Things We Talked About Today

-Jonny Diaz joined us by phone. He will be in concert (FREE) on Tuesday at 7 PM at the Augusta Common and again on October 1st with Matthew West and Josh Wilson at New Hope Worship Center in Grovetown. Jonny's brother, Matt, plays for the Atlanta Braves and baseball seems to run in their family. They have another brother who played professional baseball, and Jonny received a baseball scholarship to Florida State University. After a short stint there, God decided to take him in a different direction. We also found out that he wrote "More Beautiful You" after leading music at summer youth camps and seeing how young girls struggle with beauty. Other interesting things about Jonny: he is in a fantasy football league with Matthew West and Josh Wilson and he has a dog named Bodie that is a goldendoodle (golden retriever and poodle mix). Bodie is already huge at 5 months old and expected to double in size! Jonny's wife likes to put clothes on him and has been looking for a doggie halloween costumes, much to Johnny's dismay.
