Happy Birthday Christy!!!

33 years and counting! I am married to the coolest Halloween baby ever born. Thanks for making our lives fun everyday! You take care of me and the girls without fail. You bring order to our family everyday and you do it with a big heart and beautiful smile. You are loved so much!!! Thanks God for creating Christy and giving her to us!!! Happy Birthday.

Overwhelmed by Grace

The chains of sin are gone......we have been set free, my God - my Savior has ransomed me & like a flood - His mercy reigns! Unending love.....Amazing grace....a reason to rejoice always!!!

Our Purpose in Life

Both general & specifc......think about it! we were made in the image of God (we represent HIM).....we house Him (the very Spirit of God lives in us).....and we were made to GlORIFY Him. Our general purposes for being on the planet! so what about my gifts...my passions....my unique experiences? Jesus came specifically to to do the will of the Father - to reconcile us to the Father....to restore His reputation.

We too are on the planet for specific purpose(s). Mine: to accomplish the marching orders of Acts 1:8....to extend His family....to seek out the lost.....all the while bookended with bringing HIM GLORY.

How cool to be apart of the God created.....mandated institution called the local church. May i (we) seek to accomplish the marching orders of Acts 1:8 until the day comes when we will join with every ethos.

Greater Austin

Austin, Texas.........what a great city! Home to the largest state university on the planet....the center of Texas politics......a high tech mecca......and culturally savvy!!! Did I mention that Austin is 84% unchurched. That's 1.26 million people in a region of 1.5 million that have no connection to the greatest institution on the planet......the local church. The median age is a young 31.7 and 36+% have a college education compared to the national average of 26.5%. So what? you ask.......

Simply put: Austin is ripe for the explosion of the Holy Spirit to do a great work in the lives of Every Man, Woman, & Child in the greater Austin area. I hope you will join me in reaching this great city for His Glory!!!
