A list …
Saw this on my friends Leslie and Fran’s blogs … thought that it could be fun. You copy and paste the list on your blog, and then bold the things that you have done. I made the items red and then commented on some of them. 1. Started your own blog – you are … Continue reading
A letter to my son…
Son, Hi. I’m Eric. You’ll call me dad. It won’t be long now before you enter the world … and change my life forever. I couldn’t be more excited for your arrival!! Seriously, I sometimes am still floored that you are there … growing big and strong in your momma’s belly. I’m excited, but I … Continue reading
I feel exhausted…
I’m tired this morning. This week I’ve had the privilege of leading worship for a revival at a church in Poplar Bluff. I love leading worship, and music has always been one of my creative outlets. Initially when I was asked to participate in the revival I was all in , and excited. The closer … Continue reading
Makeover Monday …
So, Kelly and I have been beginning to think about the nursery for Baby Barb (we find out Monday if it’s little boy Barb or little girl Barb), and once we find out the baby’s gender, I’m sure nursery prep will kick into overdrive. The room we are going to use as the nursery is … Continue reading
I am …
I’m an insecure person, and compare myself to others. I’ll say things like “man, that guy has it all together – I’m not even close.” I’ve caused hurt feelings, deep scars and perhaps even someone’s distaste for Jesus. Anger can tend to overwhelm me “Seriously!!… Use your freakin turn signal … Go the speed limit … Continue reading

Why?
Why. Toddlers are notorious for asking the question “why?” Kids love asking questions and finding out answers to, well, just about everything. Ever known a kid like that? I’m 33 years old and I’m sure I’ve asked the question “why?” my fair share of times. Times when I have wondered WHY schedules were changed, something … Continue reading
Wednesday is for … my wife.

Such a patchwork of experiences and grace and mercy … and … Continue reading
Monday is for … Missions … and MLK Jr.
MLK Jr. Today is the last day of Winter Break for us here at SEMO. Students are back in town, traffic is picking back up, and classes resume in the morning. The “break” has been a great time of refreshing for me and I’m excited for all that the upcoming semester has for us. Thankful … Continue reading
Monday is for … music.
One of the pastors I used to serve with “categorized” his blog posts based on the day/theme … often it was “Monday is for … missions” or “Friday is for … friends”. I think this may give me a better springboard for some of my posts. Not that it will be the same every week, … Continue reading
Grace is everything and everything is grace...
