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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

Music Monday – Passion: God of This City

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in Music
New Passion album out today and I’m not sure I’m going to buy. I’m as much a fan of the music of Passion as the next guy, but I have to admit, I miss the good old days of CDs filled with songs you’d never heard before. Sure, that was...

OLC Sunday Report (2-03-08)

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in Oak Leaf
All the effort put into getting a little more organized for Sunday set-up and making sure the media desk never crashed again paid off. Even with loading a full-sized ski boat on stage and building a bunker for Michael’s illustrations, we were on schedule and ended up with plenty of...

I Love Apple!

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in I Love Technology
There are quite a few people who have much disdain for the bitten icon and its products, but I am not one of them. Forced into a Mac laptop while I worked at a school, I quickly became a convert and have since brought my entire family with me. Why...

Lost Back on Today – New Research Suggests Black Smoke Monster Could Be Reality?

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in I Love Technology
I’m a pretty big Lost fan and I can’t wait for it to come back on tonight – especially considering the lack of any quality TV on recently. Too bad I won’t be watching it ’til pretty late since I’ve got band practice and a couple videos to edit for...

Rock Band Battle of the Bands

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in Oak Leaf
For those of you keeping up, I got Rock Band for Christmas and can not get enough of it. My wife and I are in a band called The Cripplez and we just hired a couple roadies to help us play some bigger venues on our European tour. I’m having...

Tech Tuesday: The New Guitar Pod?

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in Tech Tuesday
When the Line 6 Pod came out back in the 90s, it revolutionized the way guitarists created bad tone. But the convenience of not having to carry around heavy amps or mounds of guitar pedals and “mimic” just about any guitar sound you wanted outweighed the obvious sound disadvantages to...

OLC Sunday Report (1-27-08)

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago in Oak Leaf
Today was full of tricks and very treats. Though only those behind the scenes may have noticed the dangerously high levels of stress, this was the first week serious technical difficulties made their way in obvious form to the main stage. If you are wondering why the screens were blank...
