Pics from Winter Xtreme 09

Xtreme was a blast again this year and I was glad to be with such good friends backing me up. Here are some pics of us leading worship and of Marcus, Matt, and Jake being...

50 Years of Marriage

My wife and I drove down to Deland, Florida to celebrate her grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. She worked really hard to bring it all together and managed to keep it a surprise to boot. My wife is super great at surprises (remind me to tell you about my 30th birthday sometime) and it always makes...

Day 1 of Winter Xtreme 2009

We’re blessed to be leading worship up here in Pigeon Forge for Winter Xtreme once again. I brought with me some great leaders from Oak Leaf Church to be my band this year. Very proud! I’ve been loading up images on the camera I got for Christmas so as soon as I figure out how to...

Technical Problems

my website has been down for quite some time. Finally got it working again thanks to the amazing magical wonders of the super Seth Skinner. while I was away, I was working on a redesign just to have something up and am now contemplating actually changing my theme all together. not sure what to do. what I...

Week 4

So I decided to try something revolutionary. My first week of camp made eating right a bit difficult but I held strong until the weekend. Saturday night my wife and I went on a date and decided to try Big Pie in the Sky pizza which is right down the road from our house (and...

SuperWOW Fort Walton Week 1

What a great week! What a great group of students. Excited and passionate about worship God. Technology was our enemy this week – computers failing, in-ears breaking, power black outs, you name it – but GOD WAS STILL GLORIFIED!!! We don’t need no stinkin’ tech to worship God! My favorite part about the week was meeting the...

Week 3

This week was frustrating. I kept to my diet but actually gained weight. I upped the amount of weight I was using in the routine and so I know people are going to say, “muscle weighs more than fat” which I will quickly respond, “but that doesn’t help me if it is hidden by the...

Wireless Power Is Coming

This is the one thing I wish I was smart enough to invent. I had the idea a long time ago but of course…I’m not a scientist or engineer so I had no idea where to even begin. Plus, all the smart people who did have the know how were already working on it behind...

Week 2

WEEK 2 They say the first two weeks are the hardest and well…it was pretty hard. I pushed myself further than I ever have before. 40 minute non-stop workout routine followed by either a 30-45 minute run or an hour bike ride (one in which I rode from Acworth to Cartersville to work) for six straight...

I’m Not On A Diet. I’m Eating As God Intended.

WEEK 1 I’m on a workout routine and am changing what I eat to help the results. Specifically I am doing Power90 which as I understand it is P90x for slower, fatter, more out of shape people (like myself). Basically, it is an older version of P90x with phases that allow a weak, pathetic individual (like...

40 Day Blog Fast Finally Over

I didn’t announce it and didn’t really talk about it, but the few readers i have may have noticed I haven’t written anything in a very long time. Why? I decided after several stressful weeks in a row that i needed to get a bit more organized and needed to...

School of Worship 08

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago in Band Life, Worship
Last night we kicked off the second annual SOW with an acoustic concert from Matt Papa, some Q&A with Billy Foote, Chris Orr, Jake Gutledge and I, a little old school medley sing along, and some pizza. Not your typical opening session but it worked great.  Today was jammed packed...

Second Week at Senecaville

Posted 1 year, 7 months ago in Band Life
I could write many paragraphs about all the great things we experienced during the second week of camp in Ohio, but I know you blog readers hate long posts so I’ll keep it short. 50+ students committed to full-time ministry. Dozens of others made decisions to follow Christ. God moved...

Spank ‘Em

Posted 1 year, 7 months ago in Band Life
So…my band guys have created a new game they have been playing for a couple weeks now. I’m not playing so I don’t know all the rules. And I can’t tell you the ones I do know. It’s like Mao. You have to agree to play and then figure out...

Camp in Ohio was Amazing!!!

Posted 1 year, 7 months ago in Band Life
Great students, authentic worship, lives changed, amazing conversations…two great weeks in a row and can’t wait until next week with Ergun Caner. Thanks to all you guys who made the week so memorable. We didn’t really like getting beat in dodgeball or volleyball, but it was worth the loss to...

Summer Gathering/Camp Nachomamma

Posted 1 year, 8 months ago in Band Life
It is always a blessing to walk into a camp as totally strangers and walk away believing you’ve made life long friends. We’ve played for much bigger crowds with much sharper production and much more posh facilities, but these guys were being moved by God…and so were we. What an...
