  • 6 things I’ve learned from the first 6 months of marriage.

    As of today, Julie and I have been married 6 months! It feels like we were just in Hawaii yesterday! But maybe that’s because I dream of being there right now. We don’t have the marriage thing down completely, but we have learned a couple things. Here’s 6 of my favorites that I’ve learned in

  • I left that church…

    “I didn’t agree with what the Pastor taught, that’s why I left that church.”   That’s an excuse I’ve heard from people in my generation more than I can count. Generation X, Screenagers, Mosaics, whatever you want to call them. This generation is getting more use out of that phrase than any other previously. I

  • The Third Tree

    Many times in my journey of ministry in the first two years, I started asking myself questions like, Why is this not like I expected? Why do I feel like I don’t fit in? Why do I feel like a black sheep? Do I belong here? Have you ever asked those questions? If so, hold

  • The Second Tree

    After graduating college, there’s ministry things you can only learn through real life situations. Being in Austin taught me a few of those, but there were a lot of things I hadn’t learned yet. There is always more to learn and can only be learned in different seasons and different places. The next step of

  • We go together like peanut butter and Julie.

  • I’m not where you think I am.

    I’m a fan of most games that we play as kids, but I hate hide and go seek! Why? I hate hiding. I hate sitting there in a kitchen cabinet, closet, or under a bed. I get scared, it’s dark, but mostly because I usually have to pee. There’s also that underlying fear that you’ll never

  • Is deer hunting even real?

    I’ve often wondered, is deer hunting even real? I’ve also thought, why have I never personally seen a big buck alive? I’ve only seen them mounted on walls and I figured that person bought it somewhere! If all these hunting shows can take men, cameras, and trucks out in the woods, and film deer undetected,

  • Christians, please treat people like rookie deer hunters.

    Let me start by saying: I am not a hunter. I was not raised to hunt; I was raised to avoid hitting deer with my car on the back country roads where my family lived. Although not a hunter, I married into a hunting family…so hunting one day was guaranteed. That day came this week.
