Today my daughter Abby turned 16. Time flies. Just yesterday she was like this… climbing up in my lap and asking for some Cheerios… now… she looks like this… Every now and then she'll climb up in my lap, she'll throw her arms around me and hug me… but what she's asking for now [...]
I debated whether or not to do a mind dump since we didn't have services today. I decided to do it. Worshiping in your PJ's is very cool. I have to be honest… I have watched tons of messages online and have a bunch on my iPod… but really "attending" church on the internet… I [...]
Got up WAY TOO EARLY for a Saturday, but it gave me a chance to finish Marcus Buckingham's book, The Truth About You. I'm a sucker for add ons and bells and whistles, so this book grabbed me. It comes with a DVD and a re:memo pad. I liked the book, but not as well [...]
I saw this video last week from Penn Gillette, the famous magician/illusionist and avowed atheist. It took my breath away… We started Journey Church for guys just like him.

The year was 1989. The Berlin wall fell Milli Vanilli won a Grammy for Best New Artist (later taken away) Pete Rose banned from baseball That was all 19 years ago… But the most important event of that year happened 19 years ago today in Pell City, Alabama. I married way over my head. Happy [...]
I love the book of James… I hate the book of James. This love hate relationship I have with one of the most practical books in the Bible is because of that… it's so practical. I love it in that it is so very simple and straightforward. I hate it in that it exposes my [...]
I can't believe I haven't blogged since my last Sunday/Monday Rewind. I guess I'm loving Twitter much more these days. My twitter updates go to the sidebar of this blog as well as my Facebook status. Today was another great day at Journey. God's really been stirring and I'm excited about what is happening. [...]
