Oh yeah

oh yeah…in the midst of that I’ve decided to stop the excessive TV watching and focus more on reading and writing. There, it is printed and now I must follow through on what I’ve said. Feel free to check in on that every now and again.
(NASCAR, College Football, specifically BAMA and the news will be [...]

slammed…and still processing

I spent an amazing lunch with Wes yesterday and discovered that we have much more in common than I originally imagined and our personalities parallel each other. I learned a great deal about life in a short hour and half.  Wes was teaching me, and I’m not certain that it was intentional. Wes was living [...]

Keven, Not Kevin

This random but intentional post is dedicated to Keven, for two reasons.
#1. Keven has been quite participatory in both blogs as of late which is quite encouraging.
#2. For quite some time now I have sent a plethora of e-mails to Keven and written his name multiple times and spelled it with an "i" instead of [...]

"Spirituality looks like what whatever you and I look like when we’re thinking about Jesus, when we are trying to figure out what real Christianity looks like in the real world."

January 27th

Wow, Sunday was incredible!
Last Monday night I sat planning songs, knowing the three for the main set in the middle and knowing that we were going to land on "Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone" just before Rusty came to speak. So "Your Grace is Enough" really seemed to fit well with where we headed [...]

There a many memories. I’m extremely thankful that God chooses to weave our lives with people that impact us for [...]

lifelong focus

Rusty is speaking this week about Paul. More specifically, how his focus was shifted. Paul was bent on taking out all Christians as he was certain this is what God wanted him to do.  God shifted his focus, however, and the very one that was set on killing disciples became passionate about making disciples.
That’s an [...]

that guy that wrote Hebrews

that guy that wrote Hebrews apparently had it all together…that’s my phrase for the day.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of things unseen. The writer drops that in chapter 11 and not many other passages receive as many quotes during the day.  Although, I’m sure and certain that this is [...]

Jan 13 ramblings

Yesterday was amazing. The band played well together and the music really came across well.
The people responded. I love it when people clap. Not for the band, but because a song moved them to respond in a physical way to the Spirit. That is, the applause are a thank you to the Spirit for speaking [...]
