I just came back from vacation. I just finished this past week at work logging in a good 60 hours. And I feel like I am ready for another vacation.

The last few weeks on the job have been a bit stressful. One of my good friends and co-workers left his position at the church to take a different job at an agency here in Austin. This move for him was much needed and I’m happy that he is able to move on. But this [...]

After working a wedding on New Year’s Eve, I woke up early to head into Dallas to work the Dallas Winter Conference for Campus Crusade for Christ as their technical director.

In a recent article posted in the LA Times, this church has designed ATM kiosks for their congregation. It’s something new for many churches. And to be honest, our church has wrestled with the idea of online giving, giving by credit card or even check card, for some time now. More specifically, we have wrestled [...]

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 [...]
