Coming Full Circle in Life

I want to take a pause from the WVU Scandal - trust me, we will return to in short time - to talk about something personal for a moment.
Today, is a very special day in my life, the life of my family, and the life of my friends. In a few short hours, I’ll stand [...]

A Moment Unlike Any Other … The First Birdie

It’s a beautiful day here in Kentucky. The sun is out. It’s about 70-plus degrees. A great day for some golf.
Yes, golf.
I haven’t been able to play in a few weeks because of my arm issues and today I had the need for 18 holes of frustration, long putts, lost balls, and water hazards. Actually, [...]

This Doesn’t Help My Fear of Flying Next Week

Next week, I’m scheduled to partake in my first flight in 12 years. I’m not comfortable with the idea of not having the control of getting myself from point A (Lexington) to point B (Minneapolis) but I realize that flying gets me there quicker and allows more time for training that I need.
I’m a little [...]

Back in the Bubble Again

Five States. More than a thousand miles on the old pick-up. And a couple hundred donated to those poor, starving oil companies.
I have returned to the Wilmore Bubble after a six-day vacation that took me to where I grew up in West Virginia, where I call home in North Carolina, the Smoky Mountains, and parts [...]

Shopping Should be an Olympic Sport and Other Thoughts

I went to the mall today. That is stressful enough.
It turns out that the luggage that I own just doesn’t do the job for a good week-long trip. I end up needing two bags just for myself because my bags are so small, so with my federal refund in hand I figured now was the [...]

Check This Out

Last night, my friend Greg Arthur and I spent some time doing what we both do best - talking. If you click on this link you can gain our thoughts on life in Seminary, steroids in baseball, Kelvin Sampson, Mike Huckabee, and Barack Obama, and a partridge in a pair tree.
Check it out!

Who I am Today

Many of my friends and family (hey, they’re all family in a way) read this blog from back in my new native of North Carolina since I left North Carolina in August to attend seminary. I also know many of my seminary friends check in from time to time to see what I’m coming up [...]

What a Sucky Week

This is not been a great week by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps that is partly why I haven’t posted at all here lately. At one point, I entertained the idea of shutting down this blog - yeah, it’s been that bad. I’ve gone from restful estatic to full of no energy and wondering [...]

Worship Blunders, Shorts, and Being an Uncle

This is sort of a hodge podge of a blog to clear out some interesting and wonderful moments that happened over the weekend. Enjoy!
Yesterday, was perhaps the happiest day of my life in quite some time.
I became an uncle to one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen. My sister-in-law gave birth to a [...]

The Three Week Break

Well, today I finished my final paper for the semester ending my first semester here in seminary officially. It’s strange to think that I am now 12 hours into my seminary career and I can burst my own bubble to think I still have 84 more hours to go for the MDiv.
After writing more papers [...]
