Thankful for…

I am not going to be able to tell you everything that I am thankful for, but I thought that I would get you started about being thankful this thanksgiving by giving you a little glimpse into what I am thankful for.  Here’s a quick list:

God – You may not believe in him, but without [...]

Awwww….Vacation

I am so extatic to be up here in Tennessee for Thanksgiving.  We drove the entire way Sunday night…and yes it was SUPER late when we got here, but I was ready to be here.  I am looking forward to a great week and I look forward to the excessive eating that will be done [...]

Excited yet?

I am loving that I get to see so many pastors on Twitter and Facebook comment how excited they are for the Christmas season coming up soon, or something going on big at their church.  Gets me excited for them to see what God is going to be doing with them, through them in the [...]

Forgive and Forget…possible?

I’ve got to admit…I wasnt as prepared for my Sunday School lesson this morning as I should have been.  I prayed for God to do something special today…and it happened.  I love teaching our students and the last few Sunday mornings have been OUTSTANDING.  But today was simply God-sized.  We’ve been dealing with love and [...]

Respect for Single parents….

You know I take for granted the fact that I have a wife/partner/helper in life.  My wife left yesterday for a 4-day weekend in California with her sister and a friend.  I have the task of taking care of my kids for a few days.  It should be fun.  They are going to a cousin’s [...]

For me…for others…for Kindgom!

Teamwork…

Right now I find myself evaluating EVERYTHING.  Some for the good…some for the bad.  What is funny about how I am evaluating things is this…I can more easily find, when I look at other people’s scenarios, immediate changes other people should make.  I nitpick in my mind and think of things that I would do [...]

Why do I worry?

It amazes me how I can be doing great, then one tiny little thing creeps into my mind and causes worry.  I am really surprised that I dont have more ulcers than I do.  Some of my worries are financial, worry about the foundation of my house, I worry about how friends are doing, I [...]

No whining…

I did my best to “not” watch the election unfold on TV, but I couldnt do it.  I had to watch.  I watched it with great interest.  I would like to send three messages via this blog.
To those who opposed Obama…
Let’s keep in mind the bitterness that happened after the 2000 election first and foremost.  [...]

Shared family moment…

You may not agree…but that’s okay…it’s MY BLOG…but one of the coolest things that I think we’ve done as a family, we did today.  And that is…
…WE VOTED AS A FAMILY!
Sure, my kids are too young to know the difference, but Kallie and I wanted to make sure that our kids know what a honor, [...]
