Another Semester Completed
I am happy to report that I have made it through another semester. I now have 70 credits completed – including lessons and pre-requisite courses. I have 33 credits more to finish my MDiv Worship.
Musically it’s been a good year, I have progressed – I have led worship from keys while singing – both solo and doing rhythm piano with a praise band. 
Lee Anne (worship leader/mentor) has also agreed to teach me to play the electric bass over the summer, and hopefully I will take drum lessons sometime in the next year.
My goal is to finish up my music courses in 2008-2009. I have six more theology classes to complete the year after, which could be done either online, or on campus. I am not taking any classes this summer.
My hours at Gymboree Play & Music have greatly increased, which means I get to enjoy spending lots of time getting paid to play with the 0-5yr old set. I’m very happy to be there more. I also will be volunteering at The Attic at Southern (like goodwill as far as donations go, but FREE to shop, for seminary families), and will finally complete training and start volunteering regularly with Home of the Innocents.
George has also created a Character Education Program that we will be performing together at local camps and YMCAs.
Next fall I will be taking Applied Ministry and Integrative Seminar, alongside Music since 1900, and an ensemble. I am doing Applied Ministry at my current church, Highland Vineyard, which is sweet! I will be able to keep almost all of my hours at Gymboree, and will substitute 4-6 days a month in order to pay for classes.
On another note, this site will probably get an overhaul at some point – streamlining and rearranging, mostly. It is turning out to be more a website with some blogging than a true blog. And I still really need to fold my music into everything.
