Hello from Ireland
« on: March 27, 2011, 02:13:10 PM »
Hello Folks
My name is Peter but I go under the name of Leonidas on email.

I stopped playing bass for 30 years (age 58 now) and took it up again 2 years ago. I have taken a much more technical/clinical approach and am better than I was in my youth. By my standards though I am still a baby and have a lot to learn. I love funk and my greatest inspiration is James Jamerson.

I always thought of myself as an agnostic but a few weeks ago two black girls (In Northern Ireland we do not have our share of black people) agreed to audition me for a Gospel band (I am already in a non gospel band). I did not know how good gospel was for a bass player - man it rocks! Also since I met these ladies something inside me is happening. I am much less sure of my agnosticism and all of a sudden feel close to Jesus. This is a first for me and I just hope it continues. It's one of the reasons I have signed up to this site. If you can spare 15 seconds grateful if you could include a prayer for my progress in finding Jesus.
Love
Pete

Wow, thats an awesome testimony Peter!!! As far as Gospel music is concerned, as you have already found out, the Bass (and drums) typically have the most fun!! You will definitely be in my prayers, and I'm sure the majority of LGM members that read this. See you around my friend, and nice to meet you!

Welcome Peter, It is amazing the things God uses to draw you close to Him! Find yourself a good bible believing church and surround yourself with other christians cause I've learned you cant do it alone!

Welcome Peter! 

As we pray for your continued growth in the brotherhood of Christ, we also ask that you engage the ministry that is LGM.  Ask us questions about music.  Ask us questions about the faith.  Ask us questions about equipment, ask us questions about Scriptures.  Ask us questions about songs, ask us questions about moral challenges. tell us about your triumphs and accomplishments as you grow in your ministry.

Peace,

James

Thanks guys for all your nice vibes and prayers. I was standing at the foot of the stairs in my house futtering (Irish for doing something of no great importance without success) when I had this thought (I didn't hear a voice) " where have you been brother". I keep having this thought and I asked one of my christian friends if it was just corny - I do have a strong imagination. My friend said it was progress and I am not sure but I hope so. I bought a very, very second hand 5 string today. In the meantime I am going to call it "Thomas" for obvious reasons.
Love
Pete :)

Hey Leonidas.  I can only tell you what I believe.

The Spirit comes to us in many ways and not always clearly.  I recommend taking some time daily, however much you decide, to be in a quiet place and seek God through prayer and reading of His scripture.  Of course He is and always has been right there, but you have been listening to other influences.

I believe that you will develop your personal relationship and it will become more clear.

Hello Leonidas and welcome to LGM.  The Holy Spirit does speak and when one listen one will hear. Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. I prayed for your continued thirst and hunger for his word. God bless you.
