Welcome!Go Here For New News

Hello, my name is "Dangerous" Doug Harper and I am about to let you in on my crazy life. I will be posting all of the cool things going on right here so keep yourself posted!.

Well what is new? Not much here, I have just been getting all pumped up about all the music coming in March! Don’t worry about not having any live music, because the month of March will just be really cool! I’m glad you have stoped by, and checked up…

I have not had a chance to just sit down and write you on here, for awhile so I am sorry. I’ll start with a big Happy Valentines Day to everyone! I hope it went well for all of you. I have been kind of sad lately, since there is no more music at Gordon’s, but it is ok because I am looking for better gigs. I will be playing lots of out of town shows for awhile though, and that will be a nice change, so watch my tour schedule for all of the up coming shows in town so you don't miss me.

This time around the adventure show will be great! It will feature some of the area musicians, fun, contests, and more. Don’t miss it! It will once again be held at Gordon’s Pizza Theater, at 701 E. Cherry Street in historic downtown Nevada. I know you are getting excited, and so am I. At the Adventure #6, there will be several musical performances and more. Don’t miss out it all begins at 7 PM, Saturday Night January 24, 2004. Tickets are $3 each, and can be purchased in advance at the Gordon’s Pizza Theater Box office 417-667-8500 (recommended) or at the door (if they have not sold out).

12:46 AM

Here I am thinking about all of it, direction, and what the future holds. I can hear music playing outside my window, and as I look out of it I can see the snow that is left from yesterday. The street below is not busy this time of night but shurley it will be congested with traffic early tomorrow morning. The courthouse clock shines brightly, and I wait eagerly for the chime at one-o-clock. No one can see just exactly what goes on here, until you have lived it. A town full of lost souls just waiting for something great big to happened. The town needs a radical movement of God. I’ll take the challenge, I would just love to go the distance and help change this place. There it was! Chiming in though the distant bell like Christmas sounds playing over the speakers on our square, the courthouse chimed one-o-clock. Now do I feel as though I should be ready for the sleep that awaits me? No, I instead wait with expectancy for my encounter with God. It is on nights like these that I feel the greatest presence of God. I hear the instruction, and become whole again.

1:02 AM

I am feeling a bit tired tonight, but If I can only wait just a few minutes longer, God will visit with me, in fact I can sense his presence now, so I am turning on a worship CD. The music moves my thinking and my heart into a relaxed and uplifted state of being. God’s presence is very known as I am sitting here thinking, and I am now going into a moment of prayer… “Lord purify my heart, and make me a man with a holy heart and a pure mind. Give me strength, and guide my choices. Make me new, and make me yours.” It is time to let God speak back to me; I will now wait for confirmation from him as the song “Open the Eyes of my Heart” plays…

1:10 AM

The presence of God is increasing and the reality of God is evident. I feel clean and refreshed, and my mind is at ease. All the problems of the world are far away from me. “Never let go of reality, but do not dwell too closely to it. Be relieved of any sickness, or troubles, and find freedom, wisdom, and peace with Christ at the helm of your life. Believe and be free, allow God’s love to shine through you and live right and you will prevail against all weakness, and strife, for I am God, your lord, and your King, bow before my glory. Your freedom is only steps away.”

1:15 AM

God’s presence has come over me, and I will get on my knees and pray.

1:30 AM

I’ll go to sleep knowing God is with me.

Today is Dec. 30, 2004 and we are gearing up for the Great Big New Years Eve Bash!

We will be starting all the music at 7pm and will have music all the way untill 1am, so stop by and bring in the new year with us!.

The crew showed up for the evening performance, and some of 'em hit Wal-mart. Later we hung out afterwards and had some fun, well at least I did, Tiny and myself ran a marathon, but Richard just ended up getting kicked in the head! The night ended at dawn after Richard and I had free breakfest at the Truck Stop. A woman there showed the whole Truck Stop her butt, and bared her chest after almost getting into a battle royal with a chick acting like a ginny.

Friday night was the Cottey concert, the girls sang well, but the highlight was getting to drive Fergie's '71 Volkswagon.
