Please join in our effort to bring more love & peace to our world. Like the song says "love is a movement".

I know now that God's plans for me are important. Everything I have endured... and even the way that I dealt with things... has brought me to where I am now. God has molded me to be exactly who I am, to do some very specific things within His incredibly elaborate and intricate design. The Creator of Justice and Grace uses all things, good and evil, to work for His purposes, and ultimately for the glory of His name... so that all the earth will know, He is the one and only God.

Heroes
"The Lord is righteous in all His ways
and kind in all His works.
The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him;
He also hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord preserves all who love Him,
but all the wicked He will destroy."
Psalm 145: 17-20

Hi! I am Texas Pea. I am the daughter of a 60's rock musician... raised on 70's rock... and married a 90's rock musician. So, now I am a happily married, Christian hippie alt-rocker, and mother of 3 angels... and 2 Weimaraner puppies.
I LOVE alt-rock, Christian rock, indie rock and acoustic guitar... and i am not afraid to promote it. =) I also love chillin' with friends, Columbian coffee, pool tables, small sail boats, brown candles, coffee liquors with vodka and milk, the feeling of sunshine on my skin, and any project that stimulates my creativity.
Please read my story/testimony, which is blogged here.
Peace.

Watch these videos of Matthew Mayfield performances: click the menu and hover for song titles, especially "revelation", "all the same" and "ease your mind" (my favorites).
Each new song he pulls out of his pocket seems more brilliant than the one before it. Check it out. Banner by me:

LP headquarters blog: “our vision for LP is closer to our hearts than ever before: we want to be a conduit for change, an advocate for justice.”
Jon wrote a new bio for the Switchfootpodcast youtube account, in which he announces Lowercase People Records. This is part of it:
"...In order to cut down on the distance between the listener and the music, we have decided to do our music independently under the banner of Lowercase People Records.
Our goal was to remove the corporate barrier between our audience and our songs. Musically, we wanted to go places we've never been before. We wanted to put out a more diverse collection of musical projects with more artistic control. Since music plays such a crucial role of connecting people with important issues around the world, we wanted to be a part of a label that gives directly to social justice causes, one that is more eco friendly. Lowercase People Records is our attempt to do all of this and more..." - Jonathan Foreman
The song "Rebuild", written by Jon Foreman and Matt Theison, is the FIRST SONG TO BE RELEASED by Lowercase People Records! The song was written for their Appetite for Construction Tour, which gives $1 from each ticket sold to Habitat For Humanity. Learn more at www.myspace.com/switchfoot.
