It’s 17-14 at half and how the heck did the officials miss the Minnesota fumble?? Then, Alabama’s incredible creative offensive attack. Off tackle right, 2 yards. Off tackle left, -3 yards. Alabama has -10 yards of rushing offense. Hey, we can still use the forward pass, right? Agghhh. Why do we have bowl games for read more
A new year is always a great quandry of emotions for me. Do you look back at what was great and not so great in 2004? Do you loook ahead at what could be and lofty expectations? Regret and hope. Pride and fear. Excitement and Anxiousness. Here are my hopes for 2005. 1. I hope read more
My cool Alabama shirt…Go Tide, drown the Gophers.
Amy and I have been married 12 wonderful years today. We got married in 1991. On a lighter note – we (the wiff and I) have developed a couple of quirky traditions. One is we will wake the other one up after midnight, say ‘happy anniversary’, roll over and go back to sleep. Up until read more
Ivan didn’t like this boat…or a lot of other things in Destin. The city isn’t completely recovered and it is even money that they will be ready for summer. Lots of sand, lots of blue tarps on roof.
Sparklers for Cooper’s Birthday. Amazing what a slow shutter speed can do! And yes, Camber is capable of moving that fast.
Beautiful Destin. Despite the hurricane, the water was clear, the sky blue.
The girls with Grandad at the Grove Hill Fire Department. What is it with kids and fire trucks? They love ‘em!
Experienced the coolest Christmas Eve idea/service. The idea is awesome, the execution was less than perfect…but that was more my family’s fault than any other. The Methodist Church has an “open house” from 5.30 to 6.30 for families to come in, pray together and take communion together. That’s it. No service, no songs, no crying read more
I have about a jillion pictures from Destin to Grove Hill and the USB plug that Fuji specifically designed for my camera is safe and snug on my computer desk in Little Rock. So that kinda puts a cramp in my bloggin’ style – if you know what I mean. We are in Grove Hill, read more
It is pouring down rain, tornado warnings in Destin tonight. We go to Best Buy. Why? We are addicts. We are crazed, foaming at the mouth addicts to this insanely fun game called Dance, Dance, Revolution. By the way, anybody got any theories as to what the criteria is to get hired at Best Buy? read more
I don’t think I realized how wound up I’ve been this semester. The summer was brutal, the fall offered no real break either but in the last 2 months I will have had close to 20 days to unplug. I feel like a new man!!! I realize most folks don’t have that luxury – this read more
Comment heard this week: “Yeah, but it feels like 49 because of the wind chill.” What’s happened to the Broncos? 4 weeks ago, they are 7-3 sitting alone on the AFC West. They are in choke mode central right now. Someone’s head is gonna roll!! Actually Shannon Sharpe got blasted a couple of weeks because read more
Tonight – the Crab Trap. Pretty good place, doesn’t crack the top ten. A little too expensive for what you get. Although their blackened amberjack was excellent and their hushpuppies have a sweet aftertaste to them. Very good. I missed a couple of restaurants on my list. Corky’s, Little Rock.Dry rub ribs, one downer – read more
Rule #1. Never buy a vehicle from a man whose wife does not want to sell the vehicle. It will result in having to wait until the last possible minute for possession of the vehicle and you taking possession of the vehicle with it completely void of fuel. (I am still in wonder at how read more
Remember a couple of weeks ago I said buying a car sucks. It does. I will post pics of my new pimp daddy ride tomorrow and the ridiculous story of how we got it – nothing is ever easy for us. But for now – I’m praying for my dad and his colonoscopy. Is that read more
Saw this movie with my best friend, Steve. Steve says he loves movies but ask him his favorite 10 movies of all time. He can’t come up with 10. Not because he has a bad memory, but because he is the finickiest person in the world when it comes to movies… Having said that – read more
Played chess today in Cooper’s elementary school chess club. Bunch of snotty-nosed punk intellectuals. So we all break up and sit down. One kid is left standing. No one wants to play chess with him. No ONE! I thought kickball and dodgeball were ego killers – being the last picked! This is CHESS CLUB!!! I read more
The courtyard looked no longer like a museum; it looked more like a zoo. You know what I am going to start praying for us at Grace Student Ministry? That we start looking like a zoo. Let me finish the scene out and I think you’ll get what I mean… The quote is from C. read more
For those of you following along at home – need to read my bro-in-law’s response to the ‘Roids post. Great stuff….So, here is my list of Commissioner’s I could live with – in no particular order. 1. Tom Seely, III. It would be cool to have a relative in the business – however, I don’t read more
I’ve been thinking about this whole baseball and steriods thing. Here are 10 things I would do if I were commissioner of baseball. 1. Ban Barry Bonds, Giambi Twins (not really twins), Jose Conseco, and any other user from baseball for life. 2. Every stadium in the league would sell 7% of their stadiums capacity read more
Tonight at a Christmas party we were talking about the 3 smartest animals in the world. The completely unofficial and uninebreated guesses we came up with were: 1. Dolphins. 2. Some special species of parrot. 3. The pot-bellied pig. Of course, most of the people having this conversation were native Arkansans (pronounced – Are Can read more
Went to church in Budapest with my bro-in-law and family. They meet on a college campus. How kickin’ is that? During the service, my mind just started frying. Ever have those moments? You’re supposed to be paying attention to something fairly important but in a moment of pure, unadulterated insight, you figure out exactly how read more
One of the hard things of leading is staying proactive. Keeping alert, keeping in tune with JC, keeping obedient to what He’s saying. Many of my friends say – “It gets easy to coast, easy to surf – so you have to stay diligent.” They might be right for them but I think I struggle read more
It’s been 38 days since the death of the Tundra. I’ve entered the dark zone. While I love the fact that the Edwards are letting me borrow their Honda Accord, I want a vehicle that will do damage, not receive it. But alas the mini-van has 95,000 miles on it and traveling with it is read more
Flying back from Budapest, I sat next to a Hungarian on his way to Cuba. He was going on vacation with his family and the business they worked for. (In Europe, I guess, you take “family vacations�? with the business.) “Really?�? I chuckled. “Cuba?�? “It’s warmer there.” I’m thinking – great, so that is your read more
After 10 days in Europe, the first thing my kids wanted to do was eat at McDonalds. They ate at McDonalds in Budapest. Burger King twice. They wanted happy meals. So in a moment of sheer parenting brillance, I asked them why not something different – like Outback Steakhouse or Chic-Fil-A? “Mic Dawn Alllls, Mic read more
The Gang Was All Here! This picture is proof of the existence of God. First of all, every kid is looking at the camera and smiling in some form. Second, the camera is sitting on a ledge and I used a 10 second timer to take it. Third, this was the very first shot we read more
