Courage or Stupidity?

It’s a valid question - all this that we’re doing...is it courageous or stupid? Seriously. I have a saying (I don’t know if I made it up or heard it somewhere) - “physics still apply” What it means is that God does bless us and help us and do miracles sometimes, but generally speaking, you can’t jump off a building and expect God to save you because...yes, that’s right...physics still apply.

So, are we jumping off the deep end? Yes. I guess we are. We’re taking some big risks right

right cheap. Still, it feels like deep water to us.

What I like about reading other people’s blogs is that you can feel like you’ve lived through certain experiences without actually having to go through them. Maybe this blog will be a blessing to those who’ve thought about the possibilities, but haven’t mustered the courage - or the stupidity - to explore them.

A final thought for you and then I’ll get off my soapbox - Psalm 50:10 says: “for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills”. I always remember that and especially lately. Why

Kát és Jay országos turnéra indul

Jancsó Kati és férje, Jay Hager nagy vállalkozásba fogtak: zenei képességeiket három hónapos turnén gyümölcsöztetik, amelynek során koncerteket adnak és rádióállomásokon interjúkban ismertetik tevékenységüket. Vettek egy 10 méter hosszú lakókocsit, ráfesttették “mesterségük címerét” és elérhetőségüket a web-en. A hosszú útra kutyájukat, Hermant is magukkal viszik, de ő feltehetőleg nem fog énekelni...

Útjuk első állomása Colorado állam, augusztusi programjukon szerepel Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa és Illinois. Naponta három-négy helyen is szerepelnek.

Weboldalukon: www.jandkat.com

, meghallgathatók legszebb számaik, láthatók videoklipek, és olvasható Kát útibeszámolója (blog).

Megnyugodhatnak azok, akik napról napra kissé szégyenkezve próbálják leküzdeni ebéd után a szervezetükön eluralkodó álmosságot: egyszerűen így van programozva az emberi szervezet.

A Manchesteri Egyetem kutatóinak egereken végzett kísérlete ugyanis azt bizonyítja: a táplálékban található glükóz gátolja azoknak az agyi idegsejteknek a működését, amelyek az éberséget szabályozó fehérje gyártásáért felelősek.

„Ez a mechanizmus magyarázatot adhat arra, miért leszünk álmosak evés után, illetve, hogy miért nehéz elaludni éhesen” - hangsúlyozta a kutatócsoport vezetője. Az ebéd utáni álmossághoz hozzájárulhat az is, hogy a délután folyamán minden embernél visszaesik az éberség egy időre.

Jay and Kát Goes On Tour

Jay is Jay Hager, bass player, seasoned musician who toured with Trisha Yearwood years ago, and on Sundays plays at the First Hollywood Presbyterian Church up on Franklin Avenue. Kaf is his wife Katalin, fully trained in secretarial skills, writes songs and sings at church on Sundays. And if you think her name sounds Hungarian, it is, she is the daughter of Julius and Susan Jancso.

They met at church and are happily married, making music together. Until recently, Kat worked in a great office job with a good pay and benefits. Jay, aside from his music, got an occasional “gig” as an actor, and he took care of the house, the grounds, and their large and friendly dog Herman. Then they decided to do this tour.

Kat quit her job and got busy securing appointments with radio stations and concerts in various parts of the country. Jay was working on the 30 feet RV they bought after selling their cars. He knew all about driving a bus from his previous tours.

They filled up their website with samples of the songs on their CDs, video clips, and a blog to which Kat will add details of their tour as time permits. If you care to check it out, it’s easy to remember:

Here is the most recent entry from the blog:

now. I guess they’re kind of stupid by some standards, but then again, how many other choices do we have? I guess I could go back to a desk job and Jay could go work at Sears. That’s very safe. Unless, of course, your company goes bankrupt. A desk job won’t keep you from getting Cancer either...or getting hit by a car. SAFE is relative. Nothing’s really that safe. It’s just an illusion of security that makes us feel better. And as far as good business goes - what business ever got off the ground without a startup investment? By most standards, our costs are really low - not even modest, but downshould I be afraid about losing money when my father owns everything there is? I still need to make wise decisions, but I don’t need to fear taking risks in the interest of being all that God made me to be. Money’s always out there. We’ll make more.

Signing out - it’s way too late.

Needing a Little Serenity

We were going to “wow” you all with our RV wrap - our big yellow tour bus - our rolling J & Kat bill-board. It didn’t quite work out. How so? Well, let’s just say it was the worst craftsmanship we’ve ever seen. Think 8 year child playing with stickers. Think blind man hanging wall paper. Think Britney Spears rewriting Stairway To Heaven. Yeah - it was that bad. The funny thing is, this crisis actually has brought us closer together.

That whole Wrap thing really set us back. It’s kind of funny actually -1 realized that we got a “bad wrap”...get it?....tee hee. We really did. Anyhow, we didn’t really have that extra time that we spent dealing with that. Now we’re busier than ever with preparations for the tour. Before, we were going to bed around 1:30 am and still getting up early. Now, we’re going to bed at 3:00 am and still getting up early. It’s nuts! All this stress definitely makes me remember to turn to God more. I love the serenity prayer - and it’s so appropriate for all that we’re dealing with. I think it’s worth quoting here:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things / can; and wisdom to know the difference.
