I’ve gotten to know the emergency room at the hospital pretty well this week it seems. I am sitting in it as I type this, and was just here a week before as well. I was here last week because I have a lovely little thing called diverticulitis. It’s actually not as fun as it sounds. Very painful actually...

We had this thing when I worked at Starbucks called the "Starbucks Experience." It stood for the experience we as employees were to create for each customer that walked in the door. We had all these clever acronyms to remind us of every little thing we were supposed to do to ensure the Starbucks experience...

It's tricky business when trying to figure out relationships, especially in the Christian realm. Sadly, I often see very few work out. I think the main reason for that is because, frankly, we don't know what we're doing or how to do it right. Sites like this are a perfect example of how the Christian...

I asked a friend recently if they would let their kids watch Nickelodeon or the Disney channel. He quickly responded, "Yeah, why would I not?" This question entered my mind after watching Nickelodeon a while ago. Let me first say that I do not sit at home watching Nickelodeon on a regular basis. Of course...

My good friend and discipler extraordinaire, Robert Johnson, finally put his web site up. So you should go there and read his stuff, because it's good stuff. Well, for the most part (jk). But seriously, give it a look. There are some great viewpoints and thoughts on life and God. I think a lot of my...

I recently volunteered to lead worship for the homeless in downtown Dallas. This came about because recently I have had the desire to actually do something without anyone telling me or persuading me, or the assistance of any organized thing. The great commission simply says go. And as Christians we are...

I happen to be a big fan of art. Anything that can communicate something with the use of some kind of visual representative or arrangement I consider to be very cool. The use of words, whether in a poem that creatively arranges words in order to communicate something greater, or an underlying theme,...

Christian culture is just...interesting sometimes. But this has to be my favorite song at the moment. Definitely going to work this one up soon. I think the last verse is where it really hits home. You have to give it to them though. At least they are original. The electric guitar player is definitely...

Well there has been a plethora (yes, plethora. Vocab word of the day) of things that have crossed my mind lately that I wanted to write on here. Funny thing is, I ended up not writing about any of them. But I think it's for the best given their nature. So don't think I'm getting lazy. Even though it...

Well I don't really think uncleship is a word but it should be. Or perhaps unclehood ? I don't know. But what I do know is that it's awesome. I'm glad to say I now have a niece. It's pretty sweet. But there has never really been a girl in my family so I'm not sure me and my brothers really know what...
