Top iPhone Camera Apps for Mobile Photography
Every since the very first iPhone came out I have been trying to find ways to make the camera on the iPhone a viable photography choice when a DSLR was just too big, bulky, and basically unavailable. Most photographers would have scoffed at the thought of using a cell phone for any kind of serious […]

The Valedictorian Graduation Speech of 1963 :: Throwback Thursday
In honor of what would have been Georgia Christal’s 65th birthday on March 29th (Deborah’s mom), today’s Throwback Thursday post is a photo of what was her graduation speech, the valedictorian speech of the class of 1963 (even though she is standing at a podium that says class of 1955, is that weird?). I love […]

A Mix of Sun and Rain So Time to Stop and Smell the Roses
They say you should stop and smell the roses. It has been so cold, wet, dark, and raining for the last few days that you couldn’t get outside and do anything, let alone smell a rose. It finally cleared up enough this afternoon to jump outside for a quick break, and today that makes this […]

What Does the Church Look Like in 2012?
One of the things I love about our particular church is that we are always talking about reaching the unreached… reaching deeper into the community of Auburn and Opelika trying to find ways to bring the Gospel to those who haven’t heard the Good News (a command throughout the New Testament I might add). One […]

Mwangaza Children's Choir Today at Cornerstone
Worship today was a little different at Cornerstone, Brian was teaching this morning, and the Mwangaza Children’s Choir (also on Twitter) was here in Auburn visiting from Uganda. Cornerstone has been partnering with a nearby community church in Uganda, Buloba Community Church, for several years now and this choir hosted by Africa Renewal Ministries was […]

Dogwood Blooms Covering Spring in Auburn
Dogwoods are finally blooming over at our house, must mean we have about 2 days left of Spring before the brutal summer heat shows up. Either way the Dogwood blooms this year have been incredible all over Auburn and the surrounding area. I took these particular shots this morning while there was still a little […]

Best Response Yet to Bell vs Piper Debate from Christianaudio.com
I hesitate to even do a blog post at this point about Rob Bell’s book Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived, it’s been beaten to death on the Internet so much it’s beyond beating a dead horse, but… I feel obligated. I finished Love Wins […]

Put off Flesh, Put on Christ: Colossians 3:5–16
Colossians 3:5-16 is one of those classic pieces of scripture that can be studies and meditated over time and time again. I made this particular post also available in a pdf Put off Flesh, Put on Christ: Colossians 3:5–16 in my writing section. Colossians 3:5-16 Overview In Paul’s letter to the Colossians, chapter 3 starts […]

Changes to Unfiltered and Random Posts
Finally got around to updating my Tumblr site with a new custom domain and design theme. i am going to start posting random stuff over here that i don’t necessarily want to post on my blog, it’s going to be totally random over here and probably way more unfiltered than my blog, but that’s the […]

Printed Books vs iPad or Kindle eBooks and the Future of Books
I love having this conversation with my paper book loving friends, maybe because I am always in the minority when it comes to eBooks over paper books with the IRL friends. Even if you don’t read my post below, go read this comical view of the debate from TheNextWeb called Product Review: Will ‘Paper’ Replace […]

After months of looking at “Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream” by David Platt, i finally decided i had to go ahead and read this book. Having read and studied several books and/or articles that discuss the concepts and failings of what we call the “American Dream”, I already had my own […]

Purple Wisteria Blooms are Everywhere in Auburn :: Photos
I love Wisteria Blooms in the Spring. They grow like weeds down here in the south but we actually planted one a few years ago. It has grown into this huge vine that wants to eat the house, but right now, it is totally covered in beautiful purple blooms and smells incredible. Every year I […]

Processing Life in a Digital Age of iPads and Tablets :: Friday Feet
I remember when we use to marvel at the power we had at the tip of our fingers on those big clunky desktop computers. You always use to hear things like this computer is more powerful than the one that was used to launch the Apollo rockets, and it was, but today, in the world […]

The Earthquake and Evangelical Thoughts on the Unreached in Japan
I have been trying to think of something intelligent to say about the earthquake in Japan but seeing the news and the pictures coming out of that country just leaves a person almost speechless. It’s different than Haiti of course, and you don’t see “text to donate” messages being flashed all over the place (why […]

Deborah with a Little Twang from 1982 :: Throwback Thursday
Today is Thursday so I pulled this gem out of the closet (literally) for Throwback Thursday. I love the expression in Deborah’s face in this shot, it has always been one of my favorites. It was taken back in 1982 when she was 16 years old. This photo was sitting right next to all the […]
