I finally got around to publishing the pictures from the 9-17 and 9-24 games. It’s amazing how slow the upload speed is going to the host server too. But then again, I post the full size versions of the photos and those can take awhile. Looks like it’s going to take close [...]
As many of you may have read or heard about the deadly carjacking/abduction that took place here in Acworth. I previously blogged about the incident based on the initial details. I have recently found this more complete account of what really happened. And just to clarify, Kim and Shawn (the armed citizen) [...]
It appears that Danny Wuerffel’s home was destroyed in the Hurricane as well as Desire Street Ministries’ facilities, but Danny is already hitting the trail to get things going again. One of his upcoming stops will be at my parents church with some more information here from the pastor. Just when I thought [...]
This past weekend, I made a quick trip (as quick as can be made to an IKEA store apparently) to the local IKEA store in Atlanta. If you have never been to an IKEA store, you need to go if you get the chance. I’m still searching for the words to describe it. [...]

The suspect, in the course of taking the vehicle with her still in it, ended up in a collision with a cement truck, killing the carjacking victim. The one bright [...]
There are lots of great organizations, but we decided to support Samaritan’s Purse (headed by Franklin Graham). Obviously, you can choose from lots of places to give to the hurricane relief, bu just wanted to encourage folks to get involved.
I just couldn’t help but post an entry about Sara’s Uncle Eathel and his fall from 55 feet. Our small group had prayed for Uncle Eathel and it’s cool to see the story actually on the internet. My favorite quote:
Southall says it isn’t how far you fall that matters. It’s how hard you [...]
Thanks to Google, I was able to extract the trapped hummingbird from our garage. Apparently, hummingbirds immediately want to fly up anytime they feel threatened or trapped. So when a hummingbird flies into a garage to check out the red emergency handle on the garage door opener and happen to get slightly disoriented [...]
