Project 365 – Day 14 Digital Native – A person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the Internet from an early age: the digital tools that are reshaping our economy make more sense to young digital natives than to members of older generations. Being in […]
Project 365 – Day 13 Today I had the pleasure of meeting my good friend Glenn for a birthday lunch at one of our long time favorites, Hometown Barbeque. We’ve been friends for many years, and we share so much in common. Faith, small town roots, values, we both have daughters (no boys), wonderful wives, […]
Project 365 – Day 11 I’m a volunteer video camera guy at church once or twice a month. Video is nothing like still photography, but that’s a story for another time. One of the things I’ve gained from this experience the past couple of years is learning just what it takes to put on a […]
Project 365 – Day 10 We are both blessed by and cherish our family meal times. Most of us are together virtually every night of the week. I came across this from a North Dakota State professor, for which most of these points are so obvious but are often overlooked or dismissed in today’s American […]
Project 365 – Day 7 Today we took Katie’s car in for work at Blake Automotive. We’ve been taking our cars to John Blake for years. He’s an independent garage owner, and works exclusively on Honda products. We’ve been Honda owners for as long as we’ve been a family. Years ago I circulated an email […]
Project 365 – Day 4 We love our church. God has done amazing things through 12Stone Church and its leadership. It has grown to 4 campuses and some 15,000+ members worshiping each Sunday across a multitude of services and locations. And today, we launched 5 additional campuses in the northeast Atlanta area. Incredible things are […]
Project 365 – Day 3 Kathy and I visited the High Museum for the first time. I can’t believe we’ve lived here 20 years and haven’t been before now. It is spectacular and impressive, to say the least. Our main draw was the Cezanne exhibit, which also included works from Degas and other artists from […]
I recently took a trip to San Francisco with several colleagues for Dreamforce 2014, the annual conference hosted by Salesforce.com. This year there were 144,000 paid attendees (not including staff and workers). The shear number of people was overwhelming, and hotels and convention space across many city blocks were used for sessions. The Moscone Center […]
Yesterday (Saturday), Kathy treated me to an afternoon date at Tunes from the Tombs, a music festival at Atlanta’s historic Oakland Cemetery. What a Father’s Day treat! We had never heard of it until a good friend, Phil, mentioned it to me last week. Oakland Cemetery is huge, full of history, and perhaps most notably […]
It’s become a tradition of ours to always take a group shot at this park entrance sign in Townsend. 🙂
This is what we came for. FLOWERS! This is White Oak Sinks, a hollow requiring a modest 2-mile hike from the main road. It is a small basic surrounded by steep hills. One side of this area has an incredible waterfall that literally disappears into the ground (see this LINK from a previous visit), and […]
