This is my first time blogging. As you can imagine, I am fairly excited. What could I say that might be read upon this interweb that might someday make a profound impact on some young child's heart? Might it be a steam of tangents that accidentally form something of great worth? Might it be something small to me but great to others? Might it be malarky? We'll see. We shall see.
The real reason I'm starting this now and hope to keep it going is to keep my life posted for the next ten weeks while I am here in Rockford, IL doing an intership with Heartland Community Church. It's a church of 8,000 people. It's kind of ridiculous how big it is but it doesn't have the same big feeling that most mega churches have. HCC has seven services in two different venues. That's right, they have two churches, two sanctuaries, seven services between the two of them. They tape all of the services and the first one is always live. Then, they take the DVD they used to tape the service, shoot it over to the other venue and play the sermon over video for a different congregation. Sometimes the sermon is live- sometimes taped. It's like a guessing game except there aren't funny people like Anita or Robert... well I suppose there proboably are those people but I just haven't met them yet (for all of you that missed that allusion to the popular guessing game, "Guess Who," that's what that was).
Anywho, I'm sitting in my host family's house in my bed right now. They too are nice people. It's just weird getting used to so many new things all the while not knowing where you fit in within any of it quite yet. This summer will be a growing experience to say the least. Not to mention, Mel and I are apart for a while and the time only grows longer. We'll be okay though so don't you worry-warts worry about it! You are all great. I'm going to go to bed. I love you all. There will be more interesting posts in the future- I promise.
