Happy Thanksgiving

All of us (me) here at AITM (acronyms make everything cooler, don't they?) would like to wish both of our (my) loyal readers a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.

Firsts

this was a weekend of firsts for me. for starters, it was the first wedding i have ever taken part in with a harmonica player. It was also the first time i have ever played in the 9:30 service. i had played in CR a couple of times, but in front of people i knew, which was almost a safety net. This time it was in front of 400 people. it was exhilarating, i can't wait for another chance. after that, the CR service, where i played again, the same two songs plus one. All the time, God is good.

Wow

Ok, so tonight, i attended worship with 169 Mogulus users that i have never met. Worship was led by Carlos Whittaker, (here). It was Awesome. the video can be found here. Yeah, if you were not worshiping, you don't have a pulse. 'Nuff Said.

Epic Fail...Or...Gravity and the Physiological Response

So yeah, i was turning right on to Marylan, on my way to class, and my right bike pedal comes off. Just pops off. OFF O-F-F OFF. and .87 seconds later, me being captain balance, i join my pedal. resulting in this



and this












thank goodness professor Pulsinelli had tape

Stuff Happens

Did you ever have one of those days?

mine was 48 hours long, and ended in a funeral.  We expected the funeral to be huge, so we spend the better part of Monday morning getting the MAC ready to simulcast from the sanctuary.  we line everything up, get the signal flowing the way we want it, and then we don't even use it.  but what we really want to do is record the ceremony to a DVD.  the picture quality was amazing, but we had one problem.  There was no Audio on the DVD.  the one problem we didn't test for and anticipate happened.  so i was a little mad.  and then i thought about it for a second, and i kept coming back to the bumper sticker guy from Forest Gump.  S@#t happens.  there is nothing one can do about it, we are only humans.  So what do we do? mull it over and be mad?

Or do we Learn from it and try not to make the same mistake?

It finally happened. I got a tattoo. Wes Carter is the Best.

Its really over

So there i was, at Wally world, and i saw three people i went to high school with.

And i realized, its really over.  one guy i sat next to in English, i barely said hi to.  a month ago we would have stopped and talked about class.  now, nothing.

the dilemma, is that a good thing or not?

God is Good all the Time

So there i was, getting ready for C.R., and the rehearsal was Mediocre at best, and we get in there and the band leader, Wendell says "Jesus, we need your help," and we all start snickering

Because it was true.  Well, he listened, and the Set was Awesome.  Everything clicked, the mix was good, Wendell, Rick, and Brian were in a groove, and the singers were in a special place i can only dream of.  

All the time, God is Good
