Does Church Suck?

So we headed out to church this morning. Now, for the most part i do not like going to church. Why, you ask? Well for me I hate being bored and church can be the mother of boredom at times.
Of course, some churches tend to over-compensate. They try to “entertain” the whole service, which is […]

We all have people that we connect with…For whatever reason there is a kindred-spirit. Mark Batterson is one of those guys for me. I do not know Mark, but he just seems to strike a nerve when he writes.
And this morning he did it again. He just posted on his blog 7 Leadership Reminders. Very […]

Ah…You Made It

Welcome to the new digs. Feel free to take a look around. It’s still a work in progress. But, I really enjoy Wordpress. Since my coding skills are VERY limited, and Blogger Beta was disappointing. I decided I needed a change.
Also, I have a new feed for those who who read via a newsreader. (bloglines, […]

Someone forgot to tell mother nature that it’s October, therefore 90 degree weather should be a thing of the past, right? Wrong! Man it’s hot.  (I can hear all my friends in Seattle laughing right now)
Allergies have got me down,  but I finally made it out. Saturday we ate at the Texas Road House, pretty […]

Go Local

One of the reasons I wanted to live in Austin is the local culture that is promoted. Austin is unique, fun, hip and local. Sure we have our fair share of “big box” corporate chains.
But, we also have a huge local business atmosphere. And the city seems to rally behind it’s local business owners, which […]

Of course the locals think it’s better then Changs. I’ll reserve judgment for later. Suzi (the owner) was there, saying hi, and […]
