I wore green today. I got some really funny looks as I took my shoe off in Starbucks to take this picture!

Adoption
Things are moving faster than we ever expected. We met with birth parents yesterday: We’re in a very surreal place right now. It’s exciting, scary, thrilling, nerve wracking, a jumbled mess of emtions. Prayers appreciated more than you know.

God used Facebook to Punch Me in the Face.
I recently heard sin described as “missing the mark.” Which really explains how integral grace is for us. We need grace. PERIOD. Not deserve it. We can’t expect it. But, need we need it; can’t live without it. It then makes me realize that when I get more concerned about how the “service went […]

Yesterday
There are days that make it a little better to be alive. Yesterday was one of those for me. 1. The new U2 album “No Line On The Horizon” came out. iTunes began my pre-ordered download at 11:57pm on Monday. I then sat up until 2am Tuesday listening to it drink in hand in my […]

Those times when you don’t know what to say.
The last week or so, has been a bit odd for. I’m RARELY short on words, but I’ve found myself not knowing what to say… to blog… in conversation… just speaking/verbalizing anything has been weird for the few rotations of the earth. Maybe part of it was the break in routine being in Atlanta Mon […]

What 48 hours watching can do for your soul
Just before 11pm last night, I pulled into the driveway after being in @lanta, …er… NOT-HOTlanta (whatever it’s called now) from a conference put on by churchplanters.com. Typically, I’m pretty skeptical of “do this” conferences where people (i.e. pastors) come together and watch/learn and 99% of them take it home and try to “cookie cutter”, […]

@lanta, as they call it…
Here in Atlanta, there’s nothing like true southern hospitality… But, the Hyatt has to be the smartest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The “media port area” is a brilliant concept. I want it in my house.

Tuesdays With Harold
“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.” […]

A quick trip, a great ride, a rowdy dog, and “cat poop”
It has been a crazy eventful day. Crosspoint turns 2 in 2 weeks and today we launched our second service. I have a sweating problem… So, adding a second service means twice the sweat, twice the amount of calories burned, and three times the amount of electrolytes I need to replenish. It was crazy! But, […]
