This is the first chance I’ve had to stop and blog for a moment.  This has been a crazy busy week already… we started ALL IN this past Sunday and I believe this could be the most significant thing we’ve done since launching the church 15 months ago.  We are raising the stakes in every [...]

OK… I know I said after last season I was done with 24… the trailer for season 7 came out yesterday and I just saw it.  Dang… I’m so easy!  I can’t wait til January 13th.  Lots of twists and turns and CTU no longer exists… I guess I’ll have to get a new ringtone [...]

It’s on tonight!  World Series, Game 1… Red Sox and Rockies… I can’t wait to see my Sox sweep the Rox (sorry, couldn’t resist).  I know it’s football season and all eyes are on the Polls and what’s happening there.. but I can’t help it… I love baseball  and  I’m a HUGE Red Sox fan… [...]

Just got back from the East Alabama Youth for Christ Banquet.  it’s their annual fundraising banquet and I get invited because I worked with them as a Campus Life Director for a few months while we were  beginning to plant Journey.  I love YFC and what they do for teenagers that don’t "fit" into a [...]

We finished up Lord of the Rings today.  It was a fun message because I preached on submission.  It was fun because Dr. Phil made a guest appearance (Thanks  Dr. Phil Thorson).  It was fun because my friend Joey Seales came down and led worship with Trey today.  Now… my rant… I HATE late Auburn [...]

I’ve been reading very slowly through Ephesians for the past few days and I am amazed at the awesome stuff in this book.  It’s amazing that God leads us to the right stuff at the right time to speak to us Clearly and Boldly through His Word.  I’m trying a new study method with this [...]

I was going through some files that I brought to the new office and ran across some notes from Gary Lamb’s Breakout session at Churchplanters.com conference.  I really needed to hear that again… sometimes we don’t need NEW INFORMATION… we need to be reminded again of the stuff we already know.  Gary was talking about [...]

Got to take a nap earlier today…man it was sweet.  I also got to be a last minute child care worker for Sonja’s Growth Group.  I’m horrible at this… I just gave them lots of Coke and Donuts and let them play XBox… is that a bad thing?  No… we had a great time and [...]

I’ve been reading through the Book of Jeremiah and God has really opened my eyes to some things… One thing I read this morning shook me… Jeremiah 23:33 says, Suppose one of the people or one of the prophets or priests asks you, ‘What prophecy has the Lord BURDENED (emphasis mine) you with now?’  You [...]

I saw this on ESPN this morning and had to share it.  It was a hilarious Spoof of the Oklahoma State Football Coach’s rant a few weeks ago.  Check it out here.
