Are you ready for some football?
Well the Houston Texans weren’t. I had to get out of the apt and decided to drive over to Houston and catch the Houston vs. KC game and catch a little Priest Holmes action. Of which there was quite a bit.
It was raining so I stopped at wal-mart to pick up a poncho […]

Nice but quick visit with the Pierson’s
They worshipped at CCM today while they were in town visiting with some friends. They saw the kids and we had a quick visit in the hallway. It was so nice to see them!

Cash is dead…
I don’t even like country music. at. all. But I was ok with Johnny Cash. I heard the news this morning and they were playing a bit of “Ring of Fire“. It’s been playing in my head all day long. If you’ve ever heard it, its playing in your head now […]
