Monday.I slept in. The first thought that I had when I woke up was, "I really need to start my blog." So here we go...
I've been wanting to share more of my life with my family and friends that live far away. So some things I'll be doing in the near future are.
1. Posting a video of where I live
More clearly defining what it is I actually do (for some reason I feel like being an Associate Pastor is a bit nebulous. So I hope to be able to look back on these postings in a year or so and say, "Hey, this is what I actually do")
Week in Review
- Last Saturday, I went to see Fiction Family. It was a great atmosphere. Very intimate and free of an overproduced feel. Jon Foreman played Your Love Is Strong which just made my night. Whenever Jon or Sean would sing some of their solo stuff, everyone in the band would go sit down on some benches on the stage. If they felt inspired to add something to the song they would stand up and play or sing along. It felt as if they were playing in my living room.
- After the Sunday Celebration at The Jar, the staff took off to Crystal Mountain to go skiing. We had a blast. I had never been skiing before but felt good about going from nothing to a few black diamonds by the end of the first day. I had gone snowboarding last year and so the second day I got back on the snowboard. I enjoy the challenge of snowboarding. It completely wore me out and so I spent a good hour in the hot tub. Here's what I loved about being there though. It was quiet. I would get on the lift with Chris, John, or Rob and we would just enjoy being together. We had some great conversations. But mostly looking at the sky heading up the slope just put me at ease.
- I got back Wednesday afternoon and headed out to see Kings of Leon play at the Murat Theater. I went with Brent Close from church. The beautiful irony is that he always tells me that the band at church is too loud and we went to a loud rock show. It was a great show. Loud. Energetic.
- Saturday Night, Katie and I went to Grace Community Church in Noblesville. We had never been to church together (where I wasn't distracted by responsibilities). It really was nice to be able to connect in that way. Then we went to Borders and browsed books for a good hour and a half.
Oh yeah, I'm selling my 2004 Pontiac Vibe for $7000 if you're interested give me a buzz.
