My Back Pages

I've tried to wait, but I can't. 
For the last week, God has been refreshing my spirit in many different ways. God At War. Double-shot venti no-whip mochas. Last Monday's downpour of rain. And Eric Johnson.
EJ is one of the most amazing guitar talents to ever come down from Mt. Olympus and walk our little [...]

Butt Prints in the Sand

Ever think God gets tired of our whining? Maybe even exasperated? 
I found this today while cleaning out some old files on my home PC. May it inspire you to get up and do something. Anything.
One night, I had a wondrous dream; One set of footprints there was seen. The footprints of my precious Lord, [...]

God At War

 
 

 
Alrighty then. 
I've been completely snowed for the last week and am just now getting around to nailing some thoughts down about this  not-so-easy-to-deal-with book. Yes, I know Boyd is an openness proponent.

Photo Phriday

Crazy week. No real blogging to speak of. It's been brutal, and it's already Friday. Sigh. 
Started back on my 5:30 a.m. workouts. Why 5:30? Because in Austin, we've only had 3 days this month that have been under 100-degrees, and at 5:30 a.m. it's only 84 degrees outside. Geez.
I'm knee-deep in Boyd's 'God At War: [...]
