I am celebrating my third wedding anniversary with my beautiful wife.
And Rob Bell is off his rocker!

30 years today. August 24, 1982.
I have broken into the third decade.
It’s not my birthday. I’m actually 35. I’ve been in my 30′s for a while now. However, I “said the prayer” 30 years ago.
If I only would have known what that meant at the ripe young age of 5.
But that doesn’t matter. Continue Reading…
As the second post in the series called Five Myths Keeping Us Legendary, the idea of the Prayer Myth will be our focus.
Prayer Is the Key
Back in the day… I was only allowed to listen to Southern Gospel. I really enjoyed listening to the records (yes, vinyl) of The Master’s Five, The Blackwood Brothers, etc. One of the singers I liked was named Jake Hess.
Jake Hess has since passed from this life. However, when he was here, he belted out the notes of a song in particular that was burned in my memory at the young age of 6. Continue Reading…
Being legendary is good, right? I mean, they write books and make movies about legends! Who wouldn’t want to be a legend?
I enjoy a good action flick. One of the more recent movies I have seen is The Avengers. Man, these superheroes are legendary! They have all these cool little contraptions and super powers that help them fight evil.
The Avengers join forces because they are the good guys.
Some of you may have thought of a certain Tree at this point. If not, no worries. It’s not important right now. This is just the introduction to a series.
On we go into the conversation about this series called, “Five Myths Keeping Us Legendary” which will begin posting on Monday, June 11. Continue Reading…
I used to listen to a R&B singing group called BBD. It composed of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They branched off a group called New Edition. This group also had some top notch singers in it. Bobby Brown and Ralph Tresvant rocked it out with Bell, Bivins, and DeVoe for a while. Bobby Brown went big on a solo act. A little bit later New Edition brought in Johnny Gill.
That was a while ago. Today, New Edition is on a 30-year reunion tour-ma-jiggy.
When New Edition was discovered, no one really knew how big they would change the face of music in the 80′s. New Edition paved some trails for groups like BBD, Silk, Boys to Men, and even Nsync and the Backstreet Boys.
New Edition
So I sit here today realizing there is a New Edition of me. I’m not sure what the developments will become. Will I have a solo act? Will I bring in other performers? Will I start my own recording studio? Will I sing a song that hits number one in the charts?
Nope, I don’t know.
Rather, I am choosing the path of a new edition of myself. I have been beholding the Lord and been hearing some interesting things as I begin this new edition. I have just completed a 10-post series about letting Cat’s out of a Bag. This series was enjoyable and encouraging as I heard your stories through the publication of the series.
I am seeing a couple of things I will be attached to in this next season. I know some of you will want to join me and some of you will want to move on. That’s cool! But either way, if you know of some folks that would be encouraged by the content I am going to be attached to, let them know about this blog.
