Meeting my blogging heroes… part 1

By on June 26, 2008 in Blog

Tonight I had the opportunity to meet via skype one of my blogging heroes.  We did an interview for next weeks radio show and will be available in its entirety as the next episode of the podcast.  It was a really great interview and was revealing about blogging, where you draw the line between where you keep things public and private.  It is talks like this that keep me inspired to blog.  This guy has inspired many of todays bloggers and asks the magic question in this video.

Weekend recap..

By on June 24, 2008 in Blog

This was a great weekend.  It started on Friday night.  At 9:00 PDT was the debut of my first work on an FM radio station.  I am doing what is known as voice tracking, and that basically means that I pre record my voice spots in advance and they go into automation software an they hit the air at the regularly scheduled time.  Unlike Cross Driven Radio, I do not have control of the music that is played.  It is fun to do and I will be doing it for as long as they will have me.

On Saturday, I spent all day at church.  I was working as hospitality coordinator for the God-Song 2008 Songwriters Conference.  I was responsible for organizing the food and snacks for the whole day.  For breakfast it was a standard continental breakfast, and for lunch it was everybody’s favorite, Chic Fil-A.  I had snacks out all day while the conference was going on.

It was at lunch that my wife Kathy and I experienced just how good God can be.  When we had first gotten married, we had become friends with a couple down the hall, Susanna and Michael, after a year or so, they had moved out of the building and we had lost contact.  It was at lunch on Saturday that we were reunited.  We got to see their kids, and they met my daughter for the first time.  Some would say its a small world, which compared to the kingdom of God it is, but He brought us to the same place for a reason, I’m sure of it.  On one of my breaks, I went and joined the family and friends for a celebration for 2 very special babies.  It was good to get to spend some time and get to know some of these families better.

Sunday was kind of a busy day.  We went to Worship at 10:00, did Sunday chores and went to a 79th Birthday party for a real good friend.  I also found out that I was selected to participate in the 40 Day Fast.  Being a new blogger, I am super excited to do this.  More on this later..

Work of God

By on June 17, 2008 in Blog

You know, being more of a listener and not so much of a talker (except on the radio of course) I have always heard the phrase”its a God thing” or “it was a God moment”. I have never experienced anything like that before, so that is the topic of today’s post.

If you follow me on facebook or twitter, you would know that I posted that I was working my final Red Cross Waterfront Festival this past weekend. The other multitude of experiences from the weekend will be the subject of a future blog post. Trust me, some really good stuff to talk about..

My job for the weekend was to be the runner. The runner’s job is to play chauffeur to all of the bands coming in, driving them around from the airport, to the hotel, to the venue, and back again. Being a part time concert promoter I know this is always one of the hardest volunteer positions to fill because you don’t want it to be the “super fan”, the Mr. or Mrs Talky Pants or the person who doesn’t know their way around town. So, I fit the bill pretty well for this weekend, but I digress. Continue Reading →
