- PUMPED about the incredible weekend we had. Lots of travel, lots of food, and lots of family! Also, I ran the Cowtown Half Marathon in Ft. Worth this morning with my dad. It was 30 degrees and we ran the first two miles straight into 36 mile an hour winds. NASTY. But, I finished alongside my Dad (for the first time ever; usually I’m ahead of him but I wanted to run with him today) and has a BLAST!
- PUMPED that my parent brought my childhood, handmade by my grandad TOYBOX. I’m going to clean it up and it will be Couper’s.
- PUMPED about the new series called Famous Last Words we’ll be starting in the morning at The Connection Church.
- PUMPED about a top secret creative element in the services tomorrow that is going to take ALL OF US at TCC to a WHOLE NUTHA’ LEVEL.
- PUMPED about some other BIG STUFF that I can’t give details on…yet.
- PUMPED that we are having the BIG HUNT at the Thunder Hill Raceway. BOOOYAH. I know lots of churches with Easter Egg Hunts, but none that have one with 20,000 plus eggs hidden on a NASCAR sanctioned race track. HECK YES! COME ON!
- NOT PUMPED about nothing.

Saturday Night Shots
A Game of Dare…with GOD.
Last fall we did something called “First Fruits” Sunday during the Something So Big campaign. This was basically a day for us to kick off giving our commitments that we made on Commitment Sunday by giving our biggest and best offering.
Let me share what our family did. I felt like God wanted us to reach a BIG GOAL for our first fruits offering. In fact, it was so big for our family and budget that it required some sacrifice and some hard work. When I came up with the amount we were going to give, I literally laughed at myself. It simply was not possible.
But, over the following few weeks, God sent all kinds of side design work and magic show opportunities my way and provided extra income to our family that I never saw coming. So guess what we did? We were able to double the silly little dollar amount that I came up with and give it to Something So Big.
In Malachai 3:10, God plays the dare game with us. He dares us to just test Him in this one area and see if He doesn’t pour out blessing into our lives.
Incredible concept huh? Listen to God. Do what God says. God comes through.
It really is that simple much of the time. Why do we make it so much harder on ourselves?
My Wife is AMAZING
Couper turned one last month. I cannot believe he is already a year old. I had a pretty tough time with that…I actually cried after I put him to bed on his birthday. I took it hard.
But this blog isn’t about me being a sissy…its about my incredible wife. She threw Couper the coolest first birthday any kid has ever had! She basically turned our house into a jungle with very little help. I couldn’t believe it.

Life on Life
My blogging buddy Terrace Crawford does these sweet interviews called “Life on Life” where he asks different church leaders a few questions. I love the interviews and getting to hear what other leaders say. This month, I am honored to be Terrace’s Life on Life interviewee! Check it out HERE. Thanks Terrace, you da man…
