Crazy day in NYC
Just got home from playing tonight. It was awesome! We are absolutely loving New York so far. Tomorrow we are cruising the city.
I have a ton of video from today, but I’ve been up since 4:30 this morning and I’m to tired to edit it. I’ll try tomorrow!

I'm a softie...
For about 2 years now (since I moved to Dallas), a change has been going on in me. I began to become a softie. I’m moved to tears easily. I have this sensitivity towards God and His Presence that I see everywhere. I have a deep, genuine heart to help those who do not have what I have (spiritually and physically). Even if that means helping requires sacrifice.
Now relationship is more...

Excellence: an action or attitude?
Last night I closed up and I was vacuuming the floor. I was running late because I started an activation like 10 minutes before close. As I was vacuuming one of the managers said, “don’t worry about vacuuming under those, the customer won’t see it.”
My first thought was, “they may not see it, but they will feel it.” I believe that excellence is not an action,...

Resting my brain
I have about 5 posts that I want to post, but for some reason I am having a hard time sitting down and writing them. It is not that I do not have the time. Lately, I have just not wanted to get quiet and put my mind in the mode to think deep and write these thoughts out. Some of it is that there is a lot of mental energy going towards learning the ropes at my new job, but maybe sometimes you just...

Someone forgot to turn on the auto-tune on his mic. Yikes! The song gets kind of boring, you can get the point in the first minute or so.

He will, He will rock you!
Around this time two years ago, my wife and I’s world was rocked when we knew we were supposed to move to Dallas. The thing is, we were not looking to move. We loved our church, our friends, our house, our city, our university (OU), and would have even bought our plots there.
Quite honestly, ever since we moved here (Dallas), our world has just been rocked over and over. We moved to work at...

This is a song from my first issue of (RED)WIRE. (RED)WIRE is a digital music magazine with one very important difference. It not only changes the way music is discovered, it provides medicine for people who need it in Africa.

This is old, crappy quality and we messed up; but man these were good times in life. Who cares if I look at it now and see its flaws; it touched people’s lives that morning. That’s the process of life. Don’t be embarassed where you came from. God uses all of it. Enjoy!

Are u too comfortable?
The last couple of weeks or so has been a harsh reality of how comfortable I have become in life.
Last night, we talked about fasting and I realized how hard it would really be for me to go just one whole day without eating. I honestly am not sure I could. I used to fast for weeks!
I just walked 1.5 miles at the gym. That’s okay except that at any point in my life, I have been able to...

Something's gotta change!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun I had working backstage at Fellowship Church this weekend. I met awesome people and learned a lot. Throughout the weekend services, I realized how much I miss leading worship and creating worship experiences. I just wanted to grab my guitar and go out there and sing my heart out with the team!
It has been a couple of years since I was actually excited...

I have been receiving calls from friends and family b/c of all of the press that our church has been receiving over the 7 days of sex that our pastor challenged us to. That has been awesome, but that is only one reason I love my church. Over the next couple of days, I’d like to share some others.

Things that rock my world....
Believe in God, but trust in money
This message from Craig Groeschel is hands-down, one of the greatest messages I have heard. Of course, for us it was very timely as well. It has rocked my wife and I’s world! As Craig says, “own it!”
Jesus Wants to Save Christians
This is Rob Bell’s newest book that absolutely rocked our world. I have read it, actually listened to...

I was gonna keep my mouth shut, but........
Well, since my last post, things have gotten a little weird. Not just weird, but sad. I guess b/c my last post mentioned Obama, the Christian community freaked out. After posting, I immediately received an im with Barack Obama’s name spelled upside down. I tried to have a conversation, but there was no conversation, just hate. Of course, no one is man enough to actually comment on my blog...

I just subscribed to the video podcast of President-elect Obama. They are giving weekly video updates on what is going on in the office of the President-elect. No matter who you voted for, if you love technology, you have to appreciate the use of technology. Just click the title above and you will be taken to the iTunes page.

Prayer
On the way home tonight, Meg and I had some time where we talked about stuff and then prayed about it. I love the times when we pray together. I love my personal prayer time with God, but there is something special when you pray with your spouse.
So, grab your spouse and have some prayer time together.
Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for? If you can, leave a video comment.

"That just happened!"
I am sorry I have been rather quiet since I returned from my 3-day break.
The last month of my life feels like the great line from Talladega Nights. I have so many life-changing thoughts swirling in my head that I am having a hard time writing them. I guess I’m still in process mode. I’m trying to process all the things that have rocked my world over the last month.
Stay...

Chill out!
That’s right, I said chill out! Usually when someone tells us to chill out it is because some emotion is falling out of the emotional balance we call sanity. That imbalance can often become an action we could regret.
Well, I am no different and God has been telling (yelling is probably more appropriate) and teaching me to “chill out” over the last 4 weeks while I’m in...

Coldplay and God
Most of you know that I was at a Coldplay concert at this very time one week ago. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. In case, for some freakish reason you missed my 80 blogs or tweets about it, you can catch up on some vids and pics here.
Anyways, I have been listening to Coldplay like crazy and part of what spurred my 3-day silence was the song Warning Sign from A Rush of Blood...

The time has come......
The clock will strike midnight in a minute and my silence will begin……..I dug up a few posts to revisit and share on while I am away. Start with this one. Then this one, this one, and especially this one in any order you would like. Share your thoughts with each other.
Please pray for me as I take this time to really seek God. I will definitely be praying for everyone that is a part...

Here is something to chew on while I take my 3 day break.
I had the opportunity to visit LifeChurch.tv while in Oklahoma this last weekend. I’ll be honest. I heard one of the best messages I have heard in a long time. It was amazing. This is only a snippet of it, but watch the whole thing here.
While this was extremely challenging, it really challenged me in the way I thought of...
