Casey, my family loves you and we have all voted for you. We're pleased to hear you sticking to your guns when it comes to the selection of songs that might otherwise compromise your commitment to Christ. The competition is tough this year yet you shine above the rest. Unlike the other guys in the competition you don't "sound like someone else"...you have your own unique sound and that's a very good thing.

Your blogs are hysterical too! I loved your daring skydiving story...what a hoot!

On Paul Baloche's new album "A Greater Song" there is a country western song titled "Thank You Lord" that is up-tempo and might be a good selection. Check it out. It might be an excellent encore piece for you to sing after you win this competition!

We will miss having you, your mom, and Rocky in this year's Passion Play.

Go get 'em kid!
