Three quick things...

Three things:

Number One - It has been awhile since I have blogged and/or updated my Virb page. I have missed this outlet and the weekly input you guys provide. Now that Jayce is 7 weeks old and I am getting used to his schedule; I am looking forward to getting …

Something out of Nothing...

So check this out... go to YouTube and search for "Amateur Drummer". This is a great example of how one person who couldn't do something, put a lot of little pieces and failed attempts together in order to make something uniquly cool and beautiful. So we should never …

Sunday...

We just had first service and I loved it. The sermon was one of the best I have ever heard. Perry challenged us with several points... the one that stuck out to me was God's plans are bigger than our imagination. Wow! what a thought. I have a pretty big imagination, …

Out of the blue...

Here is my blog today... short and sweet... small groups rule! What is a small group, glad you asked... It is a group of people who come together to encourage each other, grow spiritually together and just go through life together. Our church has a large service …

New baby toy... i mean, baby boy...

So, dadhood has been awesome so far. In the past, I have heard so many negative things about having kids; i kinda just keep waiting for the crappy stuff to happen. But i have decided, God is bigger than other poeple's comments. Kids rule! I know crazy stuff will …

Jayce Is Here...

hey everybody, my son is here! Fatherhood is amazing. I can't express to you guys how excited I am. Check out the new pictures. Take care!

What's up with this weather...

Does this sound weird to anyone else, "January 7th - 70 degrees". This weather rocks my face off. Sunshine rules me!

Christmas Break

Wow, Christmas was awesome. It reminded me to be thankful for what God has given me. Sitting on the couch the other day, Rachel said to me something that made me smile, she said, "It sure has been a good year." I don't think you can understand how that made me feel. …

The trail of Tears...

Many of you probably don't know this, but my roots are both Native American (the first Americans) and English. My dad's side were here first and my mom's side came in and killed them all... at least a lot of them... I mean, "Us". It started out great with Thanksgiving …

People, politics, and other stuff...

So, when I lead worship on Sunday it is always exciting, growing, and makes me extremely tired; however, I am so jazzercised up from the previous days activities that is takes me forever to go to sleep. I usually wind up in bed around 2 or 3am Monday morning. So, …

A Couple of Quick Thoughts...

A couple of quick thoughts...

I put up the Christmas tree last night with Rachel and surprisingly, I had a BLAST! I am so blessed.

I love our volunteers. One of the ladies at our church made hot breakfast for the whole band last Sunday. She had the breakfast …

8 Months Wages...

Eight months' wages. No, it is not a Christian band name. No, it's not a new political tax increase proposal. I came across this verse today in John 6 that was a real encouragement to me. Jesus was preaching in front of a huge group of people and he asked one of his …

Spankin some butt...

So i am approaching real life fatherhood... My son, Jayce should be popping out on the scene sometime around February; and when he does I am guessing it will be a life-changer. But you know what, I am excited about it. What an unbelievable gift God has given my wife …

"Bump," what was that?...

So the Thanksgiving weekend is now over and I have had time to reflect on all that family time and turkey. Living in South Carolina is awesome; however, it does not allow us (Rachel & I) the opportunity to see our families as often as we would like. So when …

Go Mizzou!!!

Tonight was one of the best nights ever in "football town". I am a strong supporter of the Missouri Tigers, and tonight was a big win, if not the biggest win in Tiger history. I sat on the couch with my dad-in-law, watching the game (with momentary outbursts of …

Nextel...

I have to share a story, and please don't get offended if you use Nextel, but it is annoying. I don't know what is more annoying, the beeping phones or the people that allow the phones to continually beep while eating in a restaraunt. This is how the story …

Football, music and still single...

So, I have several good friends, check that, great friends that are very dear to me and we at times get into these very deep conversations concerning relationships. Did I mention my friends in which I am referring are single. I love these discussions. I mean it, I …

Wine Anyone?..

Two thing I have experienced today that I have totally enjoyed.

First, if you don't have The Wallflowers record, Bringing Down the Horses, go buy it; it is really good.

Secondly, I was reading in John 2, and something caught my eye. Jesus and his mother were …

Blowing me up...

Check out the book of John in the New Testament, the first couple of chapters are blowing me up today.

Just a couple...

Here are a coule of quotes that stood out to me this week:

"Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything." Alex Hamilton 1936

Also, when Winston Churchill was asked about character, he responded, "We are all worms, but I do believe that I am a glow-worm."
