The World Wanted John Wayne and Instead Got Billy Joe

I have been putting most of my time into building the Edge Church Think Tank blog lately. So, after basically neglecting my personal blog, I noticed a spike in traffic today. I had to figure out why my I had been googled about 50 times today and slammed with traffic. The answer? [...]

Video: Rev. Billy Joe Daugherty Gets Hit in the Eye

While conducting an altar service at Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, OK, Billy Joe Daugherty gets hit in the eye by 50-year-old Steven Rogers and continues preaching. Daugherty did not press charges.
I am proud of the response that Daugherty had. His response was Christ like and inspiring. The funny thing is that [...]

To Biffle Goes Battle, Stewart the War, Rednecks Take Wal Mart As Consolation

After fighting traffic and barriers for the past three days, the Homestead race has finally come and gone. I have no voice (not related to the Redneck Euphoria Syndrome so often associated with NASCAR) and as a result was unable to go with the Masterpiecce Group that had so generously offered me incredible [...]

Complaining Attender Voicemail

Check out the latest entry over on the Edge Church Think Tank. If you liked Blake Bergstrom’s “Pitching Tents” sermon, you will never stop laughing after hearing the “Complaining Attender Voicemail.“

A Toast to Great Friends

Next to personally leading someone to Christ, I can’t think of anything more rewarding than performing a wedding, especially when it is for someone that you love.
Manny and Lisette Molina are my neighbors and good friends. They’ve been a part of Life Pointe for close to two years…first Lisette and then Manny. [...]

Thanks to Rebellion Coffee Co. for the Feature

A quick thanks to the people at Rebellion Coffee Co. Libertarian Blog for the Nov. 10th feature of my entry on A Christian Citizen’s Response to Jimmy Carter. I’m tippin’ my Venti Caramel Macchiatto to you!

A Christian Citizen’s Response to Jimmy Carter

Christian first, citizen second. Thet’s the way the priority works for me. I’m not so sure that is the case with our former president and famous Georgia Baptist, Jimmy Carter.
Of course, Bruce Miller of the Blue Voice had a lot to praise in Jimmy Carter’s new top seller, “Our Endangered Values.” In response, [...]

Who Governs the Government?

Please understand that I DO NOT ENDORSE anything about the All Saints Church, the church in this article. In fact, their views are far from what I consider to be orthodox on many issues. Secondly, I am not a big fan of churches running guns ablazing into political issues at all times. [...]

Pastor Appreciation Day

WOW! I have never felt so loved by a church before. I tip my hat and throw out a big bear hug to my family at Life Pointe for throwing such a wonderful day for us. You overwhelmed Kelly and me this Sunday. UNBELIEVABLE.
Your generosity speaks volumes about who you [...]

The Ultimate Fighters 2 Comes to a Close

Ultimate Fighter 2 comes to a close with a great fight between Rashaad Evans and Brad Imes. What a great fight. Rashaad was my favorite along with Luke Cuumo, who lost in the middle weight final (bogus decision).
Rashaad had an unconventional fighting style. At 5′11″ and 225 lbs, he took out the [...]

The Tale of Two Pictures

It was nice to Homestead’s Charlie Jones step up to fill in for T. Moss in our 27-7 schlacking of VTech. Kyle Wright is the man. Coach Coker shined as he forced VTech to start off the game with a TO when Devin Hester lined up as our punter. Special Teams A. [...]

My girls

I love these pictures of Kourtney and McKenna. Actually, there’s a picture of Kelly in there also. But, that is to show how much Kel and McKenna look alike. Funny. They both look a little freaked out!
On the right, Kourtney was all dressed up for Aimee Herrera’s princess party. And [...]

Top 50 Most Influential Churches in America

Taken from The Church Report, the “Top 50 Most Influential Churches” points out one terrific point and implies another. First, 7 of the Top 10 Churches are still led by their founding pastors. Second, the most influential church in the world to you is the one where you were radically changed from darkness [...]

The Best Dog in the World

You were a small little pup, brown and black. You looked like a little bear when we brought you home in a box. On the bad days when it felt like no one was on my side, you always greeted me with a big smile and a wagging tail. On the best [...]

Introducing the Life Pointe Church Blog

Since this blog began, church and personal stuff has been intermingled. But, that is no more (officially). From time to time, I may put up some thoughts here concerning the church. But from now on, all church items will be in the “Boss Blog” of Life Pointe Church.
In fact, if you would like to get [...]
