Maybe I give out more information about myself than I should, but I think if you’re going to read my blog, you need to know a little about the person who writes it. The following is a questionnaire that someone asked me to fill out. And while I usually hate this stuff … I actually [...]

I really need to get busy. I’ve got a busy Monday ahead and don’t really have time to be thinking about the following things … but I am. So here are a few things I SHOULDN’T be thinking about …. but I am: BIRTHDAYS: Thanks for all the birthday wishes on Facebook. I had a [...]

Yesterday was “fill-a-sack” Sunday. We shared a LOT of bags of groceries with those in the Childress community who could use one. I love the church in Childress and the way it serves the community.

Went on my first deer hunting trip this morning with my buddy Randy Allen. We saw an amazing sunrise and some beautiful deer. I really enjoyed the trip …. well, most of it. Everything was cool except when Randy felt the need to cover our scent by whipping out a bottle of raccoon urine, and spraying the [...]

Many of you have heard me mention my friend Marc Tindall before. Marc is the missionary in Honduras that I work with and a very special person in my life. Marc has started regular blogging on is ministry in Hondruas. I am always touched by Marc’s posts, but the one this morning really got to [...]

Augment: Our “Extreme Home Makeover” here in Childress is coming along nicely. Read about it here and here. This week we’re hoping the new electricity, plumbing & heat/air will all be done. The house is totally gutted and we’re ready to do something other than demolition. Soon we’ll be starting windows, roof and floors. Everyday [...]

It’s been 30 days since my post on giving up soft drinks. Since then I haven’t had a one …. nor have I been willing to buy one for anyone else. It’s been a good 30 days. I’ve saved a lot of money… and I like that. How about you? Were you able to do [...]

I love professional football and I’m hoping the Cowboys will do well this year. I’m SUPER excited that the NFL officially kicks off tonight.  Here are a few of my picks for this year… AFC Championship: Ravens vs Patriots (I just can’t go with the Jets … too much hype on them this year. Nothing [...]

Yesterday a bunch of us decided that we were giving up sodas, cokes, etc. I was thinking, “Why put something in my body that’s not good for me.” In fact, I decided that I’m not even buying soft drinks for my family for a month. If they want one, they have to use their money [...]

Did you know that 1 can of Coke (Dr. Pepper, etc) has 12 teaspoons of sugar? Now multiply that by however many sodas you typically consume in a day. Think of it this way … 3 cans of soda = 36 whopping teaspoons of sugar! That’s a LOT of sugar! Just think how much easier [...]

HAITI: Just some perspective on what has happened in Haiti. The death toll of hurricane Katrina was around 1300. The death toll from the 9/11 attacks were around 6000, and the Haiti death toll (estimate at this time) is 50,000 people. The pictures (warning: graphic) coming out of Haiti are heartbreaking. I would love to [...]
