It’s hard to believe that I’ve been blogging for almost 5 years now. Beginning with a trip overseas in September 2006 I thought that I would only use it to chronicle my travel stories. Little did I know that it would become an integral part of my life and help me rediscover the joy of [...]

Sometimes you have to take two steps back in order to move one step forward. This weekend we retraced my wife’s steps in high school with her 30th HS reunion at Tom Clark High School. I have my own history with San Antonio. Right after college I came here fresh out of college, going to [...]

Embrace Uncertainty Those were the words that greeted me on December, 27, 2010—the morning of my 47th Birthday. I didn’t know what they meant. We were in Lubbock for the Christmas holidays and as usual, my birthday falls in the midst of Christmas and New Years, and yes, it’s anti-climatic. I’d much rather move it [...]

Today’s post comes from my friend Jan Owen who has walked through her own season of change. I’ve decided that I really do not like change. Some changes in our lives are joyous ones (marriage, children, new job or home) and some are more difficult and filled with grief (the loss of a job or [...]

While passing through some grassland yesterday on my way to Albany, Texas, I saw a huge sign posted by one of the counties that said BURN BAN IN EFFECT. It’s a notice to the public not to carelessly toss out any cigarettes, or starting any careless fires. With the lack of rain and hotter temperatures, [...]

Fast Tube by Casper So, over the course of the last two years Glee has gone from an unknown almost cancelled television show to a culture changing and impacting movement (we had show choir this year because our kids begged for it). I have to ask the question ( as my friend did on his [...]
I’m Writing A Book. Would You Read It?
May 18th, 2011

It’s been there for a while. My book–the one I’ve always wanted to write. I think I’m ready. Talking to an encourager last night, they told me “You should write a book!” I thought that was odd because I had just considered a thought about it earlier in the day. Then I began to think [...]

Today we face a problem. We have MORE than any other generation has ever experienced: more technology, more information, more opportunities, more…more..more. And with more comes the responsibility of taking charge of our lives and editing out the things that no longer are needed. It’s the big buzz word these days: Edit, Edit, Edit. What [...]
5 Things I Learned From Being On A Team
February 3rd, 2011

No doubt this weekend we will hear countless stories from the Super Bowl about how the Packers or Steelers did this or that because of teamwork. I kind of like to hear these back stories and their perspective on achieving a goal together. Reading today in one of my books they challenged me to think [...]
