Two pieces of scripture have always been pretty powerful for me. The first is: John 10: 10 “The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full.” That one is great because it is a blessing and a warning. Jesus tells us…
Just a little something for Friday night. Here.  1 1
Earlier this week, I wrote an article about Generation Y. In response to the Virginia Tech tragedy and in realization of the many public acts of terror that this generation has always known, I was asked the question of how does this generation see the gospel and how does it speak to them. Because of…
I haven’t watched much TV in the past couple of months. It wasn’t a conscience decision, really. I just don’t like much of what is on. I used to be a real fan of Lost, but this season has just been a big disappointment. It has been plagued with so much back ground information and…

There is just something very special to me about being in Birmingham in the Spring. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but it seems to me that it is just more beautiful here than other places I have experienced Spring. And Spring is a special time in my heart. Today I took the fam out for breakfast…
I haven’t posted in a while and though I have had lots to say, just couldn’t get myself to blog about anything. What brought me out of my silence? This: Special Report Top 20 Youth Ministers Hmmm… The top twenty youth ministers? What the crap is that? I can’t for the life of me figure…
