NOTE: I’m making an effort to get JamSmooth.com back on track and having a least one or two (hopefully more) posts a week from now on. I got a extraordinary e-mail from a reader this week which gave me a new fire. I wrote about how great it is that I can watch TV whenever [...]

Waiting has been in a big part of my life for many years. I know it will continue to be as long as I’m here. There are so many things I’m waiting on: a wife, a job, the house to sell, a move, answers to so many prayers. I keep waiting and waiting. Most of [...]

I loved Kenya and I want to go back some day. Cambodia affected me in a much different way. The country reached down in my soul and stirred up a lot of questions and misgivings about America, or more specifically Atlanta. I just don’t want to be here. I don’t know where I want to [...]

Hey everybody. Hopefully you’re following me in Cambodia on Twitter and at our team blog. The links are in the post below. There is so much to process and think about already in the short time we’ve been here. I think it’s safe to say that everyone on this team is getting wrecked by these [...]

It’s about 16 hours until our plane takes off for Seoul, South Korea. It’s a 15 hour flight. We have a 2 hour lay over and then board a 5 and a half hour flight to Phnom Penh. Hopefully someone will be there to pick us up. I’m kidding, well sort of. From there we [...]

Admittedly I’m not well-versed in CCM (Contemporary Christian Music). I rejoined the church 3 years ago this month and my exposure has been limited to what is played at our church. I don’t know much about The News Boys, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Third Day or DC Talk, but they’ve got a ton of music out [...]

Hey everybody. I made this short video introducing our team. Isn’t the quality of the Flip Mino outstanding? You can tell I’ve been at Buckhead Church for a while because the video is influenced by their production style. I’m getting better but I’m happy with how it turned out. I’m so excited to be going [...]

What’s up world? I’m still here, in case you were wondering. I’ve become a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica, the one that just ended. I know I’m about 5 years behind on that one. I’m midway through season 3 and the series is totally addictive. The characters, special effects and plots are all remarkable. I [...]

Today marks 4 weeks unemployed. It hasn’t been bad at all. I’ve had lots of time to think and reflect. I haven’t worked out this much in years. Been hitting the gym 6, sometimes 7 times a week. Have watched lots of movies. Have watched little or no TV. I’ve shifted all my TV watching [...]

This week I sent support letters to many of you asking for your prayers and support for a trip I’m taking to Cambodia. I will be going with others from my church from May 7th to May 16th. I came across this video this morning. Please watch it. Know that if you decide to support [...]
