A very unique Mother’s Day

May 10, 2010

Andrea had an opportunity to share a part of our story with our church this weekend during our Mother’s Day service.  Normally, Mother’s Day is one of the hardest days of the year for Andrea due to the fact that we’ve been struggling for some time with trying to have children.  While I think it [...]

Thinking alot about Matt Chandler

January 30, 2010

Not sure why, but the Lord has put Matt Chandler and his struggles with cancer on my heart as of late…especially since a couple of tweets from yesterday.  Here they are:

Thanks for all the prayers today…feeling better and headed to bed…prayed a lot today…hurting really does draw us near!
Tough night and day…lots of nausea [...]

Fearfully and wonderfully made

January 25, 2010

I was listening to this song today on the way home by Matt Redman called Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.  There’s never been a time that I listen to this song and it doesn’t grip my soul, and today, it did again.  I don’t know about you, but in my humanity, I am constantly questioning.  Why [...]

A new year’s resolution

January 1, 2010

Found a song on a friend’s blog today and it stirred some thoughts.  I want to do more than just try to hear God’s voice, or think I’m hearing God’s voice…but I want to follow up that faith with action.  Far too often these days, I find myself not listening (or better said…not paying attention).  [...]

Lift Your Eyes Up

December 20, 2009

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
Psalm 121:1
It’s so easy to let frustrations get the best of you.  And I’m the worst offender.  I’m task-oriented and very vision-driven.  So, it’s easy for me to get tunnel vision, and that can be both good and bad.  The bad part is [...]

America’s ever broadening double standard

November 23, 2009

There are times whenever I’m not even sure what country I live in anymore.  And last night watching the American Music Awards was one of those times.  The American culture is quickly transforming into something that I fear will soon be unrecognizable from one generation to the next.  Our values are changing, our creative expression [...]

How do you find your identity?

November 2, 2009

Living a life in Christ is an adventure for sure and I’m slowly learning that the process of discovering myself is an ongoing one.  This past weekend, I was able to be part of the worship experience here at Cross Timbers where I currently serve as the Technical Director.  I realized something for the first [...]

This is right where I’m at…

October 29, 2009

My wife forwarded me this blog today from Mark Batterson.  I find myself right in this spot right now.  What a word.  Take a moment to read it…it may just be a word for you too.  Also, if you are not reading Mark’s blog…go there now and visit often at www.evotional.com.

The truth…it’s really simple.

October 26, 2009

We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don’t maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don’t twist God’s Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in [...]

Inspired to keep pushing

October 25, 2009

Drew Brees and the Saints go on to win over the Miami Dolphins 46-34 in the 4th QTR.  Truly, this game today was one of the best football games I’ve ever seen.  In this moment, I feel inspired to keep pushing by a man who himself just did not give up in the face of [...]
