Rabun Crawling

with one comment

Rabun has started her version of crawling. She’s actually been very close to crawling for a few weeks now, but still hasn’t figured out exactly what to do with her hands.

The motivation in both of these shots is the well documented screen fascination.

New Job

with 2 comments

On January 1st I started a new job. I am now the Media and Technology Director at Cross Point Baptist Church, where Jessica and I have been attending for about two years.

I learned a lot at Fort Valley and was able to do a lot of interesting things, but when the opportunity to work at my church came along, it was very difficult to pass up.

In my new role, I’ll be in charge of all the information technology, web site, most of the publications and media, and the audio visual elements on Sunday morning. I’ve just finished up two weeks, and I’m having a blast. Working in an environment where everyone shares a common desire to excel for Christ is challenging and encouraging. The team at Cross Point is excellent and everyone gets a long well.

I’m looking forward to learning a lot and doing ministry full time.

Ducks

with 2 comments

At 6:30 this morning, somewhere in Monroe County, Ga, it was 18°F. I know, because I was there.

Early Morning

This morning was the opening day of duck season for our region of Georgia, and we had a good day shooting.

Creeping Up

The sunrise was beautiful, but it didn’t make the situation any warmer. After the hunt, as we trudged through the pond, we had to break ice to find some ducks. And my brother-in-law Jim got especially acquainted with the cold when he decided to jump down from his blind, which just happened to be planted in one of the drainage ditches of the pond. “Man overboard!”

Everyone got their limit, a great hunt.

Brothers

I’m a big fan of Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles on FOX, although Jessica won’t watch it with me, what with the shooting and the blood and all. On an recent episode there was a Bible reference that I didn’t recognize, so off I went to look it up. The story is in Genesis 34, and it’s one, that while I may have heard a long time ago, I certainly didn’t recognize. I highly encourage you to read the chapter for yourself, it’s an easy read, but here’s my retelling.
