JM.  Stop stalking my blog and pressuring me to update.

Maff.

This is the culmination of about 2 weeks jammed into one post.  Hope you dig!

It's official...the thursday night Office parties are turning into a real treat.  Mafia is fun (almost ready to try a new game), but it's cool to have a fun night to invite people to.  And also to meet new people myself.  If you haven't been, I strongly suggest you try it out!

I carved an awesome pumpkin this year that I am way proud of.  I call it "The Way of the Wolfe."  Sorry for the cell-phone camera quality.

So last weekend I was fortunate enough to play in the junior high service.  We played this really epic Barlow Girl song, but it would've been twice as epic with a keychange.  No debate.  But we made excellent use of the backlit projector for some "ipod dancer" type silhouettes.  About 20-30 kids were standing behind this screen for most of the song, and then the screen raised up to reveal the choir of students.  Sooo rad.  Here's a pic during rehearsal.

 aaaand a video from the night I didn't play.  But just for effect.

I haven't been working a lot lately due to school and church and stuff (which is definitely a good thing haha)

but I took a pic of the inside. Pretty sweeeeet.

Speaking of church stuff, it's been a challenging week with the news of the Alternative service being cancelled.  For 8 years, music was my relationship with God.  I got emotional when I played and was able to talk to God through my drumming.  But now that my outlet is no longer there, I'm finding out that my walk with God has been one dimensional.  I have not been devoted to reading my bible, tithing, helping others, and even praying for that matter because, in my mind, I was satisfied in my relationship with God.  But through this news, I think I finally realized that he's not satisfied with my commitment (or lack thereof).  So I'm taking this news in stride, and seeking new ways (for me) to talk to Him again.  With that said, it's time for me to be more than a sunday morning christian.

That's all for now.
