After being cautiously optimistic about Mississippi State’s football chances this season, they were summarily dashed last night as they made a trip to Ruston, Louisiana. As the first SEC team to ever play IN Ruston, the visiting Bulldogs were a favorite. But poor mistakes and dumb plays doomed them. They started out well. Then the wheels [...]

As we gear up for our big launch for small groups for the fall, Tuesday night we had a meeting of small group leaders. It was a BBQ dinner at our house. And it was fun. It was great to have a group of leaders together like that and see their desire for the people [...]

Better late than never, right? I still made it up before 11pm on Tuesday!
I’m not sure why, but Mr. Brightside is one of my favorite songs by The Killers. And these guys do a really great accoustic version of it. The guitar work is awesome. The singing isn’t awesome, but isn’t bad. But again, the [...]

In Church, Oxford, The Orchard
Yesterday was a big day for us at The Orchard. Probably our biggest service ever. We had over 150 folks there when you count the children and teachers for their classes. There was such an energy in the room.
Services start at 10:30 on Sunday mornings. And at about 10:20ish, it looked to be a normal [...]

“Over the last hundred years, the hands and feet of Christ have been amputated. So, basically, in the eyes of the world, we have become a big mouth. Most of the time we are known for what we are against, instead of what we are for. The church must be mobilized for what it is [...]

Last year a friend went to a conference in Granger, Indiana. Yeah, Granger. Never heard of it?
Anyhow, It was called Innovate and was at Granger Community Church. I’d kept up with the church for a little while because I read the blogs of some of the staff members. It’s a great church. Very creative. Very [...]

All Along The Watch Tower by Dave Matthews Band
Last week I put up a Dylan song that g liked. So I figured I’d give g one more Dylan song to see if it was up to standards. I think this a much better remake than the one I had last week. Of course, I like [...]

I caught the bug first from Pat. But I spent too much time it last night. But it was worth it. Wonder what you would look like if you grew up in a different era? Yearbook Yourself!

I’ve been looking around at some alternatives to YouTube. YouTube is the most popular video sharing site out there. That’s more than obvious. But there are better, but less used, ones out there. Two that really catch my eye are Vimeo and Viddler. One of the things that Vimeo is known for are their lipdubs. [...]

Back for week Two!
If you like Ben Folds, then this is a great impromptu version of possibly The Postal Service’s most famous song.
I used to LOVE this version. Used to sing it all raspy and angrily when I’d mow my lawn w/ my Walkman in. “Knock knock knocking on heaven’s door. Hay Hay hay-hay-hay!”

So I told you that my oldest daughter has been homeschooled for her first two years of school (K and 1st grade). On Thursday I walked her into her 2nd grade classroom for her first ever day of public school. We’ve had two more since then. She’s had a great experience so far I believe. [...]

I’ve not been to a ton of concerts. More than some, but lots less than some of my friends. But I can say that a David Crowder Band concert is amazing to attend. He’s such a showman. He knows how to entertain. But he also knows how to bring you into the presence of the [...]
