It was nice to see Bush not take himself so seriously yesterday in the final press conference of his presidency. During the press conference he took a stab at himself by digging out an old Bushism and using the word “misunderestimate“.  This was a word he stated in the immediate aftermath of the disputed 2000 [...]

I was reading last week about an annual philosophy competition called the Great American Think-Off.  This year’s competition features a tricky brainteaser question of morality. The question competitors must answer in an essay is… Is it ever wrong to do the right thing? There are some really stinking smart people participating in this forum, but [...]

Hope you guys all have a great weekend (unless you’re from Baltimore). We’ve got our jerseys on and we’re ready for the big game! If you’re in Nashville and you’re coming to Cross Point Nashville for the kick-off of the Paralyzed series would you consider doing us a favor: 1) Consider attending the 8:30, 11:45 [...]

Had the opportunity to hang with the boys by myself last night while Brandi was at drama practice for Kidstuff. I can handle the boys, but now that we’ve added a puppy to the mix I must admit I’m in over my head. I’m not sufficiently gifted to keep my eyes on three little boys [...]

Yesterday someone read a quote from my message on Sunday which Jenni had put on her blog. The quote was, “We need to stop playing church and start being the church.” This person contacted me and asked me what I really meant. A quote of that nature probably deserves further clarification. It means we need [...]

I’m so excited about the new series we’re launching this Sunday at Cross Point Nashville entitled “Paralyzed”. I have a feeling many of us are entering into this new year with a sense of fear. Fear of failure. Fear of unknown. Fear of financial crisis. I would love for you to complete this sentence. Going [...]

The weather here in Nashville has been amazing. Saturday it was so nice we took the boys to the park to ride their bikes. Jett’s been riding for a while and Brewer rides a big wheel (my personal favorite), but Gage is just staring to ride his bike using training wheels. While he can ride [...]

I was off last Sunday and spent some great time with my family. Early Sunday morning I found myself  driving around with my son, Jett, and we passed several churches getting ready to start services and a few letting out. I’m a people watcher so I really enjoyed watching people interact in the church parking [...]
