We’ve hit the ground running in 2008: both Melody and Jeremy have returned to school. Melody is working diligently on her Master’s of Education in Counseling (while simultaneously juggling the demands of full-time motherhood, and doing a wonderful job). Jeremy has begun work on his Master’s of Historical Theology […]

Chris Moore, the latest member of the WELL’s ministry team (and mighty fine disc golfer), delivered a great message on speech and the tongue (you can listen to the podcast here). He highlighted these two proverbs:
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life
But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence
Proverbs 10:11 (ESV) […]

 
Will, my friend and former band-mate, got me into Minus the Bear.  Lovin’ it…Pachuca Sunrise is addictive, so at least invest a buck to download that one…it’s tasty for sure.

Andy is my friend. We ride bikes when it’s not cold. He’s a talented artist, so check out his work here.
Oddly, he drinks coffee with a straw (as pictured here). I took this picture with his iPhone…and it was awesome.

In the great 80’s film Say Anything, Lloyd (played by John Cusack) is a high school graduate trying to figure out the next step in his life.  During a dinner with his girlfriend’s father, he’s asked about his plans.  Lloyd replies, “I don’t want to buy, sell, or process anything.  I don’t want to buy […]

I’m not really a mustache man…I have a goatee. Divide the Sea has an album called Mustache. Peter Griffin is a hero with a mustache…I’m not sure…maybe I’ll grow one. So, listen to that band, watch this clip, and don’t shave….ever…

In 1 Kings 3:3-14, Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, does not ask for riches, fame, or for long life: he asks for wisdom.  What good are all the others  unless you have the wisdom to manage it all?  In return, God blesses Solomon with even what he does not ask for- but God […]

Once again, Wes has introduced me to a great band: Editors.  In general, the music is somewhat typical new-school, high-energy British rock: a very distinct sound. The vocal style reminds me of the Killers, Interpol, and Talking Heads blended together.  Their latest album An End Has a Start is worth a listen.  The album starts […]

It’s been two years since I completed my M.Div. in Biblical Languages from New Orleans.  I’ve longed to get back in the academic realm, and thankfully I have the opportunity to continue in my education.  No matter what field of study or profession, followers of Christ should truly strive to be good stewards of their […]

In the series Stars: 5 Stories that point toward the first Christmas, we’ve seen how Creation, Abraham, Moses, and David lead to Jesus and the first Christmas. For generations people waited in anticipation for God to fulfill His promise.
As the first century approached, Israel was occupied by Rome. Deified Caesars ruled, claiming […]
