Grey’s Anatomy // or was it grey’s theology

Kristen was watching Grey’s Anatomy on the computer while I was reading and I just got sucked in today. They kept throwing out heaven and hell and I couldn’t help but watch, just had to figure out where they were going with it. While some may have a problem with some of the content of [...]

For The Complainers // quit your …

Pat showed me this video the other day and I was blown away. Made me think about how much I complain about my “problems.” This is amazing.

Auburn College Students // turns out I like ‘em a lot

Almost two years ago, Kristen and I were looking for a position back on a church staff after traveling and doing mission work the previous year. As we were looking through posting online, she commented one day that she had seen a new job in Auburn. I laughed, rather heartily as I recall because I [...]

President Obama // good luck and I’m praying for you

Well, most people dropped a post about President Obama on Tuesday because it was just a good day to do it seeing as how the whole day was pretty much about him (and Aretha Franklin’s massive/interesting/gaudybeautiful hat). On Tuesday, after typing half of a post, thinking about what to say, rethinking, deleting, starting over, etc. [...]

A Poll // for kicks and giggles

What do you think, can I pull this off?

Watch Band Practice Part Deux // “I don’t know, just for fun…you know…I don’t know…whatev”

As I said last week, and as I will say every week until I get a direct mixed line in here (i.e. until we drop some more money) the sound quality is not going to be so great. Tonight we’ll be competing with the premiere of Lost, which sadly, I will be missing. But that’s [...]

Consisting “in” not “of” // a few Jesus thoughts

This post is part of the journey through Luke series that’s not actually a series. I just made that up in my head, because I’ve done several of these posts on my journey through the Luke, the gospel from a historian’s persepective. Today, I journaled for a while before I started reading (the post below [...]

Transparancy // I’m just saying…thought you might wanna know

This is pretty much what I look like when I meet God in the mornings (although you can’t see the BAMA jammies below, He’s particularly fond of those). Anyway, I’ll tell you about what I read and learned this morning later when I have time for a full post. In the meantime, here’s to hoping [...]

In A Shift // how to change a mindset

The mindset shift is going from seeking to be loved to seeking to love. Someone is thinking, “Wow, really, you’re just now thinking about this?” My response, “Yes…and no.” While this has always been a truth I’ve understood in how we should be living, it’s not something that I put into practice most of the [...]

Update // a recap of Monday

So, I promised and update. Here it is. Every meeting today was much shorter than I anticipated and today was one of the first Monday’s in a while where I went home not hating myself for opening my mouth one too many times. Sweet. However, I’m sure the shorter meetings aided in the good day. [...]
