A little sneak peak at the cover for the latest issue of The Business Journal. It should be available later this week in the Erath/Hood County area.
On a side note, the colors aren’t quite right on the shot above. I think I forgot to convert it from CMYK to RGB before uploading it to Flickr.
A very cool ad campaign for Star Wars on SpikeTV.
This looks very interesting.
I love seeing churches come together.
Adobe launches Photoshop Express online.
I haven’t tried it yet, but the idea of a stripped-down, but free version of Photoshop online is interesting. Just remember, it does not make you a designer.
Twitter saving lives.
Told you it wasn’t useless.

I was born in 1980. Up to this point I’ve considered myself to be young.
During class, yesterday, a kid mentioned fanny packs. I said, “Yeah, will just pretend it’s 1985 again and all wear fanny packs.”
One of the girls suddenly perked up and began speaking in that mile-a-minute voice only eleven-year-olds have. “Oh my gosh, [...]
After last week and this weekend, I’m tired. Hopefully I’ll get some rest this week.
In between getting rest, I’m also hoping to get completely caught up before the next big project hits.
The latest issue of The Business Journal comes out next week.
Pastoring at a small church is exhilarating, frustrating and challenging all at the same [...]
Do not, and I repeat do not, under any circumstances purchase a Loaded Steakhouse Burger from Burger King.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like a baked potato went out for a night on the town. He danced and drank all evening and stumbled home in the wee hours of the morning. With blood-shot eyes, he [...]
I stayed with my parents Thursday night while I had to be in that area for business. Cody and Amanda came over and they proceeded to teach me how to play 42.
I quickly picked up the game and figured out the best way to cheat. After all, I couldn’t let my brother beat me.
Unfortunately I [...]
And now a post for aspiring designers.
One simple lesson you need to learn:
Photoshop does not make you a designer.
Buying Photoshop will not make you a designer.
Learning to do a drop shadow in Photoshop will not make you a designer.
Photoshop is a powerful tool to enable design, not design itself. You want to be a designer? [...]
I just finished a huge design project last week and I’m in the middle of another one this week. This has me thinking a lot about the art and business of design. Over the next two weeks I’ll have a few posts targeted at designers, people who want to be designers and people who want [...]
You can read about my thoughts on Christian music here. That being said, I love Lee McDerment’s new album, A Matchlight in the Dark.
Why?
Because it’s just great music. I didn’t have to check my masculinity at the door before listening. I bought it because I’ve been a fan of what’s going on at Newspring where [...]
I’ve been reminded this last week that so much of ministry happens outside the church. That’s the important part. Church is just there to bring the family together to connect. You can’t have deep relationships with people if you see them for an hour on Sunday’s. It takes an investment of time to get to [...]
Drive to Fry’s. Find I’ve forgotten my wallet. Drive back home.
Later drive back to Fry’s. Make purchases. Discover I’ve lost my phone.
Backtrack all the way through Fry’s and find phone.
Lose Colton on the way out of Fry’s.
Find Colton after being paged over the intercom.
Leave Fry’s only to get lost trying a “shortcut.”
Get back on track [...]
Today turned out to be a really great day. We broke a Legacy attendance record and it’s fun to see that many people fill up the building. It’s also great to see a few people stepping up and serving in various areas. It feels like things are really starting to come together.
So today was huge. [...]
All Colton wants for his birthday is to go to Six Flags. Today we got online and bought the tickets for he and Becca to go. He was playing outside as we printed out the tickets.
Becca leaned her head out the door, “Colton, get in here!” she said in her best you’re-in-trouble voice.
She walked over [...]
“Watch it, your momma’s wily,” I told Conner.
“Actually, she’s a hottie,” he answered with a smirk.
I’ve really got watch what I say around the boys.
Please pray for me. My jaw is doing something wrong. It hurts every time I close it all the way. And I like to eat. So it hurts a lot.
And my knees are killing me. I’ve had bad knees for many years, but photography requires a ton of crouching, bending, running, stairs… Pretty much anything [...]
