Sundays

Wow what a long day! Sundays are long and caffeine filled. I hope you guys will let me wine for a little bit.

I took a position in Placerville at a Bayside Church plant about three months ago. Coming home to my bed has never been as wonderful of an experience as it is now; I have never needed sleep on Sunday nights like I do now.

So I’m a big baby (I know that’s what your thinking) but hear me out. In addition to starting Bayside, a man by the name of Mark South had, at the same time, asked me to team up with him at a Church plant that he was starting called Origin, in Rocklin, CA, which I had agreed to prior to the offer that I took at Bayside.

Why are you tired on these Sunday evenings and how do you lead worship for two Churches? Glad you asked! It is quite simple: Bayside meets in the morning and Origin meets in the evening.

My Sunday routine! I get up at 6:00—ok 6:20 after hitting snooze 4 times—and head to Bayside after the morning craziness of getting 4 people ready in one bathroom, AWESOME! Mid day is filled with, finding, learning, and sending songs for Origin that night (yeah, that can be done mid week but I am a huge procrastinator). At 4:30, I wake my family up from their naps, (jealous that I didn’t get one because I procrastinated) and we head to Rocklin—we are always late. The service starts at 6ish and we are never done before 8:30 because we have way too much fun.

But the night isn’t done there. It takes us at least an hour to leave Origin, and then we usually hang out with our cool Puerto Rican friends, Adam and Coppelia, until 11:00. But then I come home and blog about it. Genius! Yeah, Sunday’s are long and I am making it longer. I am so tired that I’m doing that thing where you just re-read, over and over, a line that you have written because you’re too tired to function. Good Night Friends!
