Dan Schutte’s Guitar

Ok so this has nothing to do with JMT, but we’re off the road right and it’s my blog & I’ll cry..er..do what I want to. I just thought this was a neat story.

Little Portion Appeal

The Brothers and Sisters of Charity are appealing for help to support the community into the future. While all the proceeds from JMT’s music ministry go to the community it isn’t enough by itself to sustain a dynamic and growing community. John Michael has sent a letter out to all the friends of the community […]

Last day…..

Early morning on a Kansas highway, the sun just rising ahead of us as we head back to Little Portion.
