  • God of our Fathers

    It was very hard to leave Jimmy and Ashley behind in Romeo when we moved to San Diego two years ago. In the last year he transitioned from Michigan to the Houston area and is working full-time for a church plant called, Thrive. There are probably a lot of very intelligent people who know how…

  • Swell Season

    Yesterday held one of those sweet, unexpected moments of marriage awesomeness. (Get your mind out of the gutter) We came home completely exhausted but having really enjoyed ourselves. (Again, what’s with the gutter thoughts? Knock it off!) It all started with an early morning check of Twitter. I had gotten a direct message from a…

  • Dearest Bono, I Forgive You

    This video cracked me up. It couldn’t possibly get more low rent and yet it is strangely worthy of the U2 brand. Well done. Since they delayed their event by a year, maybe I’ll be able to afford to go to the show in Anaheim? Anyone else want to go?

  • Dolly, Elvis, Johnny on Easter Morning

    Thank you Ms. Dolly. Mr. Presley, you may be the king of rock-n-roll, but you ain’t the King. Thanks for that. Thank you Mr. Cash. You really brought it home. HT to John for the Dolly Parton link.

  • Celebrity Dance Party on the Ellen Show

    This video is enchanting. Just. Can’t. Stop. Watching. It just makes me happy! HT to MC Hammer

  • I Saw the Light

    Love me some Johnny Cash.

  • Greater things…

Greater things are needed in the city. For those of us in ministry, the real question this song brings to the forefront is one of priorities. Will 2010…

  • Pressing Play on Life

    I woke up thinking about this song. Flashback to the 90s, right? In so many ways life has felt like it was on pause since September when I went to LA for convention. I’ve just been consumed by work. It swallowed me. And yesterday brought so much release. (Er, if the illustration of “swallowed by…

  • The cry of the people

    [Please press play] I love this song. And I love how Bono performed it on this tour. He kicked it off and let the audience do the first verse and chorus. An amazing moment in the show. One reason I think this song is so powerful, particularly performed live, is that as the audience sing…

  • Empire State of Mind

    This song makes me smile. I’ll be hood forever.
