Inspired by Jeremy, I dug up an old Facebook tag. For those of you used to expecting distinguished and profound posts from me, you’ll be so disappointed… For those of you who know me, this will assure you that I am still not distinguished and profound.

I intercepted a note in 5th or 6th grade that [...]

A Model for Making Disciples: John Wesley’s Class Meeting
by D. Michael Henderson

It’s amazing the power of what’s been done before. I believe I first heard the term “chronological snobbery” from John Piper. He used it in an effort to communicate the danger of the cult of “now” and our culture’s obsession with the latest and [...]

I have a friend who left a comment that seemed to question my intelligence about the incident that took place here. I want to explain myself. To borrow from Paul Harvey, here’s the rest of the story…
Our friends, Ralph and Christy Ramsey with their daughter Hannah, came to visit us in Virginia. It was a [...]

Our church was thrilled and blessed to be able to host the Glory in the Highest Concert in December. Thanks to Legacy campus ministry, we were able to use Burruss Auditorium at VT. It featured Shane & Shane, Phil Wickham and Bethany Dillon.
They were all incredible, and we were amazed at the turnout and how [...]

It’s a long story that I’ll supply later this week when I get to it, but without any further ado, here’s “The Fall 2010.”

Courageous Leadership
by Bill Hybels
So… Bill Hybels is the founding and lead pastor of Willowcreek Church in Barrington, Illinois. His church averages 23,000 attendees on the weekends, and its the 4th largest church in the U.S. He founded the church out of a burden for reaching youth and young people back in 1975, and it’s obviously [...]

Snowed In Announcements

Because we cancelled church today due to snow, Cody made this great video to show.

I guess I’ve got sweet blood.
I’ve known I was an easy target for stinging creatures for a long time now. I still haven’t quite figured out why they like me. Yet because I am well aware that flying insects are truly WMDs (Wasps of Mighty Destruction), I am pretty sensitive to their presence.
That hypersensitivity is [...]

I saw this entry over at Michael Kelly’s blog and wanted to ask you what your experiences with famous people are as well.

Who’s the most famous person you’ve almost met?

Or…

Who’s the most famous person you’ve met that you didn’t know was famous?

I have a famous person fetish. I don’t know why. Carolyn thinks I’m insane, [...]

Thank you, Google, first of all, for providing free airport WIFI in Baltimore. I despise airport WIFI charges, and Boingo is one of the worst offenders, but when we arrived for a layover enroute to New Mexico, we were delighted to find the message that Google has partnered with Boingo to provide free WIFI in [...]

Be careful of pretensions of autonomy. Jesus reminds us, “I chose you.”
In the conclusion of this powerful message called “It Is the Spirit Who Gives Life” by John Piper of Bethlehem Baptist Church on December 27, 2009, Piper points out from John 6 that “whenever resistance to Jesus starts to mount – and we feel [...]

I’ve always been enthralled by the ability of the iPhone to allow you to use location-based apps. I wrote an early entry about Loopt vs Whrll. Since then, there’ve been a series of great apps out using the phone’s capabilities from the start, among them:

Loopt
Whrll
Brightkite
Gowalla

I wrote reviews of the above apps while I was writing [...]

What a year! It was begun fighting cancer in southeast Arkansas, and it is ending with a healthy family in Virginia. We are humbled and amazed at all that has been done in and through our lives this past year.
Before I write an entry on looking forward, I wanted to look back. So I thought [...]

My best friend was born 39 years ago today.
It’s amazing to think we’ve been married for 17 years, but we’ve been friends since her freshman year in college. I was a senior when I first met her. I was working at Third Street Baptist Church in Arkadelphia, Arkansas as their youth minister.
I needed someone to [...]
