This will by my first and last post for this week. My family and I are headed to the beach for a week of much needed rest and play. I won’t have my laptop, so I won’t be posting until I get back home. I will have my cell phone but I’ve promised my kids [...]
I know it’s been several days since my last blog–I’ll try to catch you up quick. Monday I spent all day with Ray Jones, Pastor of Ridgecrest Baptist in Dothan. Ray and I were on staff together at Calvary in Clearwater. He is one of my spiritual heroes and mentors. He oozes spiritual and leadership [...]
We had an incredible FRIEND DAY… Lots of you brought friends and I was blown away by the spirit in the place this morning. God was definitely up to something great today. This weekend was a crazy weekend for our family… Friday night we went to Leeds, AL (home of Charles Barkley, and Sonja Taylor) [...]
Yesterday I got a chance to hang out all day with a new friend, Dave Anderson. Dave started Crosspoint Church in Decatur, AL and I met him at a roundtable at Gary Lamb’s church. He had never been to Auburn, so he drove down for the day and we talked about how we can help [...]
My internet service provider has not given me world class customer service like they claim. For the past week, my internet service at home/the church office has been in and out.

Today I got to spend time with some of my favorite church planters. This morning, I got a phone call from Gary Lamb. I emailed him a few days ago with some questions and the dude gave me a call and invested some time in me. I appreciate Gary a ton. He and his staff [...]
In 2 weeks we are having FRIEND DAY at Journey. Is there someone you know who is disconnected from God and from Church– Someone you work with, go to school with, hang out with, someone who lives in your neighborhood? Would you like to see them commit their lives to following Jesus? Then, do everything [...]
I have a tendency to stay wound up pretty tight so I’m being more intentional about using Sunday night after everyone’s in bed to do what a few of my church planter buddies do… They hook up their iPods, chill out, reflect on the day and get ready for the crazy busy week coming up… [...]
Alright… I’ve held my tongue long enough. Many of you know I’m a rabid 24 fan… I’ve seen every episode… every year… It’s the only show I’ll try to arrange my schedule around. But I have to tell you… this year it’s been more like a soap opera. Too much lovey dovey stuff. It started [...]
