How hard is it to just fire a player when they screw up so bad they singlehandedly lose the game for the rest of the team? In the corporate world, it is just as easy as saying, “your fired.” I watched Donald Trump do it 19 times a season. Half the Falcons team needs to be fired. starting with Deangelo Hall. I don’t really want to get rid of our best players, but if ...

Stress is knowing I’ve got one week to pull off something that is way over my head and the one day I set aside to double check the functionality of everything ends up a total wash and I’m starting to think I’ve forgotten something really important but once I figure it out it will be too late and I’m going to miss three good working days next week playing a school retreat that I’m excited about but feel like I’ll ...

Seeing as how I am approaching this whole blogging thing from a new direction and being inspired by my pastor to really get out there and blog about something people may actually be interested in reading, I am beginning a new series where I review the music I’m listening to. So check back every Tuesday (or Wednesday as it might be really late before I get it posted) and see what I think about the latest tunes. Though I won’t ...

My brother is typically way more knowledgeable about sports teams and professional athletes than I am, but I was definitely right on this one. Last year the Saints came out of nowhere and everyone thought they had a chance to make it all the way to the dance. Labor Day weekend we gathered at my parent’s newly finished basement and watched what some people said was a preview of this year’s Super Bowl – Colts vs Saints. Not being completely ...

Jamie and I have tried for years to get plugged into a Sunday School class or a small group but have always faced some sort of inevitable hang-up. Despite our record, having attended Oak Leaf as a family for about seven months now, we were anxious to get involved in a Journey Group (that’s what we call them). Tonight was a big step in the right direction. Though only half of our group was able to meet tonight, we decided ...

Yes, the running gags ran way too much, but in the end, several lives were changed. I have to admit, I’m not sure I ever thought I’d be at a part of a church that participated in something called Porn Sunday. But I am thankful I am a part of a church that is willing to tackle issues for the sake of bringing people closer to God most other churches won’t touch with a 29.5 foot pole. I have to ...

Well, amidst all the frustration of getting my blog up and running, I missed posting the first two weeks of my picks. Which is probably a good thing since right now I am 7 and 25. Seeing as how at this point last year I was the complete opposite of that, I’m thinking maybe beginners luck had a fair amount to do with it. Nevertheless, I’m still going to give it a shot again this year along with this Fantasy ...

Jamie, Ean, and I decided to wake Spencer up this morning with a light-hearted rendition of “Happy Birthday.” Maybe it was the three different keys or maybe the massive volume, but Spencer didn’t like it very much. While most parent’s choose to take their 3 year-old to McDonald’s or Chuck E. Cheese or some place where they can deplete their energy, we decided to take him to my parent’s house. He does love his Poppa and Baybeth, but the main ...

Well, after years of trying to figure out how to get a cool looking website from all my friends who want to “help me out,” I’ve decided I would rather just be plain old me and do it myself. Besides, I’ve enjoyed journaling on Myspace for some time now and have been challenged to keep it up more frequently, so what better way to do that than just make my site my blog. So here it is. A work in ...
