Clarity To me, the term “Clarity” encompasses a wide variety of positive emotions; deep inner peace, wrapped in the ability to love unconditionally, coated with joyous gratitude and dipped in a faith that my life, my work, my purpose is all in God's hands.  With a cherry on top.  It's the best.  It's me at my best...my sundae best.  And it's me when I'm void of fear, stress, worry, resentment, and all those other bad flavors of ice cream.     The idea for this album was to give people music to put on while they relax, while they wind down, while they pray, meditate...to create something beautiful that might help folks to spit out those bad flavors, to shed the negativity, the drama, the insecurities, the stress...and to encourage more enjoyment, love, laughter...and ultimately, Clarity. Thanks I believe that every bit of creativity is a gift from God and that just as I used my guitar as an instrument to compose and record these songs, we are all God's instruments to creating beauty in the world.  Any peace or joy that you receive in listening to this album is not because of me; I'm merely the instrument that these songs were played through.   So the biggest thanks, all honor and glory goes to God for these songs...I tried to do them justice, but he’s a much better guitarist than I ever will be. I would also like to say a special thanks to my wife Nora for her love, her patience and for that pun above about the sundae. Thanks to her family as well as my Mom, Dad, brother, sister and extended family, my executive producers Tim and Minh, all of the Kickstarter supporters that made this album possible, my mastering engineer Sam, The folks at Crossroads Church, all of the churches and venues we've played over the years, my wonderful sponsors (listed back cover), Jimmy Mack, my horrible friends Curt & Sam, Mike Davis, all of the folks we've stayed with on the road, all of the folks that have taken it upon themselves to host or promote a show.  The people who have been listening to my music since day one...and the people who have been listening since yesterday...and YOU!  Thank you for listening to my music.  Much love, -Mark
