I’m finally starting to settle down after a couple days at Catalyst West Coast. It was two days of jam-packed learning, talking, hobnobbing, singing, and laughing. My brain and my soul were cooked by the end of the last session. Hate to say it, but I can’t remember a word that Nick Vujicik said (I [...]

Miss California on Gay Marriage
I’ve haven’t said anything on here about the gay marriage debates going on this year. I’ve always been worried that I would be misunderstood, no matter how articulate I might aim to be. That’ll probably happen, but… here we go anyways. I read a handful of blogs and articles this morning from some church leaders [...]

Would you like some tea, officer?
A miracle in Mississippi… A man shot his wife in the head and then took his own life. We hear this sort of tragic news way too often. This is definitely a tragic story. But with a twist. The bullet entered the woman’s head through her forehead, went straight through the lobes causing NO MAJOR [...]

breaking news!
According to CNN.com, this is the most important piece of “news” that we need to know about right now. Well, I guess it’s better than another breaking news story about Britney Spears’ cholesterol level or something…

Wickham/Hall Concert
I am pumped for this Thursday’s concert at my church. Phil gets more plays on my iPod than any other artist in the “worship” genre, and Charlie has led me to the throne at a dozen unforgettable events. Favorite Phil Wickham song: Shining Favorite Charlie Hall song: Mystery

Matt Chandler’s got skills.
I saw this clip a few days ago on Tyler Braun’s blog, and I keep going back and watching it. I’m gonna try to watch the entire talk today if I can steal the time away.

my old man hip
For 8 years or so I’ve dealt with pain that is sometimes nagging and sometimes excruciating. Some days I can barely walk; other days I don’t feel a thing. I’ve had days where I couldn’t get out of bed (or even lay in bed) because it hurt so bad. I’ve had MRI’s, x-rays, physical therapy, [...]

iPhone
It took a few months of convincing, but Lindsay finally approved an iPhone purchase today! She’s the financially responsible one (see my student loan balance for proof). Stoked to have everything I need in one device. I’ve actually never really messed with one, so I’m learning about this thing as I go. So I have [...]

Red means STOP
I am fuming. I’ve complained so many times about these moronic red-light runners in California. They’re everywhere. I can’t drive a mile without seeing one. I’d say that I hate them, but that’s more emotion than truth coming through. I hate that their petty hurriedness leads to fatal accidents. Some freaking 22-year-old kid runs a [...]

too little too late
The Suns missed the playoffs. Every year of my life I’ve always heard the same thing: “As soon as we get a big man we’re gonna win it all“. How much bigger do they get than Shaq? Super bummed… Jason Williams Richardson said that “next year is our year“. I’m a believer. In the meantime… [...]
