Categotry Archives: How I am

In a few days, it will all be over. (Or not…but at least the immediate campaigning will stop.)

I wrote yet another huge blog post that’s still in my drafts–an open letter of sorts, kind of a last-ditch appeal to the evangelical church to rethink their choice for President–but I didn’t post it, either here or on Facebook, largely because I didn’t see the point. Most people’s minds are made up, and no one’s really listening to each other anymore. The divide is wide, the breach is deep, and it will take some time to heal when this is all over. Suffice it to say that this election cycle has exposed some very disturbing traits in the western Christian community, so as dormant as this here blog has been, I might have a few things to say in the coming days. 🙂

So…haven’t been here in a couple of months or so. However, I’ve been quite busy, so on this beautiful summer morning while I have a little time, I thought I’d give a brief update to folks who are still keeping up with me here.

For anyone who is still tuned in to this here blog…just checking in to say I’m still here. Just been busy working on some things.

What things? Patience. But soon…

It’s been a fairly good season, but it’s also become apparent that our family is entering another time of transition, and I don’t know where everything is going to land. What I do know is that I’m feeling a deep nudge, even a sense of urgency, to work on music and to learn the skills behind composing/orchestrating, particularly for film and other media. I feel like opportunities are coming, and I need to be ready for them when they arrive.

I haven’t written on this here blog in several weeks…

…”Thank you, Captain Obvious”…

…so I wanted to check in to say I haven’t fallen off the planet or anything.

In fact, I’ve been working on some stuff, some of which should be unveiled sometime in the next couple of weeks. Just taking my time to make sure everything’s right.

It’s actually a pretty exciting time for me, personally. After several years of seeking, searching, waiting, feeling kind of lost, (and as it turns out, detoxing), I’m finally beginning to feel like I have a track to run on, accompanied by rested feet that are ready to run.

Hi, reader(s),

Just a quick check-in to let you know that I haven’t fallen off the earth. Got a lot of stuff on my plate this month, lots of irons in the fire, but it’s a temporary thing that should be resolved in early June.  I’ll drop by here as I can over the next couple of weeks, but if you’re following this blog–keep following.  I’ll be back with details about some cool stuff as soon as the dust settles.

It’s been a little bit of time since I gave a personal update about what’s going on with my family’s continuing journey–so since I’m a bit overloaded with work at the moment and don’t seem to have anything else pressing to talk about this morning, I figured now was as good a time as any. 🙂

I’ve found myself really asking God some important questions over the past week or so. My heart has been stirred on a few levels because I’ve come to realize that I’ve fallen into a bit of a rut.

Ruts are sneaky sons of guns, especially for creatures of habit like me. I enjoy having a routine, but after awhile, you look up from what you’re doing and realize the rut is dug so deep that all you can see are the walls of dirt on either side of you.

This blog post falls into the category of a personal update, but there are some interesting points of note along the way that probably tie into the bigger discussion on this here blog.

Many of you know (and if you didn’t, I’m telling you now) that I’ve been working furiously with The Director over the past couple of months to finish up an original score and soundtrack for his short film, “Jeune Fille.” Not really that I was coming from behind–it was just my turn to get busy. 🙂 This film project became a family effort, and was probably the most ambitious thing that any of us have ever done. By the same token, because we saw the potential for this film early on, and the kind of attention it could receive, we knew the stakes were high and that we couldn’t cut corners, but that we must give 150 percent from beginning to end.
