So we begin

// January 10th, 2009 // Thoughts

After some degree of patient encouragement from a few close friends, I’ve made it my goal to begin writing about my life as a Christ follower.  The things learned, problems solved, successes and failures are largely related to my occupation as a technical director at Blue Ridge Community Church in Forest, VA.

It’s difficult for me to consider myself a “real” technical director because I lack formal training, except that of a BA in Business Marketing.  After high school I attended a small community college in North Carolina to study Electronics but lost interest while taking the ‘Art of Soldering’ with a wildly eccentric professor who shattered my concept of what it meant to be excited about making electrical connections.  I then went on to work under an electrician and there learned that I would rather not crawl into the places required of me.  After failed attempts at performing classical guitar, then electric and acoustic guitar, and most recently the mandolin, I feel that God has stumbled me upon the perfect intersection of my failures…if we can consider them failures at all.

I don’t consider myself extremely technical but I do enjoy solving problems, helping make things less stressful and more enjoyable for technical volunteers, and most enjoyably, watching God work in and through the service of each person on the team!  I look forward to seeing where this new blog adventure takes us!
