I am a professional musician, worship leader, small business owner, and freelance writer with a chemical engineering degree. But that's just my resume; my profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.
Sadly, because they're different services. How great if I could just do the same thing twice. But I have the band at 9:30, and it's just me and my guitar at 11:15. Some 9:30 songs can't be done at 11:15 because I don't have drums and things. That, plus, I have more responsibility over worship stuff at 11:15, so sometimes I need to help plan the children's message, confessions, activities done around tables (this service isn't in the pews) - that sort of thing. At 9:30 I'm strictly responsible for music.
The bummer is, 11:15 isn't taking off. So it feels like a lot of work for very few (if any) people each week. That might be part of what's sapping my enthusiasm.

Yesterday was supposed to be my day to get things done, because I was supposed to finish lessons early. It just didn't happen, and I'm about to start getting busy again. *shrug* I got plenty of sleep for a change, so that's good.
