So, 2008 is upon us. Last year was a great year. I started it in England doing what I love, learning and talking about Jesus. Tastyfresh had a great year as well. I will miss last year, but I am incredibly excited about 2008. If we have half as good as a year this year, we are still in for a treat. But I know from hearing about this years plans for events, we will have an even better year. Which, for me, is hard to imagine.

As I sat down to plan this issue out in the later parts of November, I never expected to have this many quality articles but so many different people. This issue already has enough of me, so let’s get to the good stuff.

In this issue we have the first ever Tastyfresh.com presents The Freshies: The Best of 2007. This is a first of its kind for Tastyfresh. Doug Theodore posted a thread asking for the opinions of the Tastyfresh community on several categories. After several days worth of discussion, we came up with our winners. Take a look and I am sure you will agree with me. Thanks again Tastyfresh for your suggestions, they were all taken into account and congratulations to the winners.

Next up is a New Year’s wrap up from Club Truth by Jessica Reiche. I have never been to Club Truth, but I have heard nothing but praise about it. No pun intended. They had a lot of difficulties getting that party thrown, but it sounds like it went extremely well.  I can’t wait to hear more from them.

A few weeks ago I managed to catch up with our old friend Andy Hunter. We talked at length about his new album, entitled Colour, his recent film work as well as his plans for DJing out this year. All I will say is that you should expect big things coming from him in 2008.

The drop is back this issue. This time Doug Theodore starts a two part series on professionalism as an artist. I read it and was really inspired to step up my game and get myself in action. Take a read, I know you will enjoy it and be inspired.

Lastly, I have written this issues spiritual article. As I was writing, I really felt the Lord speaking to me and I was really challenged by what He was having me write. It is about the Armor of God that Paul talks about in Ephesians chapter 6 and how to equip ourselves to stand in the New Year.

I just want to say thank you for reading this magazine. I really put my heart into this and pray that you are encouraged not only in your art but your faith as well. I would really love to hear from you and what you think about this magazine. As always, feel free to contact me. I would love to chat.
