First Of . . . Many?

Well, here is. My first ever royalty check from CCLI. It's hard to see, but the amount is $69.59. I have to say that this was a surprise - considering that the only reporting entity doing my stuff during this last session was Romack's Wesley group, I was expecting somewhere around the vicinity of $20. I can't tell you guys how great this feels - to have actual, tangible evidence that these songs were done in worship. The check also came with a neat readout that let me know which tunes created this royalty. I've listed them below, starting with the most reported:

1. King of Mercy - 27 credits for a total of $36.84
2. I Am Glad - 15 credits for a total of $20.47
3. My Savior - 9 credits for a total of $12. 28.

Getting this info has done just what I thought it would - make me more passionate about getting some quality recording done. Unfortunately, we're still a long way of from hiring Ross to produce a record, but it's likely that Romack will be able to help us craft some high-end demos that we can share to other churches until such time as the Ross thing goes down.

Thanks for believing in, praying for and using these songs, guys.
