*Start with car ride* Ah the kids… It’s quieter than usual. Probably because a lot of them couldn’t make it tonight. I hope that all of them are doing well. The usual cacophony seems to be absent from the usually chaotic car. At least the ride will be somewhat quiet this time and I won’t end up with a splitting headache. I hope everyone is doing okay… *Praise songs* I always found comfort in the praise part of service. A bunch of voices all singing praises with one sole focus. It’s odd that this sense of conformity doesn’t bother me. I always seem to feel another presence in the room that compels me to listen closely. A pull that breaks barriers between disbelief and salvation. *Moments after service* Ah… Lessons are over… It’s time to relax and catch up with everyone and their lives.

There are many different ways I could record this part of my life. My beginning would probably be an introduction to the commute it takes me to get to church. I could easily record on my phone the drive from either my home or campus to church. I could record this drive on either Tuesday, Friday or Sunday. All of these days I go to church and depending on how much noise there is in the car I will have to pick from those different times. Tuesday will probably be the best time to record as I drive a lot more people on Tuesday which could make for an interesting setting. The second setting I was thinking of using was the moments that lead up to the praise and actual servise.
