It's Friday...

So for the past few months my Friday's have been crazy and this one was no different.

I have at least 4 conference calls each Friday for my J O B and sometimes 6. On the days I have six my schedule is as follows:

9am - 10am
10:15am - 10:45am
11:00am -12:00pm
1:00pm - 2:00pm
2:15pm - 2:45pm
3:00pm - 4:00pm

Today was one of those days. On the days I have four calls I don't have the 10:15am and 2:15pm calls which are for new reps and usually there are no one on those calls but I have to sit on a conference number for about 5 or 10 minutes just to make sure no one shows up. It is a very lonely feeling when that happens.

On Fridays I try to use the time in between calls to play around with the Adobe suite(After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) and some other stuff like Reason, Pro Tools, and my latest addition to my toys the wonderful 15" MacBook. I am still in the process of loading Pro Tools and Reason on the Mac but will have to eventually by the Adobe Suite for Mac when I can scrounge up a couple thousand dollars, unless one of you who are reading this want to be super generous and sling me a few G's to get that started.

Here is my latest test on a series Revolution Church is starting on September 20th. This is just a test and more than likely the finished product will look nothing like this. I have been trying new things and most of the time realize that it looks terrible so I have to ask some design pals of mine for help.

Moral = Go to college!!!

Here is the link. Hope you enjoy and let me know your opinions...PLEASE!!!!

Have a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend.

Quick Post: Prayer Needed

Please be in prayer tonight for the Fuse students at Newspring. I am on my way out to go and help with Audio/Video at the Greenville Campus.

Be also in Prayer about the Revolution Church Preview Service that is happening THIS Sunday August 2nd at the Hilton on Haywood Rd. in Greenville, SC. Get Directions here.

Invite your friends, Family and even the people you don't like(they need Jesus too). It will definitely be an awesome time of worship as Tyler and Landen Beemer bring their band and we are able to use the sound system that we are in the process of paying for(could still use some financial help on that).

Chris will be speaking on Authenticity which we should all strive for. God Bless and I hope to see you at the service this Sunday.

Invite people by email from this page.

It's been a long time...

Hey blog readers...if there are any.

Just wanted to post a quick blog about the Revolution Church preview service coming up THIS Sunday at The Hilton in Greenville, SC @ 6:30pm. We are super pumped about getting to serve and be apart of what God is trying to do in GVegas.

I am also pumped about the setup for this service. I went to Hancock Fabrics the other day a bought so "SPANDEX", not for me to wear to but to make a stage design...here is what it looked like in my living room. :-)



Probably going to go back and buy up a lot more of that, maybe in different colors as well and just play around with it.

We also have ordered some lights and I had a good friend of mine loan me some stuff to use at the service and maybe even purchase for Revolution.

Hope everyone can make it or just be in prayer for everyone in attendance.

Talk at ya soon.

Massive Thanks



I am still ecstatic over the Revolution Church Preview Service that was held at the Hilton in Greenville, SC on June 7th. It is amazing to see so many people show up to help and do God's work. There are many, many, many people I would like to thank I will probably miss a lot of them but just know that if you were there and helped with any part of the service you are appreciated.





First I need to thank my Mom and Dad who will help with anything I am involved in no questions asked just because I am their son. It is an awesome feeling to have supportive parents and people like that around you.





Joe Miloche, I cannot say enough about Joe and how he came in took ownership of the lights and getting them setup and running them throughout the service. It was such a blessing to not have to worry if the lights were going to be setup right or even setup at all.





Skrilla (Josh Wofford) helped a ton as well. From getting all of my stuff, out, setup and running to controlling Media Shout during the service.





Chad Smith and Travis Williams helped get the screen setup and Travis also helped with the house lights which kept me or Skrilla from having to run back and forth to do so.





Hopefully for our next preview service which is at the Greenville Hilton on July 12th, 2009 at 6:30pm we will have the Palmetto Ballroom which has touch screen digital lighting versus a scatterbrained, no comprehensive reasoning, rotary dimmers. (it was terrible)

Invite your friends and family to the next service HERE.





I also cannot give enough credit to Tyler Beemer who brought the sound system, which ROCKED. He gave us a FANTASTIC DEAL. His business is Audio Arsenal and their phone number is (864.477.2523). Give him a call to rent sound equipment, and him and his brother Landen also have a band and can run sound as well. (Good Peeps.)





To all of the Volunteers that had any part of any part of the service, kids, greeting, parking or whatever you did





THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

Warning: This may offend you...Not my fault

So first of all I am absolutely relieved that I have this massive weight off my chest. I will not go into details but for a while now myself and my wife have been praying about things that were going on at a place that we frequent. We highly disagreed with the leadership and expressed that but was told that that was the leadership and they were in charge. I try to not compare these types of places to a business but in some ways you have to because in order for a business to succeed you need to have good planning and leadership and workers with the right attitude and vision.

If you have someone that works for you and you know down deep that what they are doing is costing your business money you are not going to say "Oh well, I am going to keep them since I know them and even though they are costing me money and may make my business fail I will keep them because of my personal relationship." BOO CRAP!! If your business was going under you would get rid of that person even if they were your Momma. And if you wouldn't then you would be one broke IDIOT.

I cannot tell you how much it bothers me that someone will make a decision to NOT do something that someone has planned and put a lot of effort into that will bring money or people to a business because their slack business partner who hasn't shown up to meetings and decided to do something smaller that would attract less people or make less money because they are not man enough to step up and do what is RIGHT.

I really put my heart and SOUL, literally, into this place and now I get discarded from "Staff" decisions and conversations because I am apart of someone who is trying to do the right thing.

I know this is spuratic and not making much sense to a lot of people but I had to get some things off of my chest. I probably shouldn't even post this but I am not someone who hides my feelings to spare anothers. The church shouldn't do that either. We should stand up and say who and why we are doing this and if you do not like it then take it up with him. We are not here to please everyone. We are here to spread the word that Jesus died on the cross for you and me and that is it. We are going to do that the way we know how whether you like it or not and we are not going to change because of your preference in genre of music.

When a church starts to try and keep the people that are already saved and members and stops trying to reach out and save the unsaved that is why churches fail. That is why churches don't grow and that is why so many people are "Church Shopping."

People nowadays think it is all about them and that is why I am a big fan of Newspring Church. It was stated by Howard Frist, campus pastor of Newspring Greenville that while you attend Newspring or are thinking of attending, then everything we do is for YOU. Once you get saved and/or join Newspring then everything you do is for the others that are not a member or more importantly not saved. Once you cross the line and become a member of the team. it is not about you anymore.

I know I am ranting but it has just been a crazy week that has taught me a lot about a lot of people and also gotten me down because you get into a groove and you think you can settle in and enjoy the ride. That is another thing that God has shown me this week as well. Chris Lewis put this very well one day in his journal. God spoke to him and said "I have put you into uncomfortable situations....Expect more of that."

You know what I am beginning to realize maybe I am made to be in those situations. I used to think that life was all about experiences and you learn from your mistakes. I have realized that life is about God and he will put you through things you can use as a ministry later on in life.

Listen, If I have offended anyone in this blog, then you are guilty. I am going to bed.

Unleash (Post 2)

Hey Guys,
Super stoked about my time at Unleash 2009. I want to first thank Newspring Church for putting it on. The two main sessions were AWESOME and worship filled. Never can get to much of God speaking through Perry Noble at me. Check out this snippet of mine and Chris Lewis' day at Unleash 2009.

I also have posted some Flickr Pics of Unleash too.
