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...

Studio Day #2

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in Life and Family
Knocked out another four tunes today. Two I love, one that is just so-so (needs some more instruments) and one that rips my face off. Seriously, “My Everything” give me goose bumps everytime I hear especially considering the message Michael gave last week and my constant struggle to give God...

Back In The Studio

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in Life and Family
Well, here we go again. I’m back in the studio recording a new project. It is particularly exciting because I am actually recording it in an award winning studio with ridiculously talented musicians from New York and Nashville along with a few of my favorites from around town. We’ve got...

Some Days Are Hard to Rejoice

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in Life and Family
This morning I woke up with a sore knee. I’ve never had knee problems so I first thought I had just slept on it wrong. As the day wore on, the knee got worse. So much so, by about lunch time, I could barely walk. Of course, my wife and...

NFL Week 7

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in NFL
Well, last week was a little better for me. 9-4 and a fantasy win. But I already have a feeling this week is going to be pretty lame. My wife and I are a team in our pick league, but I end up making all the picks. Well, this week...

Bruce Springsteen and Feist

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in Music
Magic – Bruce Springsteen (C-) I’ve never been a big Springsteen fan and this is not the album to buy to become one, which is sad considering all the critical acclaim this project has received. If the pictures in the jacket are accurate, the E-Street Band has about 50 members (9...

Two Churches?

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in Asides
Yeah, I go to two churches. What about it? Oak Leaf Church only meets on Sunday morning since they don’t have their own building yet and FBC Woodstock has stuff going on everyday of the week. Plus my family and I enjoy being involved at both. Is that a problem?...

Needy Church People

Posted 2 years, 4 months ago in Thoughts on Christianity
I’ve been to hundreds of different churches whether as just a visitor or to lead worship in some capacity. They are all different and all have similarities. But one thing I have noticed is consistent at every church is a collection of people who think it is all about them...

A Mighty Big Blessing

Posted 2 years, 5 months ago in Life and Family
Every Saturday night is date night for Jamie and me. Her parents have created a routine for our boys where they take them around 6:00 PM and they spend the night so Jamie can get ready for church with a little less stress that early in the morning. It is...

NFL Week 6

Posted 2 years, 5 months ago in NFL
Well, so much for my streak. Went 7-7 on several upsets and ended up losing my fantasy game in the last two seconds of Monday Night Football. Did you watch that game? I couldn’t believe it. I stopped watching thinking it was done and happened to catch something a few...

Cheap Gas

Posted 2 years, 5 months ago in Life and Family
My wife is the one in the family who keeps all those rewards card things places hand out like candy these days. She packs her wallet full of them just in case she happens to remember to use it the next time she is in the place. Of course, most...
