Ouachita Baptist was kind enough to create a 2hr training seminar this afternoon at 3:30pm. All are welcome, anyone on campus or willing to make the drive can come sit in, we'll be covering a broad spread of production materials, as well as a focused view of how to apply them at OBU's Refuge service. Beginners or professionals, come and either be blown away or laugh your head off, I'd love to see you there. :)

I believe it is going to be held in some sort of conference room near the campus Chick-Fil-A. Twitter, text or email me and I'll get you more exact directions.
I can't wait!
Laura and I are officially together forever! I let her do our first blog post as husband and wife. :) Here it is:
So much has happened in the last two months. We got married, moved into a new apartment, and started our senior year of college. Wait, what? We got married? YES! I got to marry my best friend and now I get to see him every day. The wedding was perfect. No uh-ohs or oops. We don't have any pictures yet, but we will get some posted when we do.
After the wedding, we went to Colorado for our honeymoon. It was so much fun. We had a great time of relaxing and enjoying being together. We didn't see each other for longer than two days at a time at any point during the summer so having a week to ourselves was nice.
When we got back, we came home to our new apartment in Arkadelphia. We had fun playing house for a week. It took me a few meals to figure out how our oven works. I had rolls flaming in the oven at one point, but I haven't burnt anything since then!
Once school started, real life started,too. Studying, tests, work. But I get to go through it all with my best friend and we couldn't be any happier!

My tithe is always really spuratic, because I am on the road nearly every weekend, which only allows me to be at my home church here in Bentonville a few times a quarter. And when I am here I usually come in in a whirlwind and forget to add up my tithe to have it prepared that Sunday. I miss it and miss it and miss it then finally realize good grief I have GOT to get this tithe to the church. Add it up, it's always a much deal than it would be because it's so many weeks built up. However, always give out of joy.
I realized I hadn't tithed in forever so I went back to the last time I tithed and began adding up all the income deposits into my Checking account since then, did the math and the amount was, well let's call it seven dollars.
Well that's cool but "seven dollars" is a lot of money right now. I am being a baby, but, the first month's rent, the second month's rent, the bills for both months in our new apartment. Plus the honeymoon, which is not a small amount. But, forget all of that. The point that seven dollars is a lot of money is that in two weeks Laura and I will merge our accounts and we'll go over the balances and things together and when we get to whoa what is this check for seven dollars a month ago and that's cool that it's for that but why in the world did you wait so long and let it build up we just got married we don't have a lot and you would have given it anyway but just in a big chunk like that right before the wedding what in the world that drained the account and now the first three months of our marriage are going to be extremely tight financially because you...
Laura just texted me. She said hey just letting you know I went up to my bank and closed out my account, I'm taking that balance over to your bank for it to be in our account together now.
How much was in your account? Like, how much did you just pull out that is about to be deposited into "my" account "our" account that I forgot you were going to do that and was just counting dollars and we would have been ok but it would have been a stress and how much did you say that check was for that you were putting in because every little bit counts and I appreciate it and everything but...
Oh it's seven dollars.
God is, my provider. But now he has already begun to make himself known that he will be OUR provider. Forever. And we will trust in HIM to provide for US, not on me. He has always protected me and he will protect us. Beginning August 6th it is my responsibility to provide for Laura, together, I will provide for us as a family. But I am an idiot. God will be the provider. :D
Took an opportunity a week ago on a job. Looked like about 2 days of shooting, 3 days in post. Asked Laura on it because we shot 2 weeks before the wedding, plus the post, that put me pretty tight close to the wedding. She said she had the stuff under control and for me to take the job.
Anyways it's a much larger job than what I realized. Which is great. Incredible. Wonderful I am so blessed to receive it. It has put me in a stress pinch before the wedding though.
Today I woke up. Today is day four. I re-evaluated yesterday that today would be one full day of editing and tomorrow I would do all the duplication, cool that's 5 days total on post now but cool. Today I woke up, the project was way farther along than I remember and was burning the first of 7 masters within an hour of getting to work.
Then I thought, I don't exactly keep 300+ blank materials around here to do these big jobs. Most of mine are 10-20, how in the world am I going to duplicate today?
Went back to the studio and in storage, left over from last fall: 350 blank discs, packaged up and waiting. How many do I need? Well let's see its
7 masters
times
what did they say they wanted?... oh yeah 50 copies each. 350. Praise glory and honor be unto God alone. He is my provider.
