Hello Peoples.....
Well, my week was an interesting one.... I was supposed to go on a fishing trip with the family, to do some filming for a video we are making... well... the saturday before last (Nov. 26) I was feeling a little under the weather, nothing too major just a stuffy nose.... well, that night at 3 am or so, I suddenly felt really horrible. I woke up coughing and sneezing and then I couldn't breathe I wasso stuffed and gaging.... it was horrible... so the family took of Tuesday and I was in bed from Sunday to wednesday.... I played a couple games on my laptop wednesday-friday feeling much better than I had before. Thankfully, because I was supposed to be away, I didn't have to work so I was able to take the week to recover. I feel much better now, just a little tired and only a little stuffiness....
Yesterday (Sunday) I was finally able to go to a morning service at SCCC. It was awesome.... I talked to the music director, Lisa, after the service and found out quite a bit to do with the church's music. They have 3 different teams, because they have so many musicians. The team that played yesterday was "Team 2" featuring an amazing sax player (yes, sax, as in saxaphone). They also had a guy on keys, drums, bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and 3 backup singers. Lisa was leading the vocals. They really have the ability to do whatever style they want, whenever they want.... a lot of potential there. Lisa herself has a masters in music and is a talented songwriter. I'm looking forward to hopefully working with them in the future.... and it appears that she is too!
I also discussed with her about my college plans. Starting in february I'll be travelling on the train 4 days a week to go to college at Hillsong, at their Hills Campus. As a student I am also supposed to be involved with a church for weekend ministry. Usually this would be at Hillsong itself, however, in would be hard for me, added another 2 days of travelling each week. There is also another variable in this big situation... if it became too hard for me travelling to Hills for school, I can switch to their City Campus which is actually closer. Hills is more well known for their music department but the City Campus may be just as good. I'll have to play it by ear. Another advantage to the City Campus is that Lisa is friends with the music director there, theoretically making it easier to do my weekend ministry at SCCC rather than Hillsong (avoiding extra travel). Again, I will play it by ear and will know more once I go to enrolement in January.
Well that's all from AUS for now....
