What do you get when you cross the Mos Eisley cantina with South of the Border?  Casa Bonita.  By far the strangest restaurant experience I’ve ever shared with my wife (thanks Trey and Alison for the recommendation).  Complete with cliff diving, staged gun fights, a fire-juggling man in a gorilla suit, puppet shows…the list goes […]

Some of my favorite local photography:
Colleen McBride (she writes with light).  Though I’ve known Colleen and her husband for a while, I recently discovered her work at Aroma Cafe and Wine bar in Surrey Center.

Andy Donnan (Donnan Photography).  We’re long time friends. Andy’s taken some great shots of my child.  I took this pic with […]

In modern times we often find ourselves in a debate of both practice and words (i.e. the recent “emergent conversations”).
I’m a big fan of Ed Stetzer (check out a previous post).  He taught at NOBTS while I was a student.  His friendship with Acts 29 and his ongoing books and research are always insightful and […]

I’ve been meaning for some time to check out this show. It comes on the radio on Sunday morning during our church worship gathering, so I always miss it. However, I finally subscribed to the Speaking of Faith podcast and even searched the archives. The episode A History of Doubt (archived podcast […]

I live in Augusta, GA - home of the Masters Golf Tournament. The tradition of golf is huge in this town (although I’m much better at disc golf), but not everyone knows the local tradition of watching the planes take off after the tournament. Locals flock to the supermarket parking lot across the […]

For the first time in my life, I attended an auction. Today, Melody, Emaline, and I went to the Fat Man’s “pre-demolition” auction: a cultural experience of ridiculous proportions! Like a scene from a movie, a fast talking man with a bullhorn rapidly and rhythmically spouted off numbers and instructions, conjuring up responses […]

Augusta is a unique city. This weekend, I randomly read the wikipedia entry about Augusta. Take a minute to explore our fine city- rich in history with a tinge of embarrassment. However, it’s a great place with amazingly large opportunities and potential. Read the wikipedia article here.

We’ve got ninjas. Serious southern-rock metal ninjas. I’ve never met this guy, but I hope to. He plays in a rad band: Divide the Sea. Check out the video of Brett below:

Yesterday, I drove to Raleigh, NC on some “church business” and to see some friends at Vintage 21 church. My sweet sister Jessie rode with me and we experienced the joys of traveling up I-95…, namely “South of the Border.”
South of the Border is truly a (creepy) phenomenon. Only in the south would […]

To my dismay, the south has some dark corners. This song is rad and the video displays my fear of the “good ol’ boy” justice in the south.

For other glimpses of life in the dirty south, check out Part 1 and Part 2 (which are both a bit more on the humorous side).
