I think this has quite a bit of meaning for me and our family right now. Things are looking up after a couple of things yesterday, but we really are seeking wisdom right now and waiting and praying a lot about several things.
When I met with the Pastor of the church I might work at yesterday I found myself getting more excited than I had previously. In our early conversations, he was speaking more to having me on as a choir director (only) as opposed to our conversation yesterday, where I told him I’d feel more comfortable being in a part-time Music Pastor role. I’d really prefer to have complete control over the music, rather than just be a part of the system, especially when I feel like I have something to offer and/or could do a great job being in charge. I know, it sounds super controlling or egotistical, but I do feel like I have giftings in that area and have spent enough time in minor roles being frustrated by poor leaders. Again, I don’t want to go around tooting my horn, or tooting at all really…(heeheehee) but I feel compelled to lead in a situation like that. Now, if this were, say, the LA Philharmonic, I would not feel so compelled…I hope that makes sense.
So we’ll have a couple more meetings and interviews and such, and perhaps begin sometime in September if it all works out.I’ll let Christy fill you in on the meeting with the lawyer…
Oh, and I forgot to mention, dispite the fact that Lady in the Water bombed at the box office, it was an incredible movie. M. Night Shyamalan is a very deep and profound storyteller/movie maker, I am sad to see that the masses cannot appreciate that. In my opinion, there are few better than him right now in the movie making business. I have a GREAT deal of respect for him as an artist. I loved it, and so did Christy. In fact, it’s her favorite movie of the summer so far.

I, for one, want to go around tooting my horn.
Were you wearing Christy’s green flip flops while you were tooting? Just asking is all. And no you do NOT sound to controlling or egotistical……your very girfted so just say it loud and say it proud…just don’t toot…can farts really make a horn toot?
Re the Valoats question:
To make a horn toot, you need the correct embouchure. Embouchure is a French term referring to the way in which you hold your mouth- shape, muscle tone, etc. I’m not sure if there is an equivalent em-butt-ure that would work… I’m sure Heidi would be willing to tell you- she calls it like she sees it!
^^NICE one Scotlas…
I hope this will be the job you’ve been waiting for, Daniel. Can’t wait for tomorrow night – see you guys then!

Wow, I hope you get the job. Those guys don’t know what they are missing by not having you as a worship pastor…tell them to give me a call, I’ll set them straight for you
jk. But yeah, I hope you get the position, and I hope you bless them as much as you blessed us at midway. Good luck!!
