Month: June 2008

Whew! We finished up VBS (Vacation Bible School) tonight at Cowan Mill Church and I’m tired! I didn’t get to go Monday night because of work but I went last night and tonight and it was pretty fun. I didn’t participate much last night b/c I thought it was cheezy and my VBS years were over, but tonight I had more interactivity and fun. I took my Western duster and hat and walked down the VBS hallway with kids staring at me like “who u be??!” haha. And I took my 6-foot Samurai sword for Pastor Kaplan to look at, which was also cool.

Well, Pastor Tom (Kaplan) introduced me to John, the multimedia guy for the church (who has a pre-website drawn up for the church). Well, that was a shoot-down all in itself but still we chatted about each of our methods of web publishing/designing and I tried to convince him to use ANH/CHI but I think he was reluctant to hear or have a “newbie” at the church jump in and start (or take over) something. And I agree, I wouldn’t feel too obliged if john doe came in and tookover something at C4L, no no. THAT kindof involvement only comes with prayer…which I’ve had to learn the hard way to do.

So aftewards, I told Pastor Tom that I think he (John) was a bit reluctant to let me do the website, and that I also don’t do well in the web ministry with others and then Pastor Tom told me that it comes with time and that God’ll allow it if so, and I agreed to that. So Pastor Tom said for me to not be discouraged as John loves the church and wants to do the website (which I totally understand, that’s what I did for JABC). So Pastor Tom told me to not hold back with ideas and suggestions and for he and I to discuss them, if ever, and pray on them to see if the Lord wants whatever it may be to come about. So, in turn, IF God wants me to assist or primarily work with the website, then He will allow it, else He has something better in store and I need to accept that and be humble to that.

Well that’s it for now. I’m gonna rest before I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Much Love In Christ,

Andrew

Good-ish news. I’ve been taking a few music books with me to Cowan Mill Church ‘in case’ they asked me to play for them. They hadn’t yet, but my dad mentioned it this previous Sunday and so we hung around after worship for about 45 minutes and talked, I played a bit, and discussed both music and computers. So they wanted me to play this coming Sunday!!! I said that’s a lil’ too early, haha but that I didn’t mind filling in every now and then or playing if we came up with something to play. I also told Pastor Kaplan about LUVR Services, specifically LUVR Web Design and he’s going to bring up about getting a website to the Budget Committe this fall. So that’ll go well, hopefully.

Also, I purchased all 3 Casting Crowns albums and music folios tonight at work. So I’m listening to them now. haha. Maybe, perhaps, I can play for or with Mr. Lovern (Music Leader) seeing as he is enthralled with (and good at) singing CC’s music.

OK. I’m tired so I’m getting off here, backing up the servers and going to bed. Gotta go to VBS 2mrw.

God Bless!

Of my four possible career fields (music, computers, business mgmt., and counseling), Music seems to now be a tad more dominant. I’ve been practicing a bit more and at first it was rough because my skill was zilch (b/c of lack of practice skills the last 2 or so years), however I’ve built back up to where I was in these last 2 weeks so that’s a big YAY. 2  years of semi-lost skill back in 2 weeks. haha. Anyway, it’s the fact that I only played music that was at my Late Beginner/Late Intermediate ranges…so I spruced up and jumped back into my books that are late intermediate/early(-mid) advanced so that helps.

Anyway, Casting Crowns is awesome so I’ve got each of their 3 CD’s and music folio books on hold at work (till one of the folios comes in on order, hopefully). That way I can add them to my Evanescence collections. haha.

Anyway, gotta go back to work tomorrow. Yay…sure ok. 🙂

God bless and have a great rest-of-the-week!
