Time for an update
I’m happy, but if you want that story you’ll have to ask me personally.
Work plugs along. I’ve been working for pretty much the whole summer on a major video project that is just about complete. Once finished, it will be a first for the Milwaukee Synod, and I think something other synods could use in their own settings and contexts as well. We’ll just see how that goes.
I’m also working on planning our winter symposium theological conference, and I’m excited to announce it will be at Carthage. Since I started, I’ve been trying to get a major-scale synod event at the college because there is far too much contempt between both the school and church. So that’s exciting. It’s also going to be a damn good conference, if I do say so myself.
At my own church, I’m working on some communications-related projects as well. Recently we installed video equipment to record services, and I’m helping to envision what other purposes this technology could aid. Additionally, I’m getting more involved in Plymouth activities as well — I know, I know… I just don’t know how to stop!
Overall, it’s been a good summer. Many ups, many downs — and it feels like June was a lifetime ago! But I think now that the dust has cleared it was a good, growing experience.
