Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone out there has an awesome Christmas…

The Infomercial

When I first heard about the Obama infomercial the other night, I must admit – I laughed.  But understand this:  I didn’t laugh because of my political views or any negative opinion of Barack Obama.  I didn’t laugh because it reminded me of Ross Perot’s infomercial years ago.
I laughed because I thought of Billy Mays. [...]

Great day

My wife had the day off today, so we decided to get the heck out of Decatur for a little bit.  We went down to Birmingham (our old stomping ground), paroused the musical goodness at Guitar Center, then had a fantastic lunch at Jim N’ NIck’s BBQ (best chicken fingers on the planet).  I’ll share [...]

For the record…

…I have been an avid proponent of anything not “Apple” for about 10 years.  My brother was an early adopter years ago by buying an Apple G4 (or equivalent) desktop computer.  Then he got an iPod.  I was against doing that for myself, because (1) Apples (and apple-related stuff) cost a lot more than PCs and (2) I [...]

37

Today, I’m 3 years from 40.  13 years from 50.  Yikes.  Oh, well.  You can fight age or roll with it, like any kind of change.  I may be older, but it’s great to have my own family – a great wife and 2 great kids.  I wouldn’t trade 37 for “youth” any day of [...]

You hang out with “them?”

Last night, a girl at our small group said she recently had conversation with an older woman, and informed her that she went to Crosspoint (and clarified it was the church – our church – which meets in the theater behind the mall).  Upon hearing that, the older woman commented something like, “Oh…that’s nothing but [...]

Random mid-weekisms

We had our first small group for the fall tonight.  Awesome crowd!  However, Jason and I were the only men there.  8 women, 2 guys, lots of kids running around…chaos, but in a good way.  Thankfully, Jason and I didn’t start scrapbooking or or telling childbirth stories.
Grace said she would sign her mom up to [...]

A Reluctant Farewell…

What felt like such a “far off” time is now finally here, and I’m having to say goodbye to some close friends and fellow band members.  So I thought it would be more than appropriate to blog about them and honor them for their inspiration and their involvement for the past few years.  Keep in [...]
