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

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...

The Brick Testament: Bible in Lego

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago in Uncategorized
I’ve been reading through the Bible with Ean but there are some parts we have to skip over either because they are a little over his head or not exactly the most entertaining passage. Then I came across this. Wish they would cover everything, but it is pretty impressive as...

I received an email from a fellow creative arts pastor, Andy Goswick, asking some leadership questions and I thought i’d post my replies here for all to read. Hope my answers are good. 1. What is worship to you? it is a response to something with wholehearted affection, loyalty, and energy....

Supermodel – Model Parent

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago in Oak Leaf
There are 10,000 gumballs at the OLC office if any body is looking for a fix to there sweet tooth. And if you don’t understand why, you should have been at church. Does anybody read this who does not go to church? I’m actually curious. Does anybody read this anyway....

Don’t you love the fact I forget to post and then go back and post posts as if they were written when the post should have been written? I’m sure that habit makes real bloggers the web over cringe. Anyway, great start to the new series and i’m excited about...

My treo broke and after five years on sprint service, my contract ran out as if the stars were aligning. So, after a successful garage sell, canceling our tv service and home phone line, and the good people at sprint provided me with a new replacement that has found it’s...

Can I get one of these for my house? Better yet, can I get a large one to put on stage? Seriously, how much more intersting would Sunday sermons be with this tol to use for visual aids. How else could something like this be...

12 Quick Leadership Thoughts

Posted 1 year, 4 months ago in Leadership
I read this today and came away with some interesting leadership thoughts. People flock to those who are real and passionate about what they believe (v. 1) Those in authority have authority so listen when they speak (v. 2) But authority does not equal leadership if there is no respect or exemplification (v....

Art in the Ordinarily Boring

I love finding stuff like this because it shows how it only takes an idea and some determination to make something really beautiful and creative from relatively nothing new. Just so you know, the videos below are all done without CGI or massive post-production effects. They are real boats, real...

I’ve been wanting to write some of my thoughts on all this political mess for sometime. I ran across this blog and could only read a couple of posts before my eyes were starting to stick the top of my head so I had to move on and hope the...
