Shameless Self Promotion

It’s my blog…I can do it if I want to. So…
Happy Birthday To Me,
Happy Birthday To Me,

Happy Birthday Dear Me,

Happy Birthday To Me!
Dude, check it out! I’m almost bald in both pictures!
And don’t my brothers look spiffy in their matching shirts?
From 2 years old to 49 years old…and time just keeps on rockin’. Here’s to […]

Prayers Please

This is my sweet niece Kara, with her dad Thomas…my wonderful brother-in-law who died tragically almost a year ago.
Friday night, Kara is getting married…on the day of Thomas and Sandy’s wedding anniversary.
A joyous time, to be sure…but also a bittersweet time. Kara’s big brother Tommy will be walking her down the aisle…but how sad that […]

Happy Birthday Landon

This is my great nephew Landon. He turns one this week.
It’s a bittersweet time…Landon’s grandfather was my brother-in-law Thomas, who died last December. So, Landon’s birthday…Thomas’ daughter getting married…and the one-year anniversary of Thomas’ accident…all coming up over the next few months.
But ain’t he cute?

Casting Crowns

They were in Dalton last Friday. I didn’t get to stick around for the show, but I came by to see them…especially my good buddy Andy Williams (drums), also known as The Bald Wonder.

Dusty Old Music

As I mentioned in a previous (and rather embarrassing) post, we’ve been working hard on cleaning out our basement. I’ve come across boxes and boxes of old cassette tapes. I can’t even remember the last time I played a cassette tape! But they’ve provided an interesting snapshot of what I was listening to in the […]

Showing Off The Family

In honor of Hannah leaving for Covenant College today to begin her junior year, I present these engagement photos of Hannah and her fiancee Ben Oliver, taken by my other talented and wonderful daughter Sarah.

Please Have A Laugh…My Treat

Anna and I are working hard on cleaning out our basement. I’ve come across a few boxes of keepsakes and memorabilia from high school, college, and band days.
I’m not sure I’ll EVER post a high school picture here…not unless there was money involved. But I did come across a whole bunch of Broken Heart junk. […]

Help On A Thursday

(Please do not read this as a poor pitiful me, no one loves me kind of thing. I’m just being honest.)
Thursdays are hard. Most worship ministries I know rehearse on Thursday nights, so maybe some of you relate to this.
It’s hard physically. Wednesday and Thursday are very long days…we’re usually here until 9 or 9:30pm…most […]
