Have you seen this show? It seriously has to be one of the best shows on television right now and the fact that MTV produces it is (a) surprising – most of their shows are kind of like crap and (b) awesome – because the production quality is pretty stinkin sweet, the soundtrack is nice, and it is culturally relevant.

This month, I embark on a new journey that I truly feel God has purposed for me. Over the past two years on staff at my church I have had different titles and served in different ministry areas. I knew two years ago that God was about to do great things with Rachel and I as we continued to pursue [...]

Getting back into the swing of this blogging thing is going to be tough…part of my goals for next year (we’ll see).
So in good ole’ fashioned tradition – I will share some of my THURSDAY THOUGHTS…

Excited for the possibilities in the new year. Excited for the changes too….More on that later (I promise).
Owen likes to sit on our porch when [...]

For those of you that are not part of the social media phenom called Facebook, yet have access (and apparently time) to the internet, I will make things a little easier for you and offer an update – FROM RACHEL – on the news we recently received in St. Louis.

We go into surgery to remove the eye plaque at 7:30 in the morning…We are very hopeful that the plaque has destroyed the tumor and we will anxiously await for the test results on the biopsy that [...]

Today has been a long day. At times very boring. Since Rachel is confined to this floor, there is not much we are able to do. We woke up early this morning, mainly because she had trouble sleeping. I walked down the street for some breakfast and coffee for her. Rachel has not been eating too much, when she does [...]

We woke up about the time I normally go to sleep this morning to check in for Rachel’s surgery. She was the first surgery of the day which was nice, but we have both been exhausted today.
Rachel’s surgery went good, the plaque went in fine and there was no concern as far is it going in. She came out of [...]

As I prepare for a short night’s sleep, I thought I would update you on what we are doing and the coming hours.
Today we spent some time meeting with the oncologist responsible for planting the tiny radioactive seeds on the gold plaque that will be inserted into Rachel’s eye tomorrow. He wanted to simply meet us, go over a few [...]
