Politically OVERcharged -Fl3tcher Exibit

The Reece Museum has been hosting the Fl3tcher Exhibit. I finally had the opportunity to go and I found an exhibit full of politically charged statements about guns, rights, and rapes. I was shocked by some of the pieces to the point where my mouth fell open. However, some were gorgeous and done beautifully.  I was allowed to take pictures and here are my thoughts and reflections about each piece that stood out to me.

 This piece stood out to me because the artist was communicating how society is conditioned to feel safe because of gun ownership. I found this to be an interesting way to describe society's need to be aware of guns.
 This was the piece where my mouth fell open in shock. The artist was trying to communicate that rape has a powerful impact. I thought this piece was very provocative but it got the authors point across!
This piece was super elaborate. It had drills screwed into the pictures. The artist discussed how America is getting "Screwed" over by large companies. I cannot say that I disagree, but this piece was very politically charged. 

I found this piece to be interesting because it had a sound component. I did not fully grasp the concept of this piece. The recording was of someone talking about accidents with guns and at the end you hear gun fire. I believe the piece was just to call awareness to reasons for gun control other than criminal behavior.

Church Volunteer

I have had the immense pleasure of attending and serving my church for the majority if my life. I sporadically have done elderly visitations, mission trips, food packing, and feeding the homeless. Two years ago I was the pre-school ministry intern and have continued to work with the youngest believers. However, this semester I took on a more permanent role in my service. On the first Sunday of the month, I simply attend BCCC. The second Sunday, I help lead worship in the praise band. Praise band is 4 hours of time once a month because it requires both services and two practices. The third Sunday, I assist in primary ministry which is 1st grade- 5th grade which accounts for 2 hours for both services. The fourth Sunday, I am in the two year old classroom for one hour teaching Sunday school, and if there is a fifth Sunday I am in the preschool ministry room.  I began these various roles in September 2016. To date I have completed 18 hours of community service by serving the church in...

God is Great, Beer is Good, an People are...Sweaty!

The Billy Currington concert this last weekend was an absolute blast. He is one of my all time favorite country artists. I was so desperate to see the concert that when none of my friends wanted to go, I went to see "my man" by myself .  At first I was surrounded by tons of people I did not know and the humidity was making everyone drip with sweat. Just when I thought I was regretting my decision to go solo, I ended up bumping into an acquaintance and meeting a girl who is also a junior rushing this upcoming weekend. Those two were equally as excited to see Billy. During the concert, he played his classics like Turnip Greens, Must Be Doin' Something Right , and God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy . The crowd went absolutely insane  when he performed Garth Brooks' Low Places. The concert was overall hype and spectacular -So much so that my feet were numb from dancing in my boots so long. It was a long haul from the CPA back to Centennial so I took my sh...
