I’d love to think that I was her number 1 crush, but that may be wishful thinking. She’s got some pretty serious crushing going on for Mr. Lenny Kravitz. But I’m ok with it because, number 1, I snagged her first (sucka), and 2nd I’ve got a little somethin’ for Angelina Jolie so it balances [...]
This is Richard and Janna Phelps, they are very good friends of ours that live near Birmingham. They are expecting their first child in September. Last night we got a call letting us know that Janna was being rushed to the hospital because she was diagnosed with preeclampsia. Which, as most of you know, is [...]
An excerpt from The Velveteen Rabbit. ‘What is REAL?’ asked the Rabbit one day, as they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, just before Nana came in to tidy up the room. ‘Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle’ ‘Real isn’t how you are made,’ said the [...]
As I shared in my previous post, there were several moments in the new Chronicles of Narnia film, Prince Caspian, that opened my eyes to truths that I needed to see. It’s so easy for our faith to become stale, and its a beautiful thing to find it reawakened in the most unexpected places, like [...]
I’m not necessarily one of those that spiritualizes every movie or whatever, but obviously our dear ol’ C.S. Lewis’ work is full of parallels to our life as a believer. And I can’t pass that up. Now to be honest, I didn’t really loooove the newest Narnia movie Prince Caspian. For lots of reasons that [...]
I realize this post is way after the fact, but I came across Josh Harris’ blog today and he’s got an extremely interesting series of post about the phenom that was Idol doing Hillsong. It was the closing song of their Idol Gives Back telethon in which they raised over 60 million dollars for kids [...]
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.� I don’t remember who said it, (if you do, leave it in a comment) but it’s one of those things that has stuck with me. [...]
We walked out on the balcony this morning to find that the Gulf is calm. And I don’t mean just a little either. It’s calmer than I’ve ever seen it and I’ve lived in this area my entire life. It’s more like a lake today, barely any movement in the water at all. Which totally [...]
I need some help with my reading list. First off, I’m not a great reader, as in I never finish a book. I start it, get about half way through it and then quit. On top of that I rarely ever start a book unless I have really good motivation. Now I buy books regularly… [...]
Toward the end of last year, our Pastor was speaking on evangelism and he made the statement that our biggest tool for soul winning was our own story. He went on to challenge everyone to think through their stories. Remember them. Prepare them. Not just the story of our conversion, but more than that, the [...]
Beck and I have been juggling 1 car for over a year now. Â Its been tough. Like crazy tough. It’s a good thing we only live a few blocks from the church so its been easy to bum rides off Shano (thanks man). And last week that all changed… Last week, my uncle hooked me [...]
Friday was a big day in our home. We took Bella to see her first movie, Horton Hears a Who. Â It was a blast, considering her age (17 months), she did extremely well. Â When she first saw that screen light up her heart fluttered as mine always does and her eyes popped out of her [...]
