These past 2 days we have been filming my buddy Cameron Jaymes of Jaymes Reunion on top of a roof in San Francisco.  It was a great view as you can see from the quick pictures I took using my iPhone and a cool little app called CameraBag.  We were filming a couple of acoustic versions of the songs for them to use for different things that they might need them for.  I think they turned pretty good for a quick little last minute project.  I used just a single camera and just ran his mic and guitar direct into it.

Well tonight went to the Jaymes Reunion show at the RedHouse in Walnut Creek.  It is a good place for a small family venue show.  What made it even cooler was the fact that Jaymes Reunion (left) and Derek Walker (the holy figure on the right) were playing there. Great shows and good times. Tried to take a couple of good shots on the iPhone, one I had to take from Derek’s twitter.

Well it is time to start posting some more design work on this thing, which I have a long list of… ok here we go!!  Cameron of Jaymes Reunion wanted to have some cool merch to have for his show he plays at so I cam up with a Poster, Shirt and Sticker (they are in order):

I thought this video was cool.  I liked how all the visuals tied in with the song.

Oh yeah. Vimeo is pretty cool as well.

It has taken me a little bit to process through last week and then into the weekend. I still am.  The biggest thing that I noticed is how God prepares you to here a message being taught that weekend at church. It started Tuesday as I was reading Hebrews to kind of prepare myself for bible study the next day.  We were getting ready to dive into chapter 8. The writer of Hebrews is trying to show these new christian who are back sliding into the old way and traditions.  What has been sticking with me is the whole concept of Jesus as the high priest and how He brought this whole new way to forgiveness. He took this messed up system and made it easy. Took away the flaws and tore down the veil.

Then my pastor gets up and tells us about how before we can forgive we need to forgive ourselves. Suddenly everything from the days before aligned and I realized I rarely seem to seek forgiveness for myself, or really even ask.  If Jesus came and made is so easy, why is forgiveness something so hard to do?

Now as we head into the weekend I am excited to hear the next part. To forgive others.  As I looked ahead and started to pray through it, when I think about it on the surface I don’t think I hold onto things and I am quick to forgive. In my heart I know of a couple of things I need to forgive someone of, and some of them are not even big things!  Maybe I am still processing it, maybe it is not the right time yet, or maybe I have become comfortable in that bitterness and no longer feel the weight of it holding me down.

I will just have to wait and listen.
