Well, my vacation for February/March in Canada has been confirmed, so I will be coming home for a month! I'm quite excited by this… by the time I fly out, it will have been more than two years since I left home (which was at about 3 AM on New Years Day 2008), and over a year since I saw (most) of my family down here in Australia. It's too bad I wasn't able to get home for Christmas… that would be fun… oh well.
I have posted a few songs that were recorded when I played for “Live Off The Deck” at our Family Night Barbecue a couple weeks ago… check them out by clicking on the MySpace link to the right!
Other than that… a bunch of us have started studying Ephesians over the next two or three weeks, led by Jonathan. It's great. It's interesting studying multiple books at the same time… I'll be focusing on Ephesians while Jonathan is teaching on it, but having just finished Romans and still in Phillipians, it's interesting to see the parallels and differences.
I've been working on editing a music video for our music team at Youth Street. One of the guys wrote a funny song and so we spent a large part of last saturday recording it and shooting a video for it. I'm not sure if it will be put up on Youtube eventually or not, though. We're also doing a “So Youth Street Can Dance” (think So You Think You Can Dance for Youth Street) which I'll be helping out with as far as media stuff.
Oh, the July DTS is graduating, too! That happens on Friday morning… grad day is always a pretty good day. I like the sushi. The morning is usually a bit stressful, as we set up all our equipment for grad and have to get it working. The frustrating part is usually getting the web streaming going… if all goes well, though, you will be able to view the graduation on our website at http://www.ywamrto.org/index.php! There is a list of times so that you can tune in at the appropriate time.
Yup, so that's pretty much it for right now. Been jamming a bit with another guy here on base again as far as music goes… even learned a bit of Christmas music (which might shock some of you who know my stance on most Christmas music
). I'm hoping still to get a little more involved in the music ministry here, and perhaps even in the operation of the recording studio. We'll see what happens!
Finally… if you could remember in your prayers to ask that God would really speak some clear direction into my life, I would appreciate it. It's a bit of a struggle with so many desires fighting each other in my spirit and in my body… I'm sure you all know what that's like!
