craving authenticity today.
I don’t want to live my life in obligation to anyone. I want to do whatever Jesus wants me to, but I don’t ever want to do things because I feel like they will get me somewhere with someone. I don’t ever want to be that person who does stuff purely to look some way that they want to look, because someone else wants them to look that way. Whether it’s society, individual people or some other...

So yeah...
So yeah… I had written a brief anthology of the human race- (or really, God’s faithfulness) for this post, but I scrapped it. So for those who aren’t me, here’s what’s been going on in my life for about 6 months:
I was praying for someone to go visit churches with me.
I couldn’t keep her name out of my head…
so, finally, I emailed her, even though I didn’t want to,

15 minutes
I’ve been thinking about this idea for a couple weeks. 15 minutes. 2 weeks ago, I was re- reading Max Hsu’s blog(IMO, one of the best blogs on creativity out there), and I came across posts where he wrote about his 15 minute “challenge”. For him, spending 15 minutes a day on the things that he wants to improve creatively was a smash hit success, and look at him, he’s done almost everything in...

Jesus rocks.
it always amazes me how God can use any situation for his glory. This past week I was up north working on a lighting install for a new(to me) company. It was my first “real” install, and gosh, I learned a ton. The install world is much different from the live production world, as I learned this past week. I had previously worked on one other install, but in that case, I shared all my meals...

I heart volunteering- PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY...
Gosh…I haven’t been working at all this week- but I had a great week volunteering at my old church. Volunteering is so good, and I’m so glad that tomorrow I get to start volunteering at my new church, and that is good because I love volunteering!(It’s like real work but you don’t get paid but your boss is actually nice)///
so yeah, great week, great God, great...

On Creativity
So I shot some really cool photos today. If you looked at them, you might be amazed, but not near as much as me. Why? Because I’m the punk that finally practiced what he preached and instead of buying a shoot-through umbrella and a light stand just shot his flash through some paper towels hung off of a music stand that’s on top of his desk while listening to Taylor Swift. See, if you hang out...

Sing song sign song sign sing song
Music is a crazy thing… I read once that after you hear a song 20 times(approximately), it loses meaning to you because you tune out a bit when you hear it. Of course, there are always exceptions, but I’m pretty convinced that this is true…
That brings me to this morning- I was in the shower, singing as usual. I couldn’t really come up with a song that had great meaning...
