Life Comes at You Fast
Saturday night I was in a wreck. I didn’t see it coming. I had parked in the huge pakring lot under I-35 near 6th street to meet up with some friends that were leaving Austin for Grad school. After a fun dinner with friends I headed back to my truck to head home for the [...]
California Bound
I’m California bound in just a few short hours. In much need of a vacation, I am headed the west coast to escape work, the cellphone, the computer, e-mail and all the other distractions that take me away. Hopefully I’ll come back with some great pictures and some fun memories to share while out west. [...]
Yea for Craigslist
I’m pretty happy with some results I got today from Craigslist. Since I have been remodeling and fixing up my home, I have generated a lot of trash. More recently, I took down a deck that was in my front yard and I had the wood pieces and all the cinder blocks sitting [...]

It’s been awhile since I have been to a funeral. It’s been awhile since it was someone that was really close to me. My grandfather [...]
A Conversation With A Solider
On Sunday night I spent the evening with some good friends of mine over some coffee and some great live music at Dominican Joe’s, a new coffee house in downtown Austin right off of Congress Avenue. Afterwards we headed back to a friends house for dinner and some great conversation.
My friend Dan and I have [...]
Small Group Encouragement
I’ve been out of the realm of my small group the past two weeks because of work. Last night I was able to attend again and I’m more than thankful that I did. I haven’t felt this encouraged by a group of men in a long time. Aside from all the joking around and picking [...]
