Why I’d really like to win a Dove Award

Posted by on April 20, 2010

Just over a year ago, my wife and I moved to Nashville, leaving behind the sandy beaches and bright sunshine of our home state of Florida. It was hard to move away from friends and family, however, it turned out to be an amazing decision. We have fallen in love with everything that Nashville has to offer. The food, the pace of life, the new friends, the landscape, and especially the music have all… (read more)

The Christmas Season

Posted by on November 30, 2009

Christmas is the season of giving. Sure, giving (and getting) presents is awesome, but it's important to remember why we give. Some people say that the wise men invented the idea of gift giving (bringing Jesus gold, frankincense, and myrrh when he was born.) However, I think God's gift to us (Jesus) was first and greatest. So, as we give this Christmas, let's remember that God first… (read more)
