A good friend called me Monday to talk about the Project Kids Space offering. He and his wife (and now kids) have been with us since almost day 1. In fact, I met him on the basketball court 1 year before we moved to Grayson. To say that he is committed to Graystone is a [...]

Yesterday, most of my prayer time, think time, and Scripture meditation was focused on what God would have our family give to Project Kids Space. When Jennifer came in my office in the late afternoon, I ask her, “How much money do we have in our savings account?” This question usually freaks Jennifer out, but [...]

Julia is at Disney World for Fall Break. When is my Fall Break? How can I go to Florida for a week for FREE? Tennis updates: Jennifer has decided to be a beast at the net. Jessie can now hit a one-handed forehand. I have a huge bruise on my thigh from getting tagged with [...]

How to keep it all together
Posted in Bible, Discipleship/Spiritual Growth, Family, God, Graystone Church on August 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
With the beginning of a new school year and our 3 kids in 3 different schools across Snellville, Grayson and Loganville plus we are relaunching Graystone Church (I.e. a lot more work goes into a rocket launch than when it is simply orbiting), we are having a hard time keeping it all together. In my [...]

After I dropped Julia off at school this morning, I came back to my basement office. Jessie found me, sat in my lap and we watched this video together. When it was over, she said, “That’s a good song.” You will probably hear this one at Graystone sometime soon. Enjoy.

Let me start off by saying that Sam Jones brought his A game on Sunday. The kid was slinging the sticks. I love Brody’s energy. And how about Kelci’s pipes? Those are 3 amazingly talented teenagers! It is AWESOME to see them using their God-given abilties to serve HIM. Hopefully, they can continue to be [...]
Howes Family Goes Cliff Jumping

Here are pics of the Howes family (minus Jessie) jumping from the 30 foot cliff at Chimney Rock on Lake Martin. There were a couple of college age dudes jumping from the 60 foot cliff (top right of 1st pic). If truth be told, 30 feet was plenty high for me.
