Fry Yourself Up Some Pickles, Y’all

Several folks have asked for my Fried Pickle Recipe, and I’ve been promising I’d blog it for the world to enjoy.
I recommend frying these babies up while you watch Ga Tech trample UGA this Saturday.
Don’t knock it ’til you try it. They sounded disgusting to me…until I tried them.

  
THE STUFF YOU’LL NEED:
Zatarain’s Seasoned Fish-Fri 
I’ve tried [...]

Cardboard Testimonies @ West Ridge Church

This idea isn’t necessarily new… I believe Willow Creek was the first to do this, but we first saw it when our good friend Tommy Politz over at Hillside in Amarillo, TX did it a few months back. It’s powerful when you see theirs on YouTube. They’ve had nearly 2,000,000 views already.
As powerful as it is to [...]

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Almost like being back in college. I’m enjoying it while it lasts.

A cold night at Bobby Dodd Stadium

Last night, Annette and I went with some friends to the Georgia Tech / University of Miami game in downtown Atlanta. I graduated from Georgia Tech almost ten years ago [gulp]. It was a great night, and my Yellow Jackets absolutely crushed the “Hurricanes.” I guess we’ll just have to say hurricane season ended in [...]

Fresh Tomatoes and Rob Bell [Updated]

The very first message I ever listened to by Rob Bell was about his wife’s salsa. I had loaded it up on my iPod and headed out to the yard to mow the lawn at Annette’s and my little white rental house. Oh, how we loved that house. It was a 1920’s Sears kit house. [...]

Prayer for the Travelers

Some of my favorite guys in the world are headed off to Burkina Faso, Africa tomorrow, and my prayers are with them. It’s an exhausting travel schedule… Fly from Atlanta to Paris, then from Paris to Ouagadougou, BF. Almost 24 hours straight of sitting in airports, on planes, on layover…
Please pray for their safety, their [...]

Oh, yay! Sting ‘em!

Just saw this on my Facebook homepage… Ooooooo, now I’m getting excited.
They may not be on the cover of SI, and they may not be all the hype. But they’re mine, dangit. And I love ‘em just the way they are.
Here’s some interesting Stephen trivia… I’ve been a Ga Tech Alum for almost 15 years, [...]

I blinked…

…and then my baby girl turned 1.
Today is Caia Christianne’s 1st birthday. She’s my little “turkey leg.” (I call her that because she was so tiny when she was born that she looked like one of those ‘flavor enhanced’ Fred Flintsstone turkey legs at Disney World.)
Our girls are blessed/cursed with multiple nicknames. We also call [...]

Go Bravos! Great way to spend the 4th Eve…

Rome Braves vs Asheville Tourists in Asheville. The T’s are winning after 3.
This is so much cooler than MLB. We’re 4 rows behind the dugout for $10. It’s about 72-degrees…not a cloud in the sky.
Breathe in…that’s true Americana you smell.
Happy 4th.
