A few weeks at the church, I made a mistake. Not a big mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. A mistake that cost us, not much, but a little bit of money, about $30 for some overnight shipping. I know that’s not much, but it still constitutes as a mistake. We used to have nothing but [...]

Failure is a powerful thing.
It can hit you at any moment.
It strikes fear into all of us.
It can come without warning.
It stops a project dead in it’s tracks.
It hinders us from trying again.
It causes people to lose their jobs.
It does not discriminate.

But most importantly…

It can motivate us to get it right the next time.

I hate [...]

I just finished reading this health book, “Body for Life”, that I’ve had for about 6 years. It’s literally been sitting on my bookshelf for years. I don’t think I ever even read the intro before. But I decided to crack the spine once and for all. And here’s what I discovered.

Apparently I’m old.

In the [...]

Yes, Desi and I moved again. But this time we’re staying for a while.

We moved back into our house in Villa Rica. It felt so good to move in, despite the scuff marks and bad patch jobs left by our renter. Oh, and not to mention the lawnmower she took with her.

BUT…

Other than that the [...]

The current economic climate is not good for anyone.
I know that.
And I know you know that.
But some of us are feeling it worse than others.

Take Desi and I for example…

We bought this house in February of 2008.
Then moved out in June that same year.
We didn’t lose the house or anything; we still own it.
We moved [...]

You may have noticed my slight absence on NoisemakersUnited.com, well I have a good reason.

Seriously, I really do.

I needed a break.

God has been speaking to me a lot about resting.

So I decided to take a rest from a couple of things. Some of them were easier to stay away from than others, such as this [...]

“Take nothing for the journey except a staff – no bread, no bag, no money in you belt, Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet [...]

I tweeted this picture ealier…

Please allow me to explain the pink gloves and angry face…

Today is my one day a week I’m actually in the office at Crossroads, and Desi came with me so she could go to lunch with her friend for herbirthday. That meant that Riley would be in our [...]

Yesterday was the FINAL day in the week of the bachelor.

Well, technically it wasn’t a full day. Just until about 11:45 am. But it was long enough.

Yesterday, Desi came home! I was so glad to finally see her. It’s been a very long week without her.

Basically all I did was clean the place up a [...]

Today was quite lame.

I worked the shack and sat around the house.

Literally, that’s it.

Today, I REALLY started missing Desi. It’s not that I haven’t missed her all week; it’s just worse today. Maybe it’s because I know that she gets home tomorrow. Maybe it’s because of the things God has been stirring in our hearts. [...]
