			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow what a long day!  Sundays are long and caffeine filled.  I hope you guys will let me wine for a little bit.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m a big baby (I know that&#8217;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 <a href="http://origincommunitychurch.com/" target="_blank">Origin</a>, in Rocklin, CA, which I had agreed to prior to the offer that I took at Bayside.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>But the night isn&#8217;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&#8217;s are long and I am making it longer.  I am so tired that I&#8217;m doing that thing where you just re-read, over and over, a line that you have written because you&#8217;re too tired to function.  Good Night Friends!</p>
