|  Generally a happy day. Saw the house I'll be living in Nov/Dec in Smyrna. Rent-free! Woohoo! I'll only pay for utilities, which will be around $100 a month. It is a bit of a far drive, but you can't argue with no rent for two months. Still looking for a place / roommates as of Jan. 1, but I've got some time, no?
So overall it was a good day. Looking forward to the job hunt over the next couple weeks, as I keep working where I'm at!
Love y'all!

|  Ahh well - sitting here in the ENLI editing suite one more lonely night... Alas, I know the work that I'm putting my hands to will reach thousands if not millions, so it's no thang.
I am quite pleased -- someone in this office (I won't mention who) has a prerelease loaded on their (unnamed) computer of Mat Kearney's 'Bullet' album. I can't wait to see how this album does. He's amazing -- if you've not heard him sing, it's kinda like Everlast *formerly of rap group House Of Pain* but better tone/melodic voice and a little more organic. Is 'organic' to cliché? anyway - Mat is a GREAT great person, and he's coming at you with a lot of wisdom on this album.
Other than the tunes - honestly - I guess I'm in a bit of a dry spot (figuratively speaking, of course). I stepped out into the freelance world, and am working 3 part time jobs to make ends meet. Luckily, 2 of three are church related so it's good being around the family, but I'd still like to be able to do more than just live check to check - making ends meet. I mean, I'm still able to give, live and love - but not having to worry about how bills are going to get paid when you sow that seed in faith - it's a tough call. I've been sowing into the Europe / Innsbruck, Austria plant for a while now, and even though it's going through a leadership change I really think God wants me to continue giving there. Maybe it's because I love the idea of going to Europe, and have always wanted to visit. I'm sure it's more than that, though. Europe is such a dark place - and I know there are so many people my age wandering around there without a destiny or plan for really changing the world.
I guess the other reason I'm bummed is that I really want to go to L.A. for the A, C & E conference, but my budget doesn't realistically allow for that this next month. I've always thought Nashville should have the next AC&E chapter, and was hoping to have a hand in it's birthing. I think I'm called to that field of work, and I know there are a TON of people that need to hear some good news in those areas.
I also have no idea where I'm going to live at the end of this month. With budget in mind, I either need to have roommates or REALLY cheap rent - one or the other. We'll see what happens. I'm in an apartment with Isong Isong and Ps. Mel Calingo right now. I love those guys! But it wasn't meant to be -- Isong's getting married in Dec. (I'm dj-ing his wedding) and Mel's already got plans.
Looking forward to the weekend though -- Shane Nasby and Angela Graham are tying the knot, and I'm spinning the tunes. It'll be outside at the Franklin property, weather permitting, and it should be a beautiful and fun day. That reminds me - I need to call them... guess finding out what their special songs will be would be a good thing to know!
Okay - enough rambling. Type to you soon!

| Ok I'm not going to get all fancy on you guys -- it'll basically just be a blog-eat-blog world if we all do this thing simultaneously. I'll eventually post some engaging witticisms, but for the meantime, enjoy the blankness that is.
