Modern worship artist JASON MORANT is getting ready to release his sophomore project next month. Morant had planned to record “Open” in his hometown of New Orleans
before Hurricane Katrina destroyed his studio there but the singer/songwriter ended up working with co-producer Paul Mills in Nashville to record the songs he had spent the last two years writing in the Crescent City. According to Morant, "I had really looked forward to doing this record at home, but in the end, I believe all that I had envisioned has even gone beyond my expectations. Paul and I have actually treasured the fact that our recording plans were foiled more than once because it forced us to constantly surrender the project to the Lord and not rely on our own strength."
“Open”, which is set to be released on May 30th, overflows with 16 tracks, all written or co-written by Morant, including two instrumental tunes. For more information, go to jasonmorant.com. <><

CHUCK’S CHUCKLES:
Actual Catholic Elementary School Quiz Answers-
(these were actual answers from test questions about the Old and New Testaments in the Bible given by children attending a Catholic elementary school)
1. Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Noah's wife was Joan of Ark. Noah built an ark and the animals came on in “pears”.
2. The Egyptians were all drowned in the “dessert”. Afterwards, Moses went up to Mount Cyanide to get the Ten Commandments.
3. The First Commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.
4. The Seventh Commandment is “Thou shalt not admit adultery.”
5. Moses died before he ever reached Canada. Then Joshua led the Hebrews in the battle of Geritol.
6. The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.
7. Solomon, one of David’s sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
8. Jesus enunciated the golden rule, which says to “do unto others before they do one to you.” He also explained a “man doth not live by sweat alone.”
9. The people who followed the Lord were called the “12 Decibels.”
10. The Epistels were the wives of the Apostles.
11. One of the opossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.
12. St. Paul cavorted to Christianity and preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage.
13. Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony.
