IT'S BEEN ON FOR AWHILE…
But, I get excited every time I see this commercial. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA8SM_ivqpY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00] Only 39 days to SEPT. 12. PJT//
TIME TO BREATHE//
I fell like this is the first time I’ve been able to catch my breath all day. I logged almost 100 miles today and never went more than 16 miles from the house. It’s now 11:59pm. I just finished working on a web design color scheme for a credit card company. I think I’m finally [...]
"Dear Ohio, …"
Dear Ohio, Your “natural rain forest” had no water the last time we were here. Your road signs are misleading. And, where are your ice cream shops? Seriously. – PJ&AMT//
What the … ???
I have no idea what to do with this… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTAoxSspBJE&hl=en&fs=1]
I've been here…
Ever want to start up your computer somewhere and you didn’t want to draw attention to yourself? So, has this guy: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt1bgsvsWms&hl=en&fs=1]
… Waiting …
This was my last 5 minutes. 30 seconds on taking the picture, 2 minutes on editing colors & textures, and 1.5 minutes sitting in this position before I decided to be artsy with the time. I hate waiting. I’m not a very patient person. There’s always something I could be doing… I write could, but [...]
Adoption
Things are moving faster than we ever expected. We met with birth parents yesterday: We’re in a very surreal place right now. It’s exciting, scary, thrilling, nerve wracking, a jumbled mess of emtions. Prayers appreciated more than you know.
God used Facebook to Punch Me in the Face.
I recently heard sin described as “missing the mark.” Which really explains how integral grace is for us. We need grace. PERIOD. Not deserve it. We can’t expect it. But, need we need it; can’t live without it. It then makes me realize that when I get more concerned about how the “service went [...]
Yesterday
There are days that make it a little better to be alive. Yesterday was one of those for me. 1. The new U2 album “No Line On The Horizon” came out. iTunes began my pre-ordered download at 11:57pm on Monday. I then sat up until 2am Tuesday listening to it drink in hand in my [...]
Those times when you don't know what to say.
The last week or so, has been a bit odd for. I’m RARELY short on words, but I’ve found myself not knowing what to say… to blog… in conversation… just speaking/verbalizing anything has been weird for the few rotations of the earth. Maybe part of it was the break in routine being in Atlanta Mon [...]
Keep your kids off drugs.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuO75_hJgCQ&hl=en&fs=1] Need I say more? But……….. Letterman did. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FcsWbC9DjE&hl=en&fs=1]
What 48 hours watching can do for your soul
Just before 11pm last night, I pulled into the driveway after being in @lanta, …er… NOT-HOTlanta (whatever it’s called now) from a conference put on by churchplanters.com. Typically, I’m pretty skeptical of “do this” conferences where people (i.e. pastors) come together and watch/learn and 99% of them take it home and try to “cookie cutter”, [...]
@lanta, as they call it…
Here in Atlanta, there’s nothing like true southern hospitality… But, the Hyatt has to be the smartest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The “media port area” is a brilliant concept. I want it in my house.
Tuesdays With Harold
“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.” [...]
A quick trip, a great ride, a rowdy dog, and "cat poop"
It has been a crazy eventful day. Crosspoint turns 2 in 2 weeks and today we launched our second service. I have a sweating problem… So, adding a second service means twice the sweat, twice the amount of calories burned, and three times the amount of electrolytes I need to replenish. It was crazy! But, [...]
The website is mocking me!
I just logged into wordpress to see the happenings of the day and was made fun of by the website! For all you non-wordpress users out there, at the top of your dashboard (admin) page there is sometimes a bar that says, “Be the master of your domain… make it your’s by registering __________________.com” giving [...]
Belief that Skynet could happen…
I’m a sci-fi nut. It’s true. My little brother likes to remind me how much of a dork I was in grade school. Star Trek was my favorite show. It’s true. I watched it all the way through school. All the forms of it. I still watch it. Now Angie makes fun of me. I [...]
The Moment Before The Moment You Know You Should Be Doing Something Else
I just had that moment. For the last 4 hours I’ve been sitting in the same chair (minus the few minutes to hit the restroom) at a Starbucks© working on more things than I can count. I had a coupon for a free tea latte. It was good. I HIGHLY recommend the Vanilla Rooibos (roy-bus) [...]
Inspiration & Healthy Snacks
Last week I met with a lady that comes to our church. She and her husband have been coming for a few months. They both work in the same office. She’s a designer. He’s a finance guy. But, not your typical finance guy… he had an entire shelf (stacked at least 2 high) of jewel [...]
BTTF II
I remember being awed by the concept of a video phone from Back To The Future II. Remember that scene where Jennifer, Marty’s girlfriend, is hiding in the closet of her 2015 house to see Marty get fired over the phone… er… TV. I remember being blown away by the TV that covered the wall [...]
COFFEE, MUSIC, & A SNOW FILLED ASHTRAY
WEDNESDAY – 2.4.9 There are few things better to me than sitting inside drinking coffee and looking out floor to ceiling windows enjoying the art that is snow. When I was a kid, my dad never wanted us to play in the snow in the front yard. I never really understood and probably did it [...]
