Ok blog buddies, I’ve got a favor to ask you. I’m going to be attending the LeadNow conference in Orlando April 24-26. My wife (who will be with me at the Exponential conference April 22-24) will be driving back to Tampa to get the kids and I’ll be staying on through Saturday for LeadNow. Right [...]

Where do I go for creative inspiration?

This morning’s Creative Chaos question over at RagamuffinSoul.com was “Where it is that we go to find our personal creativity?” The first ingredient necessary to initiate my creative process is a good cup of coffee. Nothing gets my creative juices flowing like some fresh-roasted, freshly-ground, fair-trade, french-pressed coffee! I have several places I go outside [...]

Moving Day! (part 1)

Today was our moving day! The movers showed up bright and early at 8:00 this morning and immediately began wrapping furniture and carrying out boxes. We were in pretty good shape with our boxes thanks to some help last night from our friends: Heather, Aaron & Devon (not pictured). We’re just getting ready to head [...]

Our 2,300 Mile Exodus

It’s only 120 miles from Fort Wayne, IN to Carmel where we’re moving. So why are we taking the 2,300 mile route? Good question. Towards the end of last year we began to feel God calling us to step out of our comfort zone into something new. Little did we know that it would result [...]

A Worthwhile Luxury

Tonight on the way home I stopped by my favorite coffee house to pick up some fresh-roasted beans. They’re one of the only coffee houses in the area that roast their own beans fresh on site. They had just gotten a shipment of a special Estate Kona bean from a coffee plantation that only produces [...]

The Final Countdown

The week we’ve been anticipating/dreading at my house is finally here. By this time next week we’ll be moved out of our house and in sunny Tarpon Springs, Florida! Let me fill in some details.

Best Series Video I’ve EVER seen

I came across a video on Ragamuffin Soul’s Creative Chaos post that I had to share with you. The video is for a series at Port City Community Church called “Pursuit” about chasing after wisdom. It is off the chain! I’ve seen a lot of series video promos for churches through the years but this [...]

I Made You A Mixtape

Remember the good old days when… your buddy made you a cassette dub of the latest big-hair rock band? you had to fast-forwarding and rewinding back and forth to find the song you were looking for? you knew that you were “going steady” when your boyfriend made you a mixtape? Now mixtapes are back with [...]

Just Kidding! Bill is not my BFF!

For those of you who missed my blog yesterday this is what it looked like. Just to clear it up for those of you who may have been confused, that my friend was an April Fools Day prank. I have not converted back to Windows nor will I anytime in the foreseeable future. I’m sure [...]

I love Microsoft Windows!!!

This post has been a long time coming. I’ve tried to act like all the other cool “Mac guys” with their cool iPods and MacBooks. I even bought a MacBook Pro and was one of the first to upgrade to Leopard. But I just can’t keep up this charade any longer. I’m coming out of [...]
