Full Plate

March 31, 2008

This plate and my plate feel the same right now. When you have an empty plate and think of all of the things that you wanna eat, it can be hard to decide how much of which food to place where. When you start placing food on the plate, you choose your portion sizes with [...]

March 30, 2008

Go ahead, call me crazy, but this is THE year for the Braves to win it all. I say this every year, but now Jayson Stark, the ESPN.com baseball guru says so too! Nana nana boo boo!

Love Your Neighbor (It Helps to Know Them Too)

March 30, 2008

This is Eric Pinckney. He is my neighbor. We met a few months ago when it actually snowed so much in Atlanta that our kids made a snowman – a big one. Tonight we had dinner with his beautiful family (Claristine, EJ, Joshua) and really enjoyed our time together. We watched Davidson lose to Kansas, [...]

East Lake Panthers (YMCA League)

March 29, 2008

Being the cheesy, tech dad that I am, I have created a simple blog for Kendi’s soccer team. My hope is that it will help keep parents in the loop and allow the kids to see themselves online (which many of them have never done before. It’s nice and simple. If you wanna check it [...]

My Photo with Barack Obama (Where’s Waldo Style)

March 28, 2008

This photo was taken by my Morehouse brother Tim Cunningham about a year ago when Barack came to Atlanta and over 20,000 people showed up. I had no idea Tim took this photo until it showed up on my Facebook page today. In a very corny way I am proud of this photo! I told [...]

The Power of Going Public – (Training w/ Andrew Johnston)

March 28, 2008

My doctors have recommended that I have a multi-level spinal fusion. This is the spinal equivalent to losing a kidney or a testicle. In other words, I don’t want to have this procedure. It would permanently alter the quality of my life and send me down a path I am not willing to follow at [...]

Deacon the Villain – My Main Man!

March 27, 2008

This is Deacon the Villain. He is one of the hottest rappers and music producers in the world. Before he was so fresh and famous, he was my college roommate in 1997 at Morehouse College (LLC – 3rd Floor) and at the crappy Spanish Trace Apartments where we were robbed the first week after we [...]

Don’t Call It a Comeback!

March 27, 2008

On the dark, icy night of November 28th, 2003, my wife and I were in a full-speed, head-on car collision. The shear force of the crash sent my face (not my head, but the front of my face) crashing through the front windshield and tore my handsome mug to shreds… Regretfully, I never lost consciousness [...]

Big, Fat Lies from Hillary Clinton (Video)

March 26, 2008

Wow! I can understand some of the controversy about Barack’s pastor, but criticizing Barack on what someone else has said is very different than criticizing Hillary based on what she has said. Follow my quick argument and check out this CBS News video for yourself. Hillary has touted her overseas trips, particularly her trip to [...]

I Saw Jesus in My Bathtub

March 26, 2008

This morning I was watching the news and saw the dumbest thing. When I find a link, I will post it, but a simple google search tells me that people are "seeing" Jesus everywhere. A woman, this morning, swore the collection of dirt (presumably from her nasty butt) in the bottom of her shower is [...]

Good Friday @ Buckhead Church

March 25, 2008

Since I admire the great work that they do in our city and I only live a few miles away, I have been wanting to visit Buckhead Church for a while and finally got the chance to go this past Good Friday. Rai and I took the kids to the nearest Toys R Us two [...]

Smallest, Youngest? So What!

March 25, 2008

My daughter Kendi, at the front of this line, is the youngest, smallest child on her soccer team and one of only two girls. My wife and I watch her on the field and recognize all of these potential challenges right away. Somewhere along the way we have been conditioned to magnify challenges and perceived [...]

Barbie Power w/ Peace Signs or Rabbit Ears Pajama Party (Minutes before the tornado touched down a few 100 feet away) You know the scene in Pulp Fiction where Mia gets the $5 Milk Shake? Well – $5 milk shake, meet the $4 Whole Foods cupcake! FYI – it was as good as Mia’s $5 [...]

A Multi-Site Easter

March 24, 2008

Yesterday was an awesome day for Total Grace Christian Center. With three separate, all-live (no video) locations throughout metro-Atlanta and four (sometimes five) Sunday morning services, we are getting better and better at creating a great experience for all of our locations and yesterday was a great example of this. We were one of the [...]

Soccer Dad (And Mom)

March 22, 2008

We are going to be leaving in a few minutes to go to a soccer game for Kendi – my 6 year old daughter. It is going to be pretty chilly this morning, but it was 28 degrees during our first game last year and should be at least 50 degrees this time. These games [...]

Living Well with Pain

March 21, 2008

Nearly 13 years ago to the day I was assaulted. I detail the assault a little more here, but it was brutal and set my life on a very different path. I was 15 years old at the time and missed over a year of school recovering from the many injuries and spinal surgeries required [...]

Atlanta Tornado Photo

March 20, 2008

This photo was just released from the tornado this past Saturday in downtown Atlanta. This photo was taken about 1 mile away from the storm. See the skyscraper with the lit top. That is the tornado to the right of it. I live a few hundred feet away, but didn’t even know it happened! Just [...]

Actually Fixed Corn Pops

March 20, 2008

I don’t actually fix my kids Corn Pops every morning before school, but I did this morning. Now I snicker to myself when I fix them and feel a strange burden to keep buying them since I made them an official part of my blog title. I suppose I could rotate the breakfast food from [...]
