We’re Not in Kansas Any More…

[Posted this at ParrisFam.com, too. Still trying to figure out how to decide which blog to post some of this stuff on.]
Wow. What a whirlwind.
It’s now been two months since I worked as a staff member at West Ridge. Now I’m an upstart Worship “Pastor” (still trying to get my brain around that) with barely [...]

Father’s Day, may I use my Mulligan?

Sunday = Father’s Day. Here’s how THAT went down.
Let’s go stay at my parents’ house! WIN
Ran out of gas in 99° heat. Father in Law had to rescue us…on Father’s Day. FAIL
We then get 15 miles from home when I realize I’ve left one of our bags at home. FAIL
So we do lunch (at 2:30pm) [...]

Rain, Grass, Tru-Green/Chem-Lawn, and Christianity

So after getting fed up with weeds in my lawn a couple of summers ago, I decided to invest in one of those companies that keeps your lawn fertilized and weed-treated routinely. I did the math and figured the price difference between doing it myself and paying them to do it would be money well [...]

Skip Caray passed away today…

I just saw that Skip Caray, one of the Atlanta Braves’ most legendary play-by-play announcers, passed away this afternoon. I haven’t kept up with the Braves for several years, but Skip, along with Joe and Pete, practically talked me through college by calling the games during long nights in the design studio at Georgia Tech.
We’ll [...]

I’m alive

So I haven’t posted anything at all for a week, and anything terribly introspective for much longer than that (if ever!)… I’ll be back on the wagon soon.
The bulk of my week was spent hanging with my Worship Arts gang at the lake for three days. A good time was had by all. Good talks, [...]

Everyone needs a Matt W., Jason, Matt T., Randy, and Justin

I spent a solid two hours with my dear friend and mentor Matt Willmington this morning. He is truly one of the most genuine and inspiring leaders in the church today, and I get to call him whenever the heck I want. We talked about all kinds of things, and I left that wannabe Starbucks [...]

What did I want to be before I grew up?

Something smacked me upside the head at a certain establishment this afternoon. (Can’t say where because Annette’s birthday is Wednesday, and I was at said establishment to buy one of her many very expensive birthday presents).
There was a man at the counter as I was getting ready to check out. He was an older gentleman [...]

One of Those Days

You know those days where you feel like you’re getting a head cold, you don’t have time to cut your grass, your meetings went longer than expected, on top of that you forgot a meeting, you’re behind on sending invoices, bills are due tomorrow, you never get through your emails, so much for going on [...]

Daring

So I’m waiting for Annette to get home from a movie. Before she left, she made me promise I wouldn’t watch American Idol without her. The girls are in bed, and I flip through the channels to find some background noise to help me get through some freelance work. I’ve landed on Frontline, and they’re [...]
