June 8th (Day 25)

Today's verse of the day is John 14:1, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." Today sure was one of the busier days that I've had in a while. It started with a staff meeting that lasted about an hour and a half. After the meeting, James had Jeff and I run over to his house and pick up some of the equipment that was put in his truck after service yesterday. Once we got back, he and I started working on the preservice song for this week, which just happens to be (drum roll please....)....Sweet Home Alabama. I can't help but think of the old Pinedale worship band practices when Shawn would be about to explain something and then Scott would burst into that all familiar intro lick, and before you knew it he had the majority of the band playing with him. Ah the memories. But anyway, after working on guitar for about an hour or so, I started working on some of the sound tech. stuff that I need to get done this week. I sent out an email to all of the guys to see if they could email me a list of available dates for when they would not be able to run sound. I'm helping out Jason Peterson, especially since he's been pretty swamped recently, by making up a calendar to schedule volunteers to run sound and stuff. Michael's wife Rae brought over some fresh chocolate chip cookies and then a little later a Momentum member brought a bag full of fresh fruit. So I figured why not have lunch, haha. I ate some fruit, had a PB&J, some carrots, and a water (lunch of a champion, I know, haha). Later in the afternoon, we had a Creative Arts meeting and then we each met individual with James. I got a list of important tasks to try to get done this week. I'm going to be pretty busy this week to say the least. Once I got home, I went for my 2 mile walk, took a shower, ate some fruit and a cheese sandwich for dinner, and ever since then have been working on one of my biggest projects for the week. I'm attempting to put together an iWorship Flexx song lyric avi/mov file for Mediashout. So far things are looking promising. I've got the click track and the 1st verse done. I'm currently working on the pre-chorus and chorus. But all in all, even though this week will be busy there are still some relaxing things to look forward to. Tomorrow I'm going to the zoo with the other interns probably, and then Thursday some of my best friends from KCU are coming up and we are all going to the Indians game (sitting in some pretty sweet seats I might add.....not too far behind 1st base). Well I guess that's all I have for you today. Till tomorrow!
