Half My Life…

June 30, 2007

I’ve been married for half of my life. To the same woman.

To the same gorgeous, lovely, wonderful woman.

Twenty-three years ago today, I stood at the front of Rainbow Park Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia and watched as the most beautiful woman I’ve seen before or since made her grand entrance. Wow!

Twenty-three years later, I wouldn’t trade a minute of the trip. Bumps and all.

Thanks, Buddy, for the greatest half-of-a-life any man could ever want.

EYE HEART U!


Unwind Update…

June 25, 2007

If you’re into the blues and big bands, it just doesn’t get any better than B.B. King, Lucille, the GRP All-Stars and Stormy Monday Blues!

Oh, and that would be “DOCTOR B.B. King” to you, buddy!

Talk about a hodgepodge! This is is going to be one long and varied evening!


“But I Still Think He’s a Man of God…”

June 25, 2007

Overheard today, referring to a pretty well-known young pastor who’s leading his church to some pretty amazing growth…

He’s a crass, arrogant, redneck SOB, but I still believe he’s a man of God, and I believe every word he says!


Stormin’ Norman Says…

Came across this quote from General Norman Schwarzkopf…

Your organization will never get better unless you are willing to admit that there is something wrong with it.

Talk about perfect “unwind” stuff! Go check out AccuRadio’s Textures channel…

(I’ve been in one of those New-Agey, Windham Hill kind of moods all day long.)


Boomers Still Coming Back to Church?

Finishing the Cloud book tonight…starting Ed Stetzer’s book immediately afterward…


What Is It About Wednesday Night?

June 20, 2007

Dang! For the last few weeks, every Wednesday night has left me just bummed out! I don’t really know why.

Our students show up at church, and they have a big time. After their meeting, I get to hang out for a while with the world’s greatest student pastor (and for the last month or so, the world’s greatest student pastor’s wife!). We laugh, we talk, we diss each other’s musical tastes, we drink coffee.

But I come home in a funk. And I stay in that funk usually until some time on Thursday afternoon.

No idea why, just wondering out loud, I guess…

Ottmar Liebert CD Cover

Breaking out another oldie-moldie-goldie for a wet Tuesday night unwind. If you look up “laid back” in the dictionary, Ottmar Liebert’s picture would probably be there. Well, if you looked it up in some sort of media-friendly digital dictionary, his music would be there! Kind of flamenco meets New Age.

Good stuff for a working Tuesday night, with this strange, unfamiliar wet stuff dropping out of the sky…
