My morning reading...

#1 Check this entry out, it's really good.

#2 Samuel 16:1 - Quit crying over spilled milk. When God does something that you don't agree with, suck it up and get on with it. He has more in store for you.

What is waiting..?

I traveled to Atlanta this weekend and I realized something... I rarely wait. Seriously, I don't have to wait on anything. As I was leaving for Atlanta, I went to Hardee's and my wife and I started complaining because the order was taking "way too long". But was it …

A thousand questions...

So I haven't done a blog entry in awhile. To be honest, I haven't really felt like it. I have been wrestling (or "wrastling" here in South Carolina) with a few things. "Do share," you may be thinking, so I will... The next few lines are me being completely honest …

Ssshhh...

I was reading this morning about Sampson in the Bible and this verse struck me funny.."The Lord came upon Sampson in power and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands.." that is not the funny part, "But he did not tell his mother or his father what he had done." …

74 and more...

So this morning when I came into work I got to meet a man who started coming to Newspring about a year ago. He reminded me of my grandpa. He was telling me how much he enjoyed church and the music, it was great. And the coolest part was that he was 74 years old. I …

Internet & coffee...

I like the internet, and I like coffee. It is strange to think when I was in 4th grade I was playing that "frontier" game on a stone-aged computer... and now only a few years later, I am on the internet wirelessly and drinking coffee. Wow.

When we put our minds to it...

Family reunions and such...

I am taking this next week and heading to Missouri with my family to enjoy our annual Land Family Reunion. I love this time... catching up with family, seeing how fast all the little cousins have grown, listening to old stories from the family patriarchs; it is fun. I …

A couple of things I am thankful for...

Here are a few things I am thankful for...
Good folks, Sonic's happy hour drinks (you can get a 44oz. Cherry Limeade for $ .99, how can you beat that?), the beach, humor.

That's Abigail with four R's...

So, a week or so ago I shared a little bit about Nabal & Abigail... (1 Samuel 25) This story definitely hit me where it hurts. I have really learned some valuable things from Abigail. I mean, her situation was rough... her man was an idiot & he almost got her …

My weekend...

I picked a buddy up from the airport yesterday. Hung with my lovely family. Gave my son a bath. Ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich.

Today I read Proverbs 27 and this is what stuck out to me:

vs 1 - Don't boast about stuff.
vs 2 - Don't brag.
vs 4 - …

Check this out...

Hey friends, check out my cousin on iTunes. He has an awesome voice. I am slow to compare him to other artists, but if I had to he would fit with Gavin DeGraw & Marc Broussard. Two songs you have to buy are "Strolin" & "Shine."

His name is Michael Land. Enjoy

A man named "Fool"...

If you have kids someday, please don't name your kid Nabal. I was reading in 1 Samuel chapter 25 about this dude named Nabal - he raised sheep. If you read the story, you will see David basically protects Nabal's men & sheep and then David asks Nabal for a favor, but …

Airo-planes, free beer, and rat tails...

Yesterday was AWESOME!
As most of you know, I live in Anderson, South Carolina and every once in awhile the city will do something really cool. Well, that was yesterday. I got wind of an air show happening at the airport. Rachel, baby J and I went (with a couple of …

Not my fight...

I was reading in Exodus chapter 14 and a couple of things stood out to me:

1. "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you WILL SEE the deliverance of the Lord." verse 13

2. "The Lord will fight for you..." verse 14

3. "You need only to be still." verse 14

4. …

Seriously...?

How many people out there really know how to spell McCallie Cullkin? I don't even know if I spelled it right, just now. Who names their kid that? Seriously?

On a side note, I just had a Chick-Fil-A coffee caramel milkshake; wow. The taste is unbelievable. I was …

What in the globe...?

So a good friend of mine recently gave me a gift for my birthday.. check it out, I uploaded a picture of it. It is a vintage 1999 snow globe that plays music. I think the water is not actually water, I think it is another questionable liquid.? Check it out and see …

My week in a nutshell...

This has been the most awesome week. I have uploaded some pics that will better illustrate my excitement. First, I am thankful because I should be dead, yet I am still here! On Thursday a friend of mine and I were driving in his Ford Ranger and a furniture truck …

I want to fall in love...

Okay this post is a little misleading, let me explain... I am madly in love with my wife and 9 week old son; but I want to fall in love with a reissue Telecaster guitar. I currently own a MusicMan Axis Super Sport and a Fender Twin Amp, but I am looking forward to one …

Friends...

A friend helped me today with a little project and I really appreciated it. I must say it is awesome to have good friends.

Finding your voice...

So I continue to see God teaching me things about Himself (and our relationship) through my relationship with my son. Just this week, Jayce is learning that he can do more than just cry. He has begun making sounds and even, to my surprise, giggling. As the dad, you …
