Someone asked me the other day why I don’t like to travel. They said, “With your adventurous spirit I thought you would love hopping around from city to city.” There was probably a day I enjoyed traveling more than I do now. Because now, no matter how beautiful the city, how exciting the conference, how [...]

Gage had his first school dance the other day. It was actually a 50′s theme day at Kindergarten which featured a “sock hop.” I’m not exactly sure but I think that’s the same thing as a dance. Kind of reminds me of a time in high school when a local church hosted a “foot fellowship.” [...]

I’ve done a lot of weddings. In fact, I’ve done 211 weddings if my memory serves me correctly. With a host of phenomenal campus pastors here at Cross Point I don’t do near as many as I used to. However, this weekend I had the honor of performing the wedding of my former assistant, Wes [...]

There are few things cuter than listening to my kids try to say certain words. I couldn’t help but capture Gage trying to say squash after he had just woofed down his mother’s squash casserole. And yes, sometimes I snort when I laugh.

I always learn such incredible spiritual lessons from my kids. My 6 year-old, Gage, spent the afternoon yesterday with his Nonni planting tomato plants. I heard he prayed for each plant after putting it in the ground. So I asked him, “Gage, why did you pray for the tomato plants?” He said, “Well, Dad, that’s [...]

Most people have a hard time with their youngest child growing up, but not me. I have the hardest time with Gage, our middle (but not average) son, getting older. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s that he’s still more dependent on his parents than his other two brothers. Maybe it has to [...]

The other night we were doing our FX family devotion tool after dinner. FX is the family worship service we do at Cross Point which is designed to provide environments for parents and kids to discover the Word of God together as a family. This month’s virtue is honesty and after our family Bible study [...]

I know part of my job as a parent is leading and teaching my children. I hope I do a fair job at that, but I’m often reminded they teach me a lot as well. The biggest lesson my three boys are teaching me these days is “don’t take life so seriously.” They are literally [...]

Yesterday my son Gage turned 5! I still can’t believe it. It literally seems like just yesterday we were headed to the hospital to give birth to our middle son who is anything but average. Last night after we celebrated his birthday with pizza and milkshakes we got the video of Gage’s birth out. We were [...]

So Saturday was opening day at the Ballpark. Jett and Gage both had their first games of the season. If you’re looking for our family any Saturday for the next couple of months you now know where we’ll be. And in case you don’t make it through all my pictures I would love to know: [...]
