Champs

We are officially done with little league - for now. Caleb’s team finished in last place. Sorry Caleb. I blame the coach. Mason’s team won it all! They are Champions of the World Conway!
We head out Monday for St. Louis. I can’t wait. We’re staying in the [...]

Question

Do you believe that as we grow deeper in our walk with God the enemy begins to intensify his work on us?

Get Out of the Way!

Today I’m convicted that I need to let God be in control. This morning I spent the bulk of my prayer time turning my worries and stresses over to Him. I don’t know why that is so difficult to do – but it is. In my mind, I was like the kid [...]

My Girlfriend

My little girlfriend turned 10 yesterday! I can’t believe it. I don’t feel old enough to have a child that age. It seems like it was just yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital.
Hers were the first diapers I ever changed. Crystal and I were a nervous [...]

That bottom on the right represents one season behind us. Caleb did end the season with a bang though. He hit a home run and made a couple of really good plays in the field.

Even though our team stunk, Caleb and I had a great time together. There’s nothing like the drive home rehearsing [...]

Double Elimination

I got an email from the commissioner of our Little League this week. It wasn’t good. He had bad news. The only way it could have been worse is if he wanted me to know that my team would now be called the Cubs!
The bad news: the end of the year tournament [...]

95% White

Yesterday I witnessed three white men at a McDonald’s parking lot wrestling one black man to the ground. It happened near a busy street. I saw a few other white men who were driving by screech to a halt, jump out of their vehicles, and assist the three men. The police quickly [...]

Two Things

Two things I know today:
1. The prayerful life is the only life I want to live. Prayer doesn’t make stuff happen. It ushers us - mind, body and soul - into “the God way.” In prayer we don’t make stuff happen as much as we get to experience what has been happening. [...]

Happy Fathbirthday!

Dad, in honor of Father’s Day and your 60th birthday, I wish you a very merry Fathbirthday. You might have made a few mistakes along the way – but you were the best dad I’ve ever had!
You were my best dad when you posed with the mannequins at Sears – and scared people as [...]

To Hell And Back

Do you believe God speaks to us in dreams? I’m a “yes” and “no” when it comes to that kind of stuff. I feel awkward about over-interpreting every breeze that blows as a direct command or word from God. But I do believe that the Holy Spirit is very active in our [...]
