  • 10 Things I Miss About Texas

    It’s been a little over a year now since we moved from Dallas to Orlando. While Ali only lived there for two years, I was there twice as long and grew a little more fond of the only place besides Knoxville I lived for more than a year. At first, I was just glad to…

  • Stewarding the Environment at SeaWorld

    After roughly two months of trying, Ali and I were finally able to make it to SeaWorld for the day. We had scored complimentary passes and so the only budget hit was the highway robbery they consider a fair price for food in the park. That, and $7 per person for five minnows, a total…

Part of what I’m doing in my ministry internship at CrossPointe Church Waterford Lakes is a boys Bible study.…

  • What Are We Up To In Ministry?

    This picture is from a few weeks ago, but it’s the best way to frame what we’re really up to in ministry here in Florida. After church from time to time we have baptisms in the pool outside the YMCA where our church meets. The particular Sunday in the picture was when Jack, a new…

  • 11 Great Theology Books I Read In 2011
