these are my notes from a breakout session with Paul Baloche: worship leading is a combination of skill and devotion. we have to develop a worship vocabulary. it’s good to be transparent, but we don’t need to dump all our junk every time. some days God just needs us to show up. we don’t need […]
these are my notes from a breakout session with Laura Story. she is from Perimeter Church in north atlanta. 2 truths: we are called to worship. life is hard. when your life gets turned upside down, there comes a point when you realize that getting derailed is now the new path. Gen. 22 tells the […]
so unfortunately the audio and visual problems continue today. very unfortunate. but i am less jaded today and have had some valuable time. the opening general session today began with Fernando Ortega leading worship. i’m not a big fan, and he did mostly hymns, which i’m also not a fan of, and yet, it was […]
so i’m at a national conference, on a megachurch campus, in a massive auditorium, with a huge sound system, surrounded by thousands of people, and the host walks onto the stage and says…nothing. the mic wasn’t on. after a sentence or two, it finally got turned up and we could all hear him. good to […]

So against her better judgement, my wife just made me Scotch-A-Roos yesterday. If you are not familiar with said treat, it is like rice crispy treats on steriods. And chocolate on top. Check our the recipe here. Now, had i found Gawker software earlier, I would have done a video of her baking it. This […]
i name shows. it’s what i do. and it drives my wife crazy. the thing is, there are some decent tv shows on these days, but they are not crazy memorable. so i forget the show title. so i name it. my method is to draw from the more memorable shows of our past and […]
I rode the bus this morning. It is refreshing to be outside walking from stop to stop. I also enjoy the flexibility of transportation. Will I take the car today? The motorcycle? Bicycle? Bus? What will you take?
i’ve wanted an iphone since before they came out. i mean, who hasn’t? but $400-500 for a phone? crazy… so i patiently waited for the right time, the right moment to pull the trigger for the least amount of coin. and it just came. last month, my wife and i switched from sprint to at&t […]
