Random thoughts from me

Ok sorry I haven't written or posted anything lately. I have no excuses, I just haven't gotten it done.

 Hey the Eagles have their first pre season game tonight. Against the fourth most hated team in the league, New England, behind Dallas, New York, and Washington of course.

 The Angels have just swept the Rays of Tampa Bay.

 I actually made it to two games this week. Monday the Smiths had tickets and invited us. Tuesday I went with Ryan with the tickets I got from Tyler and Lauren for my birthday.

 I am really excited about the new college and twenty somethings thing that is starting on September 10.

 True story. I was reading Chasing Daylight (formerly Seizing Your Divine Moment) by Erwin McManus. It is all about well seizing your divine moment. Well I was wondering where my first opportunity was going to come from. It came in the form of an email from Rachel Oblon inviting me to a meeting to discuss the new thing that's going on. Talk about timing.

 I have also been thinking and replaying the meeting in my head. I always seem to come up with responses after the fact.

 I also have come to the conclusion that I am not an "idea" person. Well that may not be completely true. I find that coming up with new original ideas is not my gift. However I can take your idea and toy around with it to see if I can improve upon it.
Example: a few years ago for the Christmas eve services Brent had an idea of projecting onto the wall behind the stage. His idea was to have projectors on both sides, just the normal rectangle graphic on the wall. We went and tested it to see if it would work and it appeared huge on the wall. That is when I had the idea of putting the projectors on there sides and masking to fill the white part of the wall. Brent's original idea. My revision.

 I don't know how many people actually read this. Nor do I care about numbers anymore. If I am authentic here that is all that matters.
