We have all heard the saying “you learn something new everyday”. I am a big believer in this rule. In fact, I learned something today that I will immediately put into practice, starting with this post. (WARNING: THIS IS INCREDIBLY RANDOM AND IS NOT SPIRITUAL AT ALL.) When I was a junior in high school, [...]

Today, Josh Hamilton turns 27 today. For those of you who don’t know Josh Hamilton, he is the soon to be All-Star outfielder for the Texas Rangers who is currently leading the American League in RBIs. Now I do not him personally, but I know his incredible story. Hamilton was selected number one overall by [...]
My life has been extremely busy and hectic lately. Ministry this time of the year is always by far the busiest time of the year. My life has been consumed lately by Bible studies, Growth Groups, Sulphur Springs Workcamp, IMPACT, China meetings, fundraising, the Awakening, preparing for summer interns, and much more. This time of [...]
After being bugged all day by not being able to remember where I first heard the idea of sleep being spiritual and after doing a lot of research (with the help of Heather), we finally found where we first heard this (we think). It is from the book The Life You’ve Always Wanted by John [...]

When God created the earth, he made man to have a perfect walking and talking relationship with God. It took all of three pages in my Bible for humanity to screw that up in what is commonly referred to as “the Fall of Man”. When that happened, Scripture talks about or consequences that resulted [...]
Have you ever seen those news reports about people who claim to have seen the face of Jesus miraculously appear in random objects? All you got to do is google “Jesus Sightings” and you will come across some of the most bizarre, yet entertaining stories of people who see Jesus pretty much everywhere. I [...]
Earlier today I had the chance to go to the Sulphur Springs Middle School. A lot of the local church youth groups get together once a semester (twice a year) for a big night of combined worship in a service we call The Awakening. For marketing purposes and showing a sign of unity all the [...]
On a normal work day, I really enjoy going home to eat lunch and hang out with all three of my girls: Heather and my two dogs (Gaby and Kate). When I was there today, Gaby and Kate secretly pulled me over to the side and wanted me to share a Mother’s Day letter they [...]
