Sunday and Monday Tuesday.

Sunday was a rough one. It was a good one, but boy it was a rough one. I'm from Indiana, and I'm not really used to this whole time change deal. I have been in Michigan almost five years, you would think I would be used to it, but I'm not. So I lost an hour of sleep. Let me tell you something: I am the kind of person that NEEDS his 10 hours of sleep at night.

So Sunday, I was so ridiculously tired, it was also the Sunday I led worship in Adult service. It was a great time, I even led the performance songs and the encounter song. This was my third time leading and I felt a lot more confident in my voice. Leading I could have done a little better on, it's not like StuCo, it's a lot more intimidating when you lead for adults, haha. But seriously. I stuttered like 4 times, haha. Oh well.

I heard the Band in StuCo went great. Ben is a great student leader and I was thrilled to hear about how well they did. I look forward to Ben getting more actively involved in leading so ultimately I can just sit back and focus on other things. He's almost there!

We all ate at Chili's after church, I had the shrimp pasta alfredo, it was really good. Tara informed me it has 1800 calories in just that meal. Thanks sweetie.

After that, Tara and I just went back to my place and I took a quick little nap. I was hoping to get down to Ann Arbor by 4, but no. I was literally the most tired I have ever been. Plus my head and stomach were hurting, it was not looking good. I ended up going to Ann Arbor and getting there at 5pm.

StuCo that night went well, we had about 7 or so students. Not as much as the previous weeks. But I can tell they're really starting to get on board with what we're doing at this church. I can tell we have some definate leaders in the group. 3 of them are musicians, which is awesome. I look forward to starting a little worship band. We're launching StuCo on March 22nd from 4-5:30pm at the Boardwalk. Sunday night overall went awesome.

Right after church I just left. I was coughing and my lungs felt like they were on fire and I always felt like I was going to throw up.

I just went straight to bed.

Monday was crazy. I didn't do anything but lay in bed and sleep. I probably slept for 12 hours, just watched TV, backed up my computer, organized my iTunes, installed some software and just watched movies all day long while my little Bird crawled all over me. She must have thought I was in trouble or something, she seemed concerned. I really didn't eat much.

Tuesday was a good one, I woke up completely rested and was ready for the day. I got into the office around 9 and organized some services, looked at the future services to make sure everything was going smoothly, emailed some artists, planned some time, emails, myspace updates, website updates, the usual stuff. I also started watching some tutorials on xHTML (html) CSS, asp, jsp all that deal. It's pretty interested stuff and I've actually always wanted to learn how to AT LEAST kind of understand it, if not completely write it from scratch. I'm a designer, not a programmer. The StuCo website is all done is dreamweaver so I want to really learn the in's and out's of that program and the process has started.

I leave every Tuesday at 3:30 to teach the Gibsons drums. Sean and family surprised me with a birthday cake and a little gift. They are such an awesome family. May God bless them Greatly. I pray for him and his family and the loss of Sean's mother.

After that Jeff had a surprise for me for my birthday, which is friday. So all day I had no idea what I was, when he picked me up last night, he told me . . . . .

WYNTON MARSALIS and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra!!! Amazing!! It was so amazing. Dude has won 9 grammies. He's also the only musician to win in BOTH classical and Jazz. But really, it was crazy. Every one of the musicians was incredible. It was to watch history and watch one of the greats. Props to Jeff for the birthday gift. It was awesome. He's a good big bro.

So, today was a little more rough, we had an arts meeting at 10 which went well. Planning for upcoming services.

I went out to lunch with Jason and we talked about marriage and married life as well as Brad's brand new Baby girl Bella, that's so awesome, we're so proud of him!

Today was more of a meeting day and working things out day. I'm going to do a baptism video and learn more about html and css.

I did make the graphic for the new upcoming series for our church check it out. Also, I made a little blog header for Brad's blog.



I hope we use this graphic, Jeff was cool enough to ask me to tackle it. The series is called wide awake.

Alright, I'm going to start on this baptism video for Sunday. I have to meet Tara at the secretary of State at 5 to get the corolla titled and insured etc . . . Then we have StuCo unplugged, it's the last one.

Until the next time.
