This will be a fast and furious week before we head out to Padre. We leave next Monday to spend a week at The Tiki and purposefully spend time relaxing, playing, laughing, and learning who we are in Christ. The theme, blatantly stolen from Spencer over at The Ooze, is SOULARIZE. In preparation for my [...]
On Monday, I took Darien on a ‘man date’. We picked up a couple of cherry slushes from Sonic, went to pick up some fishing lures, bike inner tubes, and a new soccer ball. On our way home, we spoiled our lunch by stopping off at Krispy Kreme. We spent nearly an hour sitting in [...]
Today is Thursday….feels like a month since my last post, but it’s only been a few days. We’re in the middle of a tech remodel in our youth center (screens, DLP projectors, PA, etc.). Thank you, Jesus. But it’s a slow-going work. We’re trying to get it online by Saturday for a SBTC Disaster Relief [...]
Aha! I *knew* it. The illustrious Steve Camp has put together the most concise rewiew of the DaVinci Code movie thus far: “40,000,000 people can be wrong.” But the best line in the review *has* to be the following: “The experience of watching this movie is kind of like listening to the Caner brothers: it [...]
Engrish.com…just plain funny Plus, a huge list of 80′s music videos. Flock of Seagulls. Autograph. Power Station. Hair bands to new wave. Viva Los Ochenta! Thanks to the midway-cleansed marko for the link…
I’m speaking this Sunday at the first-ever Baccalaureate service for one of our area high schools. Good times.

The world will [...]
Woo-hoo! If you haven’t already, meet Douggieboomer (a.k.a. Doug Royer), our newest intern here. Welcome to the blogosphere, Douggie.
It seems as though I keep running across blogs/podcasts/sites with a recurring theme. This afternoon, I’m beginning to take one of our interns through Wild At Heart for the summer. Great book. Last night, I ran across a ministry/blog entitled Outfitting Your Faith which focuses on reaching men, either uninvolved or marginally involved in the [...]
In 2002, I heard Spencer Burke talk about a buddy who started a church in his living room. He called it ‘Scum of the Earth’ Church, because he wanted to reach out to the outcasts, the vulnerable, and the social rejects of his area… I never found anything on it until now… Evidently, Pastor Mike [...]
We’re wrapping up our closing session as I’m typing this. The past 3 days of fellowship, networking, encouragement, and food (we ARE Baptist…) has been great. Did I mention how much I love San Antonio? Thanks to the SBTC for putting this together again for the 4th year. Wolf, Lasater, and all the staff have [...]
