My kids…

This is our birthday week!  Lilah turned 7 on Monday and Luke 4 on Wednesday.
Lilah Gean was our surprise.  Kallie and I didnt plan on having kids so soon into our marriage.  Our ‘5 year’ plan as we called it was trumped by God’s ‘6 months in – Guess what, you’re pregnant!’  I wouldnt go [...]

Tragedy … Helpless … Insecurity … Loss for Word
Those four words pretty much describe the day that was…9-11.  I remember Kallie just left for work that day.  I sat on the end of the bed and just turned on the Today show and they were just getting the breaking news that a plane had hit [...]

And so it begins…

We started youth back up tonight.  After hearing that many were coming, we only ended up with 13, but I was still excited.  It was great to see everyone and get back on the saddle tonight!
I set up a new challenge for the students tonight (and really for myself).  I asked them to commit to [...]

“I smell Satan!”

Oh I used to love Dana Carvey as the ‘Church Lady.‘
Recently I started B90X.  It’s an intense cover to cover reading of the Bible.  I have been challenged to read the Bible multiple times all the way through.  The last time that I ‘tried’ I got about two months into the reading and well…got lazy.
Twitter [...]

Stirring…

It’s 10:30 as I start this blog entry.  I am in Little Rock, AR and I feel that I should be sleeping the night away.  But there are questions/thoughts inside of my head that I just believe that I should write down…what better way to do that…than this blog.
When it comes to church…here are some [...]

Call me Baskin Robbins…

…cause today I am 31!!  I know cheesey, but hey, what do I care…its my birthday!
If there is one thing that you should know about me…I hope this day passes by fast.  Some look forward to their birthdays, but me…well I just hope that I pass them by.  If there is a counselor out there [...]

A Sunday that was…

Man I tell you, I didn’t know how this day was going to go.  With Karl being out of pocket today and a missionary that we support coming to speak, I didn’t know how I was going to get anything out of the day.  I am glad that I am not in control.  God taught [...]

Where I’m at.

So much has happened, and so much of my time has been spent on other things, blogging has been the least of my priorities.  I loved what my friend John Harris said.  In a recent twitter message he said, ‘How many blogs have you read saying they were sorry they didn’t blog very often and [...]

World Changers – Day it Ended

Yeah I know…tomorrow is the official last day of the trip, but today we finished projects!  In total, 19 World Changer crews finished 23 projects in and around Franklinton, Louisiana!  The students did AWESOME!  They stretched themselves and made people’s lives change forever!
Today I spent the work day with Rebekah and Tyler and the ‘Glueless’ [...]

World Changers – Day ‘what are we on?’

Today might have been the roughest day so far of the trip.  There were no major problems…it was just that ‘the tireds’ hit us all and all we could do was grit and bear!  For the most part, we did just that with great success!
Some of our crews started new jobs while others worked to [...]
