Open Mic Night

Yesterday was the second open mic night of the year at PTS.  Evidently, this is a fairly new thing, but you wouldn't know it by the turnout.  Maybe it was the free food, but I would like to think that the amazing performances had something to do with it.  A hundred or so seminarians gathered to listen to music, poetry, and stories at the end of a long week.​

I have been trying to get more comfortable with putting myself "out there" when it comes to being involved in campus activities, so like last month I read some Taylor Mali poetry.  While his poems speak to my former life as a teacher, I hope they are interesting enough that my new community enjoyed them as well.  You can watch my reading below.​

I am truly blessed to be part of a community so filled with talent, but also so open to new people.  ​I look forward to many more performances!
