Warning: This song will get stuck in your head.
I feel like I may be a little late to the John Mark McMillan fan pool, but better late than never. First caught wind of this singer/songwriter after learning about David Crowder’s cover of his song “How He Loves” but never spent the money on buying his [...]

glory to god forever
September 24 09
Fee’s new album, Hope Rising, drops on October 6th but they’ve already released “Glory To God Forever” as their first single off the record. The song was written by Steve Fee and Vicky Beeching.
I first saw/heard this song earlier this year on their blog while they were in the studio. I instantly connected with it [...]
church music | david crowder* band
September 24 09
Every couple of years, I eagerly look forward to the release and consequent purchase of an album from none other than the creative powerhouse known as the David Crowder* Band. This past Tuesday marked one of those fateful days that I embrace with anticipation and worry. Anticipation to hear the new music, but worried [...]

Teaching
Our Senior Pastor was out of town doing a wedding for a family in our church, so he asked Michelle (my wife) and I to team up and handle last night’s evening service in his absence. We decided to use the Just Stop and Think video from Francis Chan for the teaching. The scripture reading [...]
how he loves

Great song from John Mark McMillan
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves [...]

Every 2 weeks there is an event that never ceases to astound me. I fear the day that it ends. Hopefully, it never will because it always gives me great joy, surprise, and satisfaction. You may be thinking, “What could it be? What on earth could happen so regularly and always bring so much elation [...]
new creation
February 24 09
Michelle and I got the chance to make a quick trip to Wilmington, NC a couple weeks ago. We slipped down for a Saturday to see a friend and her new baby, Finley. Even though it was short trip, it was a great day.
I am always amazed when I think about babies and the fact [...]
need for sabbath
February 10 09
It has become painfully obvious to me (and my wife) that I am in need of regular Sabbath. A lot of times we view commands from the Old Testament being outdated and unnecessary, but there is a definite need for us to have regular and intentional rest.
Sometimes the pace of my life far outweighs the [...]
an explanation
February 10 09
So to kick off this whole blogging thing, I figured I’d offer up a few explanations. I have no idea why I decided to create a blog. Do I think I have any new or inventive or ideas that no one before me has ever considered? Nope. Do I have grand ideas of what I’ll do/write here? [...]
