I am officially pumped for today. The new ESPN commercials put it so perfectly when they say that these two words have so much meaning and yet need so little explanation, “Play ball!” Today is the day that no matter if your favorite team is the New York Yankees or the Kansas City Royals, you have [...]

I was reading Exodus 3 & 4 earlier this week. This is where Moses encounters the burning bush. For the longest time I have been intrigued by this moment. It has gone way beyond an entertaining VBS story in my life. It amazes me. It baffles me. To be honest, I have struggled with this chunk of God’s [...]
Am I a real man? That is the comical question I am bringing up for you to ponder. The online urban dictionary defines a real man as “a true man can be best described as rugged and that does not have any fears. A man has a good deal amount of knowledge about tools, cars, the [...]
In Sulphur Springs, Texas we have three big grocery stores: Wal-Mart (yeah, it’s a Super Center), Brookshires, and Piggly Wiggly. While all from time-to-time get customers, one dominates the grocery business in this town. The Wal-Mart Super Center is constantly packed. It has all the advantages: lower prices, more check out lines, ability to buy [...]

One of the ways that ministers often communicate this relationship is by asking individuals if they want Jesus to be the “Lord” of their life.

Four years ago I was living in Atlanta, Georgia. I loved living in Atlanta. It is an amazing city. When Heather and I got the call from God to move to Sulphur Springs, Texas to serve the Shannon Oaks Church as youth ministers, we knew we were sacrificing a lot of earthly/fleshy things. I made a [...]
The New York Yankees today are playing another March spring training game. However, this is not the typical Grapefruit League spring training game. The Yankees have traveled to Blacksburg, Virginia to play an exhibition game against the Virginia Tech Hokies. It is hard to believe that it has almost been a full year since tragedy [...]
Last night I had the privilege to sit down at my computer for 2 and 1/2 hours for a fantasy baseball draft. I play fantasy sports with five of my best friends on this planet. We are competitive but not too hardcore. Anyways, I just thought I would share who I drafted. Meet my fantasy [...]
About a month ago, we took Gaby to our vet because she was having some foot problems. We were hit with some news that all proud parents don’t want to hear: Gaby, our awesome basset hound dog, was over-weight. If I were to be completely honest, the vet said that she was obese. The good [...]
