I know I haven't blogged in a while and many of you have reminded me about it every day. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
I spent a couple weeks on the road with Chapter 6 and I spent all of last week in Nashville working on some "things."
I have most of this week off before I hit the road and the airways next week.
Today was a fun day on the set with E! Entertainment. E! is the show that Ryan Seacrest hosts and it is usually on in the evenings depending on where you live in the country. I have been asked by the producer not to give details on the show but my episode will air in early May. I will keep you updated on here when I know more specifics.
Next week Lara and I will be flying to Orlando and we will be speical guests at Disney World for the new American Idol attraction that just openned last week. The day that we visit the attraction happens to be Lara's birthday so it works perfectly. I have been told that the new attraction is an exact replica of the Idol stage from Hollywood. There are seven shows that are held per day at Disney with a live studio audience and then a finale at the end of each day. The winner of each show is given an audition at next years Idol and does not have to wait in line. Maybe they will even let me be a judge for the day.
I am planning on a relaxing week before we get back on the road next week for a very busy schedule. I will try to blog from Disney if they have free wireless from our resort.
peace out.

- I am 29 years old, I'm married to a wonderful woman and I live in Indiana. I was recently on season 7 of American Idol. Shortly after being eliminated from the Top 16 I was diagnosed with cancer and recently finished 6 months of chemotherapy and now undergoing radiation 5 days a week. I have been inspired to share my story of joy in the midst of recent trials with others. I hope to use this blog to keep you all updated on my life and my health.

I hope you guys have fun! and happy early birthday to Lara!

An early Happy Birthday to Lara. Have fun at the Magic Kingdom. It's a great place to spend a birthday!
You're one busy fella, Luke! Looking forward to seeing the E! show and hearing whatever "things" come out from Nashville. Hope the Chapter 6 shows are going well. Love the video with you guys & Kyle Cease from the NACA Convention. (The C6 site gives a link to it on YouTube.)
Speaking of which, please relay a message to whoever runs the Chapter 6 website that the pictures recently added remain thumbnail size when you try to open them.
So, rest up this week! Wishing you all safe travels when you get back on the road. Have fun! Hopefully, we're done with the snowstorms!

Hey Luke, Great to hear about your latest adventures. So you're all set for the opportunity to be an idol judge, dawg? That sounds like it would be super cool. Don't forget to take advantage of the character breakfasts and take Lara to Cinderella's castle for her B-day. Now that you've hit the big 3-0, after all, it's important to engage in more serious grown-up endeavors ;). Give Tigger a kiss for me. TTFN
On the Flip Side.
Be sure to take lots of pictures! Have fun!

As Always, Lots of Love, Success, Strength, Wisdom of the Lord, and my constant prayers for you Always...Love, twotwo
