Rick Bezett shared this on Twitter this morning and I couldn’t stop laughing when I watched. The video is actually a parable asking what if Starbucks marketed like the Church? It’s actually a pretty deep topic if you think about it. The funniest part of the video, some dude yells out “Javalooooya” and when the […]
Following SXSWi Conference
I have to admit that I am a little disappointed to not be in Austin this weekend for the South by Southwest Interactive Conference. I had planned on heading out there but given the fact that I am running behind schedule on just about every project I have going on right now I figured it […]
Just an Update, and Thanks.
This past week turned out to be one of the toughest weeks of our life. Not only did we go in for a routine ultrasound and find that our baby’s heart had stopped beating but we also had to endure a D&C procedure two days later so that Donna’s body could start the healing and […]
No Heartbeat on Ultrasound.
I am still in a state of shock, so this is going to be short and to the point. We went in today for a routine ultrasound, hoping to see a good strong heartbeat and a healthy, developing baby and that simply was not the case. For those of you that are close to us […]
Breaking News: We are having a Baby!
After 4+ years of fertility treatments, medical procedures, injections, and one miscarriage, Donna and I are finally ready to announce to the world that we are pregnant. We are somewhere between 8-10 weeks pregnant according to the nurse who gave us our labs the other day, and yesterday we had our first appointment w/ our […]
#LRTweetup, Meeting Jimmy Wayne & More…
My wife and I went to the Little Rock Tweetup tonight at Prost in the River Market. This was my first #LRTweetup and it was an awesome social experience. It was nice to put a face w/ the name avatar for a lot of the people I talk w/ on a daily basis. I even […]
Instead of a Christmas Letter, Some Random Thoughts…
In lieu of our usual long-winded Christmas letter detailing all of the exciting things we did this year, I have decided to share some things that have been on my mind lately. This may come as a surprise, but occasionally I do have my serious moments where I am not blowing things up in the […]
Contrasting Churches in Tyler, Texas
Okay, my wife and I have some very dear friends who are planting a church in Tyler, Texas. Their daughter was born on our wedding day so we have always had a natural connection to them, not to mention that Garth and I are very close and Melisa and Donna have been friends for years. […]
Be a Lighthouse in Your Neighborhood
This afternoon my wife and I were just hanging out at the house. I was in my office flipping between football games and I think she was watching a movie or something in the living room when the doorbell rang. When we got to the door there was a black guy standing there, in his […]
School Teachers
Someone forwarded me this email, I usually trash emails like this without reading them because I simply don’t have the time but for some reason this one caught my eye. I thought it was worthy of reposting: After being interviewed by the administration, the prospective teacher said: Let me see if I’ve got this right. […]
