I've been talking about this "new site" for what seems like forever. Lucky for all of us this "forever" has an end. We're mere hours away from launching the new Sphereofhiphop.com. Really? Serious! Look for more announcements soon on this. It'll be a few month process to fully integrate everything into the new site. We'll still need to port over much of the content featured on this older version of the site to the new one. We'll be leaving the ezine section up for an undetermined amount of time. Once the dust is settled we'll remove all the old stuff here and let the good times roll on the new spot. Thank you for your support, patience and prayers. It feels tremendous to be done with this project and I hope ya'll enjoy the new site. Josh "plastic" |

Thank you!
2009 was a year filled with challenges and triumphs. The year started off to be pretty scary to the point I feared the site would need to be closed. Each month was filled with stress trying to find ways to pay the basic bills. Many of you were sources of encouragement that urged me on to stay positive and pray for God to provide. Thank you for helping me to remain hopeful. Towards the end of the year we started to see where the last few years of struggle were starting to pay off. Opportunities started to find us instead of finding constantly closed doors. It was nice for a change! Thank you to everyone who has visited the site throughout the year... purchased music... downloaded MP3s... subscribed to the Podcast... participated in the forums... ya'll are why I give up most of my free time. Thanks for being supportive and encouraging. You'll start to notice a lot of changes around here. Expect some bumps along the way. Growing pains are good I suppose and I think they will be worth it. Hang in there and keep dropping by. Much prayer and consideration have gone into all the "stuff" that is coming. Make 2010 a year where you share the love and invite your friends to check out Sphere of Hip-Hop. I hope to make you proud to be a supporter of the site and of our ministry as well. The new year looks awesome and I'm excited to serve in the capacity I do. Blessed to be a blessing ya'll! God bless. -josh "plastic" |

Year 10 begins. March 1st 1998 it was snowy and I was monitoring the college computer lab. I had just finished uploading the first, and very primitive, version of Sphereofhiphop.com. While it was a crude attempt at making a good looking website, it was the best we could do at the time. That was always something I wanted for the site, to simply do the best we could do. Seems to be working out okay. My 'class project' of building a website was now finished. I had learned some basic stuff for sure. Apparently God had other plans for the website as it quickly took root. This still weirds me out when I think of how it should have been somebody else to be doing this all. I had no experience running a website and had even less talent to build it (haha, still dont really have a lick of design skill). Over the years I came to understand and come to grips with my calling. I fought it at times and doubted it at others. It has been a character building exercise for me. It has challenged me in so many ways I never expected something that started out as virtually a hobby would do. Along the way God has taught me so many lessons that have boldly impacted my life. I hear from people that the site has helped them and challenged them as well. That certainly is encouraging and often keeps me going in the midst of day-to-day challenges I am faced with. Please drop me a line (use the Contact page to email) with your stories of how Sphere of Hip Hop has benefited you. 2007 looks awesome from where I'm sitting. Dont forget to check out that Fund Drive. As hard as it is for me to ask, we need your help. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your emails. peace and God bless, Josh |
