C.S. Lewis is revered by many Christians for his wonderful stories and contributions to the world of Christian writing.  I must confess that I have yet to read the “Chronicles of Narnia.”  I read “Mere Christianity” back in college; though I wasn’t a very attentive reader back then.  “The Great Divorce” allowed me to wade […]

I finished my first book of 2013 about 3 weeks ago.  The Monster in the Hollows is book three of the Wingfeather Saga written by Andrew Peterson.  I must first confess that Andrew Peterson is my favorite musician, therefore I could be accused of bias.  Nonetheless, this book is a heart warming adventure from cover […]

Familiar site driving around this morning. Hundreds of yellow hardhats and volunteers and disaster relief trailors line stretches of winchester road today. Everyone working hard to remove debris, cut fallen trees, and clean up trash. I believe that God is with us during the storm and that God smiles big watching God’s people respond with […]

Well, I have officially celebrated my first Christmas as a husband and it was great.  It is strange to not be in Texas for this holiday; but I have loved being around my Huntsville and Locust Grove families!

I suppose that all […]

Stories from Texas! Well I’m in Texas right now, enjoying the Christmas holiday with my family.  Yesterday afternoon Casey and I were both reading, DORKS-I know, and i needed a pen.  For making notes of course. lol.  Casey handed me a pen from her purse saying, “that’s my favorite pen!”  I read for a while […]

“Somebody has a case of the muuunnnn-days” I decided to complete the homework assignment that Robby gave on Sunday morning, even against my lazy instincts. Read the book of Ecclesiastes he said. Well that’s exactly what I did last night. Meaningless reading, I say! Meaningless ideas, and meaningless preaching lead to meaningless meaninglessness! What does […]
