In all of the messages to the churches Jesus says, “I know your works”  and He gives them a promise. In this message, the promise is: “To him  that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the  midst of the paradise of God.”

The church of Ephesus had a problem according to the Bible. They had a problem of neglected priorities. The Bible says that the church of Ephesus “left their first love” at the end of verse 4. It also tells them in verse 5 to remember, repent & do the first works.

Rev 2:1-7

Have you left your first love? Are there some things in your live that you need to repent of? Our God is a loving God and He offers forgiveness. He provides it through Jesus Christ.

Rom 10:9

I worked at an architectural firm in Scottsdale, AZ called Kurt D. Reed and Associates from February 1st, 2004 – November 8th, 2008. And I worked for an architect (anonymous) in the design department.

Kurt Reed was the one who interviewed me for my position. I worked as a contractor for 3 months and then I was hired on full time. During those 5 years I met a lot of interesting people and I saw a lot of things happen. I worked on some really cool projects too. I used Photoshop mostly and I also used AutoCAD and SketchUp.

I remember my first day there at KDRA. When I walked in the door, Kurt shook my hand and said, “welcome aboard”. Shortly after I got hired I saw less and less of Kurt. His life began to change. The larger the company got, the less I saw him. He was always away doing marketing but he could come in at any time without notice and walk by my cubicle and say, “hey Chris”.

We had some really good Christmas parties over the years too. There were many things I liked about working for KDRA.

Well, the economy got bad, some things happened…some people changed a lot of things.

Then we went out of business in November of 2008… And so, goodbye all my KDRA buddies. Now we have to start from scratch.

A review of Dark Horse Recording Studio (from an intern’s perspective):

In 2003 I attended a school called “The Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences” in Tempe, AZ. In order to graduate, you have to complete a 3-4 month internship (they encourage you to intern out of state).

I did a 4 month internship at a recording studio in Franklin, Tennessee called Dark Horse Recording Studio. This recording studio was developed by a man named Robin Crow. He inherited the land from his wealthy parents and then built the studio later on. It’s a pretty incredible success story (see www.robincrow.com for more details). It’s probably a great place to be, unless you’re an intern there.

He has so many intern applicants! They call him daily wanting to be an intern at his studio.

If you’re considering interning at Dark Horse Recording Studio, I have one word of advice for you: STOP!

Here is a typical day while interning at Dark Horse Recording Studio, Franklin TN:

1. Take out all the trash in the complex.
2. Rake all the leaves outside.
3. Make the bed in the guest room.
4. Go to the store and buy lawn mower equipment.
5. Move wood boards across the facility by hand.
6. Drive to subway and pick up lunch for the artists.
7. Prepare hamburgers, hotdogs, and chicken for the usual “get togethers” for friends of Robin Crow
8. Wash dishes.
9. Pull weeds
10. Re-stock sodas.
11. NOT LEARN A THING

There was one day where I got to take down some drum microphones. One day I drove Robin’s son to work.

I wanted to write this article to warn anyone considering interning at Dark Horse Recording.
It’s not a good internship at all!

Lots of friendly people. They’re so knowledgeable about what they do. They soar like an eagle in outer space!

Feel free to contact me if you need a 3D rendering or REVIT work. They love my skills!
