October 28, 2010 – West Coast Radio Promo Tour (Day 3)
Posted by on December 2, 2010
Day 3 started by being greeted by the sounds of the Pacific ocean singing me a wake up call. Walking outside and having my face kissed by the sun and my eyes introducing themselves to the beauty of the pacific caused me to slow down and praise the composer of this fine symphony. How awesome is our God that He placed all this here and we get to enjoy it. Best playground ever made!!! After catching… (read more)

September 17, 2010 – Pure & Sports Blog
Posted by on December 2, 2010
We have entered in to an asterisks filled sporting generation.  These kids are accomplishing great feats in the sporting world, but why does it have to be tainted?

I grew up playing sports.  I was a football and baseball guy growing up through high… (read more)
