Here’s a quick update on a the past month or so:
* Shawnda and I had a wonderful weekend away for our 3rd Annual Anniversary in Myrtle Beach, SC. We stayed at our friends family beach house which was across the street from the beach - perfect! This was the first time we had been away [...]

Because I’m So Unregular
Is it Just Me?
Or is it annoying when people where their bluetooth headsets into Starbucks and WalMart while their shopping and ordering coffee. I’ve noticed this for awhile now and it was made even more pronounced when the bad guys on this season of 24 were always shown wearing them (on and off the phone). Personally, I vowed [...]
We Can Never Be Too Confident…
Spurgeon from the other morning (May 23):
"Unbelief insinuates— “You will never be able to stand. Look at the evil of your heart, you can never conquer sin; remember the sinful pleasures and temptations of the world that beset you, you will be certainly allured by them and led astray.†Ah! yes, we should indeed perish [...]
Big Day
Just found out my middle brother Tyler and his wife Leah are pregnant!! They’re due in January. That makes it three for three expecting! What a blessing it will be to have cousins the same age.
Tonight is also the finale of 24. I got addicted this season. Can’t wait to see what happens tonight.

Luther on Feeling Sin

“We comfort the afflicted sinner in this manner: Brother, you can never be perfect in this life, [...]
Where is Our Hope?
Shawnda and I have been faced with the temptation to put our hope and trust in the odds that our baby will not have down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, or any other complication. We saw the specialist yesterday and from his standpoint the odds at this point are good. But, God is so kind to remind [...]

Pray for Our Daughter
We are having a girl! On Monday we had our 20 week ultrasound and found out the kids will be having a little sister. There were some concerns so we are going in again tommorrow to a specialist. Please pray for her health and for our hearts in the midst of this, especially Shawnda’s.
"For you [...]
Hoping to Be More Regular
It’s been a wild couple of weeks. Some of you may know some of what’s been happening if you read Shawnda’s blog. God has been so kind to us. Thank you for all your prayers and love.
Last week I had the privilege of tagging along with our pastors to the Together for the Gospel conference. [...]
