I've just about finished Boyd's God At War …finally. It's been an awesome book. And, although I've already blogged about it here and here , things are seeming to come to a head. The focus of our mid-week small group last Wednesday was the proverbial question of 'if God is all-powerful and all-loving,why do bad [...]
In the next 48 hours, our family will celebrate the births of two babies who changed my life and my world. It's just another reason I love this time of year. Being with family and friends (sometimes, those are one in the same–sometimes not.) is awesome. So is chillaxin on the couch with the boys [...]
Last Thursday, Steve and I made the trek to the campus of my alma mater, SWBTS, in Ft. Worth to listen in on a Youth Ministry Symposium. Although the WiFi nazis wouldn't let me online, I was able to take lots of notes on my Mac. I'll try to post/digest them here. So…what's the deal [...]
Good times today. Heather left early this morning to take our older son on his first Kindegarten field trip, so I brought our younger son in to Wee Ones (think: Mother's Day Out…) at 9am. I figured I'd drop him off, run to the office and catch up on some phone calls, emails, and event [...]
In case you’re still reading, here are some statistical findings on the report: “Scholars at the National Research Council in 2002 estimated that at least one of every four adolescents in the U.S. is currently at serious risk of not achieving productive adulthood.” (i.e., they will end up institutionalized, mental or penal, or worse) “According [...]

But be warned, this will be an on-the-fly, non-linear relay of possibly random thoughts. If it becomes confusing, I'll try to straighten it out after dinner. We'll get started in a few minutes…(the wifi signal keeps going [...]
One of the things I love about Austin is that it is absolutely the most culturally and religiously diverse place on the face of our little planet. (For those of you outside of the great state of Texas, our motto is 'Keep Austin Weird' … which is a pretty easy thing to do these days…) [...]
Finally, I've given in to the loving proddings (nagging?) to friends and family and begun writing a book on student ministry. More specifically, how to survive student ministry for the long haul. The struggle is I'm not conviced I have anything to add to the conversation that hasn't already been said. Student ministry is long [...]
I apologize for the blog silence…since my last comment was 'more in a minute'…and yes, Scott, it HAS been considerably longer, I thought I'd bring everyone up to speed… Like everyone else, life is hectic. Due to some changes in life/ministry (see subsequent posts for details), it looks like I now only have a few, [...]
