Change is Relevant

July 25, 2007

I feel as though I fell off the bandwagon with my lack of posts. This summer has gone by faster than I had hoped or expected. I am down to my final days here at RELEVANT. I have gotten to know a great group of people that I am sad to say goodbye to. We have already lost a few faces from our group, which is a bummer. But, now we have to prepare ourselves in losing two more this Friday. We have made great connections with each other and it is going to be weird to leave such a great group of friends and coworkers.

In better news, RELEVANT has been quite busy. Print deadline is pretty much sitting on our and getting ads and other design elements done is a tedious task. It’s a great issue if I can boast. It seems like if there isn’t one project that has to be done five minutes ago there is another one waiting in the wings. Last Friday Hannah and I went downtown to take pictures for an ad for a really cool study bible! It was interesting. Not only did we get weird looks from pedestrians, but when I was telling my friends that I modeled a bible they laughed. “How do you model a bible?” Many ways my friends, many ways! We were able to take some other fun shots as well!

And Kelly is right about summertime. I too fall into that trap of not necessarily putting my faith on the back burner, but becoming blah with it. I seem to find myself in more Christian environments than secular these days. I go to a private Christian college in Missouri and here at RELEVANT everyone is Christian, followed by my trip home back to my church community. It can be easy to fall into that mode that you are simply “doing” religion rather than enjoying what God is doing within your life.

Well with only 5 more business days at Relevant I will try to post a bit more and update on anything of importance or randomness.

Memorable Moments at Relevant:
1.) Adam riding the bike through the office
2.) Adam running through the office with an American Flag to “Born in the USA”
3.) Lunch time conversations…usually range from children’s books to shopping to wedding plans to random dislikes and likes about life. Brings me back to high school days! (minus the whole not finding a seat or terrible cafeteria food)
4.) Random blasting of fun songs at the right moment.
5.) Working on the Hope in the Dark wall
6.) Meeting the interns and making new friends…
