I told Sarah last week that I knew what I wanted for my birthday this year. I never usually decide at all, but just say, "Whatever...." (Never the answer she's looking for.) I told her that this year I'd like to have a house concert and invite people out to enjoy some awesome music together. She said that would be great! And because it's really easier for us to throw an event in one of the

We had a newer family picture taken recently. I can't believe how my kids are growing up! They are all awesome and uniquely gifted, and I couldn't be more blessed. Sarah is beautiful and amazing and gets the credit.

We finished our annual men's conference here at Sabine Creek Ranch a couple of weeks ago. In addition to the great time we had eating, hanging out, catching up with friends and playing some 42, we were challenged to start fighting a little harder.On Friday night, the guys came into a full professional boxing ring with MMA fighters going at it. This wasn't fake fighting, these dudes were

Sarah and I, along with a bunch of friends, are going to read the Bible through in 90 days starting in January. Would you join us?To be honest, I don't have much luck with one year Bible plans for several reasons. A lot of groups are having great success with focusing on reading 12 pages per day for 90 days, though.This won't be a study program. It is a reading program designed to help us read

I'll be doing a concert on Sunday, November 1 at the Pier 419 Auditorium at Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall. Start time is 6pm. A lot of new songs, some of my favorite older originals, and featuring other talented artists I know you'll enjoy. This will be a great night of music, food and fellowship in a wonderful venue.Concert will be from 6-7:30, and feel free to stay around afterward to hang

As a guy who gets a lot more done in a quiet environment, it can get a little noisy during camp season! Here is a recent view from my office window. Sometimes you have to go on a quest for quiet....

There is such a myriad of options for kids during the summer months today. It seems they are all on a faster path toward achievement in school and activities. There are sports camps, music camps, science camps, computer camps, and the list goes on.... All these activities vie for the attention, the resources and the limited time of children and their families.In the midst of all these options

Here's a song I wrote a while back. After a long, hot summer of camp and pouring our lives into kids and staff, we can end up dry, both physically and spiritually. Sarah is constantly reminding our staff and campers to drink plenty of water so they don't wind up in the nurse's office and miss out on everything.If you find yourself spiritually exhausted, I hope you'll rest, turn to Jesus Christ,

Last night I went to visit an Iraqi friend. He was a famous painter in the middle east, but finds himself struggling to make it as a refugee in America. His wife insisted I eat with them, and I enjoyed the experience! Waleed wants to make great art, to communicate ideas, and to discuss deep issues, and is frustrated by his inability to do so in English. But he's learning fast. His paintings

I woke up at 5 this morning to get ready for an 8:40 flight out of DFW. After flying about halfway to Birmingham, our plane was leaking fuel, so they turned us around and took us back to Dallas (where there is a repair facility, versus Birmingham where there isn't. Thanks American.)Next flight canceled due to weather. Sent us to Northwest Air for another flight. Delayed 2 hours, and can't

I talk a lot about the refugees we are befriending. The United Nations is sending them to Dallas in droves, about 2,500 last year alone. That means every week on average there are 10 or 12 families arriving here from places like Nepal (where these photos were taken), Burma, Thailand, Bhutan, Vietnam, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, and so many more.Take a look at these photos. This Bhutanese family has

My son, Cole, who just turned 7 this weekend, loves nothing more than our visits to our international friends' homes. Last week we visited families from Bhutan, Somalia and Iraq in one evening. I told him he may have been the only little boy in Texas to do that that night. They love seeing him too.

Hey guys,Thought I'd share a song I just wrote. It needs some work, but anyway, this is where they start....Hope this will encourage you to start your day worshiping the One True God.Blessings,Eddie And here are the lyrics: The heavens declareThe earth declaresAll creation declares That You are GodThe mountains declareThe oceans delareMighty rivers declareThat You are GodAnd not to be
