At least one is what you think it is.
I've been running, training for the half-marathon in October. It's been mostly good, but I haven't kept a consistent schedule, which I think supports my "I don't try really hard and still do good at most things" mentality. I'm working at being more disciplined. It's funny that people would probably think I run because I'm disciplined, but really I run to be disciplined. I think it's the same thing with prayer and scripture; I don't do it because I am holy, I do it to be made holy.
Next Thursday, Aug 12 I'll join the band of Eric Landshaft for an event in downtown Chicago, playing at Millenium Park! (See Pritzker Pavilion, above.) For those of you tuning in from Orlando, this is a bigger deal than playing the Lake Eola shell. It's more like playing House of Blues or something. Regardless, it's an amazing opportunity! I'll be playing rhythm guitar and having tons o' fun! Hopefully Ian will be playing percussion and we'll have a jolly grand time!
I'm jumping into a new role at the church, though not many people will know it. I'll be acting behind-the-scenes more as an associate pastor, learning the ropes of what it means to pastor a church. I really need more responsibility, as I have found I know very little about pastoring a church aside from what I already do. It's a part of this new stage of life, of conscious and intentional growth and learning. It's a good thing.
Other than that, I'm still at the funeral home, working at the restaurant, and living the dream. Thanks for keeping up with me. Maybe you can answer me a question:
What's new with you?
