Taking back my personal style!

Selling what you wear is like selling how you dance: It is more about what is going on neck up then neck down. Taking a fashion chance forces you to challenge yourself. Stretching your confidence.

Pet Peeves? The President has some. What are yours?

Bicyclists who defy all traffic rules — basically they try and get the best of both worlds (auto/pedestrian). I remember the rules from road. They taught them to us in elementary school. Why aren’t they followed?

As Seen On TV

So in the days of cutting back I am conscious of some things that could go. My hair appointments. I typically like to go to get my hair done once a week…before you raise an eyebrow, let me tell you that I am HORRIBLE with hair. To the point that my hair breaks off and [...]

Intimacy

I am a creature of habit…especially on Sundays.

A typical routine on Sunday includes going to Untitled at 9:45, service at 11:15, and lunch with friends right after. This Sunday my typical “routine” was modified. I was asked to speak to the Singles (over 40) ministry. I have to admit that I was a bit [...]

Simple Thanks

One of the things I love about my relationship with my father is learning from his perspective on life. Jeffrey (yes, I call him Jeffrey) has lived a full life with tragedy and joy. He lost both of his parents by the time he was in his mid-teens and grew up poor in [...]

Our Prayers Are With You Virginia Tech

I was sitting at my desk hashing out some projects with the television on in the background. All of a sudden I am glued to the television’s breaking news about the massacre at Virginia Tech. I must admit at first I thought my ears were deceiving me. I was [...]

Easter Through a Grown Up’s Eyes

Christmas is holiday I think I have always understood. I just got it. Maybe it was because every year we would have a Christmas Program (I was often in charge of the program where each of us would sing, play the piano, or act out songs we had prepared exclusively for [...]

Meat and Potatoes

When I moved to Austin four years ago, I went church hopping. Church hopping is my least favorite part of moving. It’s like after you have gone through all of the unpacking, sorting, and decorating to make your new house a home, you still have the quest to find your community. Part [...]

That Kind Of Legacy

Although I didn’t lay it out last Monday, in keeping with my new themed days, Monday will be the day I talk about spiritual things, events, thought, devotionals, experiences, you name it. (To recap: Tuesday-Physical, Wednesday-Professional (Book Tour), Thursday-Service, Friday-Social)
One of my favorite songs is Legacy by Nichole Nordeman. The lyrics of the chorus are:
