I will answer all questions as quickly as possible. If you have a question that is more personal, e-mail it to me at parkerbunch7@juno.com. peace out people.

ROCK ON!

this is the guitar that I play at church now. it is cool.

Sunday Morning

       I got to worship the Lord in a new way at church. It was fun, but required a bunch of work. Well, to get right down to it, I played guitar for my church's worship service. About 3-4 weeks ago I got myself an electric guitar and just started playing. I don't have a teacher, but guitar isn't that hard to figure out on your own. My pastor's wife, who is also our worship leader and resident musical genius, heard me fooling around on the old, junky classical guitar I had at home. She asked me if I would like to play in church and I laughed. But she was serious and told me that I could pull it off if I just tried. So I got a guitar and practiced about 2 hours a day for 3 weeks. This past Sunday it was my family's turn to set up in church so we got there early and I got to practice for about a half hour before church. This was good because my Pastor's wife wanted to play a bunch of random songs that I hadn't never played or practiced before. In fact, the first song we played she was still trying to figure out. I looked at the chords and smiled to myself. I was completely lost. But somehow, 30 min later, we were up there jammin. In all honesty, though I am sure that I made mistakes, it sounded good. It was just me on electric guitar and her on keyboard, but we had fun and I learned a lot. It really wasn't about the music anyway. All that I was doing was worshipping God through the use of a talent that He gave me. I was asked to play again in the coming Sundays and I hope to make it a habit.

        This experience also gave me a new and better perspective of what music leaders have to go through. For all of you out there that play an instrument in church, I salute you. It is a lot of work and sacrifice, especially for the people who have to coordinate it to make it sound anywhere near decent. It helps if it is something that you really enjoy doing, but I also know some people have this thing called stage fright that they have to conquer, and I want to say thank you to the folks out there that overcome their shyness to share their talent with the rest of us.

In short, I had a lot of fun playing in church and I encourage those of you who have a talent, no matter what it is, to use your talents to God's glory. I promise you won't be dissapointed!   

just sitting here

at this very moment in time I am sitting in my computer class bored out of my mind.   there is nothing to do, so, maybe I should tell a story. but what should the story be about? hmmm. . . no, no story. it is too much work. what about a cartoon? yeah, why not.

this is my life as of this moment. yep. boring. in a little over a week it won't be boring, though. I am gonna visit someone I know, someone special. It is only for a day, but a day with her is enough to put a smile on my face for weeks. I miss her. but God has a plan, and a reason for distance. I trust Him, for it hasn't been an easy path to where I am now. But suffering is the way He helps me to grow,teaching me to lean on Him. Though the future He shows me, He does not reveal all the details on how to get there, just instructions at a need to know basis. Faith is what I hold to. No matter the outcome, I am content to be in His will.

ps. just a note to that girl I miss: I miss you more.
