Hey Friends, In the midst of all of the shopping drama and chaos (people being stampeded to death @ Wal-Mart…really), would you consider purchasing a toy (or 10) for a beautiful child in need @ 500toys.org. We've raised funds for 500 uniforms and over 200 toys and need YOUR help to be able to provide [...]

I’m not going to argue here that Jack Bauer is Jesus – although the show has made him out to be more of a Christ figure this season than any other.  I love Jack. My wife loves Jack too.  We’ve seen every hour of every season. But I also love Jason Bourne. Nearly 10 years [...]

I'm so thankful (and proud) to be a regular guest on NPR.  It helps to keep me informed of all of the latest current affairs and allows me to be an important voice at the table.  Check me and the crew out today as we talk about Al Qaida, the Georgia Senate runoff race, and [...]

Have you seen our new website – 500toys.org – we need YOUR help! My wife is about 7 months pregnant and got sick as a dog last night! She hasn't really been this sick since the summer.  She is still really ill and we're hoping it's not a new phase in the pregnancy, but something [...]

Over the past 3 weeks, we have been busting our butts and looking under every rock for donors interested in giving to our inner city Christmas initiative @ 500uniforms.org.  As of today we've raised $13,458 – which is 67% of what we need to purchase every child at Bethune Elementary School a brand new uniform [...]

We did it!!!! Thank you!!! In less than 3 weeks, women, men, families, churches, and businesses from all around the country (and the world) came together and purchased every single student of Bethune Elementary School a brand new school uniform @ 500uniforms.org!  YOU ARE THE BOMB! 500 uniforms down…about 450 toys to go!

Here is a comical, futile attempt I made trying to ask you for help with our inner city Christmas initiative, 500uniforms.org right before bath time with my little man EZ!

Believe it or not, I don't say much of what comes through my mind.  I have a pretty good filter, but every now and then, something sneaks through and gets me in trouble.  Yesterday, after we crossed the $10,000 mark (about halfway) for our inner city Christmas initiative @ 500uniforms.org, I said this online "YEAH!!!! [...]

I am so doggone pumped about how our inner city Christmas project is moving along! When I pledged to donate brand school uniforms and toys to 500 students of Bethune Elementary school here in downtown Atlanta, I knew our likelihood of success was very small! So what?! If your plans don't require faith, why do [...]
