starting of daily blogs (8/17/09)

A lot of people are doing "vlogs" now on youtube. I am not really famous and all, and I don't really care for people reading/seeing my blogs, I just feel I need to get them down some how, and I figured this is the safest way to do it without having to worry about losing it cause my laptop fries. Anyways, I am gonna starting trying to do daily blogs and if someone reads them, great, if not, oh well, its for me not them anyways.

Sunday's have to to be my favorite day of the week. I get to wake up semi late (9 A.M.) which is an improvement for the week days and even Saturday's. I honestly like Sunday's cause I get to go to church, hang out with all the cool people there, as well as all the cool kids. I love being the Service Leader during my church's first service. Service Leader means I get to go around and make sure everything is running fine, fix and problems, interact with the other volunteers as well as the kids. Today we took our second attempt at making the teen ministry hype up the kids during their service...it was a fail again, but I feel it is only a matter of time before we get the kids and the other teens comfortable being in the same room together. For me, its natural now. I have been working around kids for the past 4 and a half years at my church, on and off. My 6th grade year I started volunteering in the childrens ministry at a stage hand, 7th grade I left the church for a few months, came back running a camera, then was asked to start up with the new campus and help lead in the children's ministry again. I love running camera's, and doing anything to do with filming, but I have a great passion for helping out with kids. Mainly because when I was young, I had an awesome leader in the church watching over me, and encouraging me that I could do whatever I put my mind to. He now has become my leader in church, and I am now working in the same ministry as him. His name is Jeff Skinner, and never shall I forget him. Not just because he has got to be one of the biggest kids in the world (the guy has a sense of humor like a 11 year old, its great!), but because he always backed me when no one else would. He has got to be the only reason I have made it so far so fast in the Church, and has a lot to do with why I have the confidence of starting up my own business. I don't really see him much any more because he is at the other campus, so I am not sure how well we click still (due to the lack of seeing each other), but I still find him to be a swell guy and lover serving with him on the occasion that we are at the same campus together. Anyways, back to today, normal Sunday other than having the teens in the area. Got to hang out with the crazy elementary kids, get trampled on by the boys, and kicked and punched by the girls. Yep, typical Sunday. Got home, and did what I love to do every Sunday after church, CATCH UP ON SLEEP! It was honestly much needed this week. I have been spending long hours working...well work, plus finishing up an exam for school that I found out I didn't send to them...woops, plus editing a video for a video shoot I did in Jekyll Island for a karate tournament. Its actually been quite fun working on the video, and I am quite hyped about showing it to the organizers. If only I had better software and equipment to edit it on. Also I have been working on getting advertisers for the tournament next year so we can raise the money for the equipment to broadcast it live. We need any where from eight to ten thousand dollars, just to get the basics...ouch! Should be fun to plan. Anyways, its now 12:36 Monday morning, lol, but I wanted to get my first post up. Glad to be blogging again, I feel I have been long over due for this!
