On Hiatus

I won't be blogging or tweeting during the hiatus, nor reading most of what comes through my feed reader and Facebook—if I read anything [...]

15, Jun 2009

I thought we had a really good day yesterday. It was something of a day off for me, not that I didn't show up and work, but it was a much welcomed change of pace. It has become my thing to operate FoH sound for the children's musicals. I really enjoy operating the board and [...]

Worship Confessional: June 7, 2009

Woo! Got to make this post a quick one. I'm behind, and our annual music camp starts in less than half an hour. That means well over 100 kids are coming through our doors as I type.
Overall, I thought the day was a good day. The band did very well, in that we seemed to [...]
