There are times in life when the only response we can muster is ‘I don’t know’. In our Western culture, that can be a scary phrase. From a young age we have been taught to be intellects. Every problem has a solution, and if we study long enough, work diligently enough, and try hard enough…
Earlier this week I had the honor of spending four days in Port-au-Prince Haiti with David and Patrick Nelson, founders of i’mME Ministries. David is the wide reciever for the NY Jets, and he, along with his brother Patrick, is extremely active in bringing hope and help to the people of Haiti. While I was…
This morning I awoke to a Facebook news feed that was overwhelmed with posts about Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson. Literally, 8 out of every 10 posts I saw were discussing the latest news surrounding the ‘royal’ duck family. Phil Robertson, following an interview with GQ magazine (linked here), was indefinitely suspended by A&E from…
Last night, I tossed my family a curveball. As we were eating dinner I told them that afterwards the boys were going to take an early bath, get in their PJ’s, and we were going to head to Sonic for milkshakes. Earlier in the day we had received the final portion of the advance for…

Something is really bothering me. I’ve been toying with what to say about this issue for a long time, because I know that I don’t fall on the side of the majority. I know that stating my view on this is likely to cause me to lose the respect of some, and is certain to…
I am not the overly adventurous type. While you may see me riding roller coasters or eating sushi…you probably will not see me jumping from a plane, dangling from a rubber band or walking on a wire over Niagara Falls. But I definitely enjoy living vicariously through watching others walk the wire. A while back…
If you have ever done much travelling by yourself, you likely know how lonely and isolated it can get once the ‘newness’ of traveling wears off. You find yourself around thousands of other travelers in and out of airports, yet you are all by yourself. When funny things happen, there is no one to share…
Last week, I experienced for the first time what it felt like to tighten down a harness, flip the switches and go racing. Highland Rim Speedway, a small 1/3 mile track just north of Nashville, invited me to race in their Faster Pastor race. Since I had planned on being home last weekend despite our…
