  • Talladega Nights was hilarious! I totally recommend it for anybody ready for a laugh. Will Farrell is the best!

    Bryan Ruan's funeral/memorial service is in Munson Chapel on Tuesday August 8th, at 11AM.

    I am passing this on because although I am not close enough
    to a Pat & Oscars to frequent their eatery as often as I used to, I still
    love their tasty food and excellently casual atmosphere. Please use this
    coupon, and when you do, think of me…

    Not too much happening right now. I am meeting the staff
    this Friday night at the church I will most likely be working at in the fall. I
    will miss the big church excitement of Yorba Linda Friends, but will enjoy
    leading worship again and will enjoy leading people again. Christy will get a
    chance to direct a kids choir again, which she loves, and I think the most
    exciting part of this place is that they want change. Change and progress are
    the things that bring me back to the plate. I love change. I love innovation and
    creativity. I love new ideas, and I guess, just the excitement of newness
    altogether. I despise the mundane, the status quo, the ordinary, the rut. I
    hate it. 

    However, I prefer to be in somewhat of a routine in my going
    about daily life. I know, weird. It’s a personality thing, and I’ve read about
    it and had it explained to me before, I just can’t remember exactly how to
    regurgitate it. I’m an ESTJ (Myers-Briggs). It’s just me.

    Nathaniel loves T-ball. Mike was going to come over last
    night to play with him, and when Mike changed it to tonight, Nathaniel was so
    sad he cried. We ended up playing with him for a while, but he was pretty
    heartbroken for a little bit. Our boys love their Uncle Mike.

    I also have a meeting next Tuesday with one of the coordinators
    of the Gala that I am directing next May in Irvine. I’m excited, it’s the first meeting
    where I’m sure we’ll discuss contracts, etc…I’ve been feeling great about this
    gig because of the opportunity to do exactly what I’m gifted to do. Not one
    thing about this scares me, it’s totally what I am educated and experienced
    in/at. I feel very privileged to have this opportunity.

    Along those lines, I have been really meditating on these
    verses, which I feel are important for a person like myself that is trying to
    be a professional musician. I just want to make sure that I never get focused
    on the wrong thing…it’s a very difficult balance.

    Psalm 119:36-37 (New International Version)

     36 Turn my heart toward your statutes
           and not toward selfish gain.

     37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
           preserve my life according to your word.
