so of course i let him. i had always heard that he a notch in his shoulder from carrying that cross so when we prayed i put my hand on his shoulder and felt where that cross has laid for decades. i dont believe that everyone should go out and carry a wooden cross around with them but for arthur blessitt it was a calling by God. today i was blessed to meet someone i have respected for 12 years. he is one of the real rebels for jesus, a powerful soul winner, and inspiration. today i was blessed by arthur blessitt

2

today i had 2 shows back to back. i did 2 new tricks. i bought 2 new shoe strings. we ordered 2 salads for lunch. and im 2 tired to talk about it.

i choose faith

we are to walk by faith if we are to please God. sometimes we like walking in the natural because it is easy or whatever. we cant just live our way and then live by faith when bad things happen. we have to always live by faith. today, and everyday, i choose to live by faith. to be honest, thats all ive got

remember that miracle

a week ago i told you guys that i needed a miracle to happen soon or i would have a real mess on my hands. well, keep praying for that miracle. the first part of the miracle happened but i still need God to act soon on some big things. all of you that read this can join me in praying for this. i will be honest, i need you guys. this one is serious. sorry to be so vague, i will try to explain sometime soon

comedy central

i made the mistake of trying to watch comedy central saturday night. i guess there is a new rule for tv. apparently you can use the f word as much as you want on saturday nights.. i am so confused. i thought that bad language has to be sensored. they didnt bleep anything. it was bad, and it was regular tv. does anyone know about this? i dont recomend comedy central, yuk. very disapointed

back home

we just drove for about 11 hours to get back home from superwow camps. we had such a great time there for those 3 weeks. we were so ready to be back home. we are soo tired. we could sleep for a week. we are home for 2 days then we go to colorado. we are not strangers to long drives and staying gone for weeks at a time. no matter how long we are gone it always feels good to be back home, even if its a short time.

please keep praying for us. things are happening but we still need a miracle to happen quick. details soon

new tricks

my new tricks went really well. i am so excited. months of thought and preparation, and hours of practice paid off. over the next year i will introduce an entirely new show. i am going to continue to polish it up real nice and then show the world. maybe i will sneak out some video clips of some of the new stuff on the brockstars page soon? keep an eye open for details about this new show, coming soon

fireworks drama

after the show we went outside for a big fireworks show. we were too close, no doubt about it. one person got hurt on the foot and jessica the intern got hit in the face by debris. debris was on fire when it hit her. dont worry she is fine. but it will leave a mark. we got a chance to get in the back of an ambulance and get some treatment for her. most people from the show saw me in the ambulance and thought i was hurt. so this morning at the program i walked out on stage with my entire head and face wrapped up in bandages. it was funny because people thought i was really hurt. later i returned to the stage looking normal. everyone realized it was a joke. the end

fireworks

i like fireworks.

final week begins

we have bebun our final wek at superwow camp in georgia. the crowd is much smaller than weeks past but im sure it will be good. we had a tough start tonight due to some tech problems but nothing to freak out about. i only care about one thing right now, doing powerful ministry that will make a difference in peoples lives forever. pray for us as we struggle to eliminate all of the distraction from our life and focus on doing ministry.

thanks

i get hundreds of emails each week and i am blown away with all of the encouraging things i have heard. it feels good to know that my ministry is being used to really change lives. from all of the comments on this blog to the emails and comments on myspace, i read them all. i dont get a chance to respond to all but i am hearing you. thanks for the support and the prayers as we endure. to all my fans, friends, and family, i mean this, thanks

here we go again

i have experienced tough times before in my life and ministry. from having my trailer stolen and losing all of my gear($20,000), and my truck burning and losing gear and belongings, and another trailer stolen, and more theft. the list keeps going. i have seen the trials of life. it could always be worse. i thank God for what i have had to go through. it has made me stronger and more wise. i know that God is in control, even when it doesnt seem like it. he always takes care of us. i will hang on and see what happens this time. God has brought me through hell before and he will do it again. here we go again
