We are starting the year off with a series on spiritual disciplines. I mean, what better time to talk about all the things we SHOULD be doing to draw closer to God than when everyone is making their lists of things they want to do better. We will be covering five habits that are guaranteed to lead to a better you.

My wife wrote a post about giving up sweets. If you’ve ever followed my blog or know me you know I’ve tried every diet known to man. I’ve confessed to food being an addiction and still have yet to overcome this particularly sinful area of my life. Gluttony is probably taking it a bit too far but the line is very blurry sometimes.

Diets are an everyday start-up that usually fail by lunch. Nobody wants to have meetings at salad ...

Last night I was not only blessed to see one of the biggest games of the year from an executive suite at the dome but got to ...

There was quite the snow and ice storm on Christmas this year. Beautiful to look at…not so great to drive in. Churches were closing for services left and right so our staff started discussing what we should do. We already knew the crowd was going to be small being so close to Christmas day so it sort of seemed like the best idea considering the circumstances.

Then Jamie and I started talking football.

You see, Jamie and I love the Falcons and ...

…my first white Christmas.

The picture does not do the beauty justice.

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 “rockstars.”
