Here’s what my life looks like right now. What’s yours like?

So, Mr. Herald of Truth guy, how’s your work changed during these times of social distancing?

      • I’m not traveling. At all. Haven’t traveled since December, which is remarkable for me. I’ve traveled about 70,000 miles each of the past two years. Being home feels strange.
      • I’m doing tons of media work. That’s not a huge change, but there is an uptick.
      • My “studio” is now in the house. The quality is not as good. No two ways about it. But advances in technology have made “not as good” be high quality, nonetheless.
      • Lots of gaffes, though:
        • Record the video, then realize that there was no audio input.
        • Record the video using the phone, only to get notifications on the screen while recording.
        • Do a recording session with Bruno Valle via Internet, only to discover that I had the recorder set to an input that was empty. That means two 8-minute segments of silence.
        • Have the recorder shut off during said recording session because the memory card is full. But it was full of segments of silence, so the loss was relative.
        • Record video on iPad, only to realize that I spent the whole time looking at the wrong part of the iPad. Close-up shots look pretty silly when you’re looking to the side.
        • And on and on and on…
      • Work doesn’t always start at 8 nor end at 5. Not that it ever does. But now more than ever I’m likely to be working early or finishing a project late. Or I might take a break in the afternoon to sit outside and read a bit because I’m feeling the stress of the lack of routine.
      • Finding more “other” work coming up during the day, like things from church, or non-HoT ministry projects.
    • I get to eat lunch with my beautiful wife and see her during the day.

    Those are some of the changes for me. How’s life for you?
