Do you have "that thing" that you must do, but dislike doing?

I have a few of those tasks . . . one prominent one is programming moving lights. Yes, it is a school project. I have discovered through my educational adventure what I prefer doing is audio or video. Those are easy for me to understand. In those avenues I feel as though I can be creative and can come out with a good product in the end without much trial-and-error on my part.

Do not get me wrong, I respect people that do lighting, it is not something that I prefer to do. I do realize though in the future I will probably have to sit down and program lights for an event. Maybe it is an experience issue though. Maybe it has not become one of my preferred things to do because I have not learned quick and easy ways to maneuver the systems.

Tonight, I was able to take a few big steps forward in my programming for the project. I now have a good understanding through the functions of the console and the lights are working toward the song that I chose. I am keeping my head up though. I will get through it and when it all comes to an end, I can be proud of the programming that I have done.

A couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday night, I was able to experience Hillsong United at First Baptist Orlando. It was an amazing experience to see the collective body of Christ...some who may have never set foot in our worship center collaborate together and praise our Savior and Lord.

Before the show, I was able to help the crew setup for the event. I was surprised, the equipment they used I could have probably operated flawlessly. It is all of the same toys that I am learning in my study at Full Sail. It was mind boggling the amount of gear they brought into our venue for their performance.

The worship experience was wonderful. Even though that is my home church to worship at from week to week, it is always special to have other leaders come in to lead worship.

Lets hear from you . . . Who else attended a show from Hillsong United on their latest tour in the states?
