So today is the last day of my 40 day fast. I am getting ready to go to Waffle House at midnight to break my fast in about 3 hours and it’s going to be incredible! Though I probably won’t be able to eat much, that’s okay. And no, I have never done a 40 [...]

Bo, No matter what you go through, I’m right here for you. I got your back. You love me and my Son which means I love you more than your tiny, little brain can understand. Keep your eyes on me and don’t worry about all the other crap going on around you. People have tried [...]
Had this thought the other day: Is God simply a convenience to you? Do you live for Him all the time or only when “it counts” or when others are looking? We can all fall into the mindset that God is our safety net so that if we fall He is there to catch us. [...]
“Now’s not a good time”
Posted: 18th January 2010 by Bo in PersonalTags: dating, excuses, females, indifference
This is the excuse we use all the time to justify about anything. Think about it, we can almost justify not doing anything by uttering these words. Let me throw out some examples that we use this phrase – I’m not gonna invite my lost friend to church; now’s not a good time. I’m not [...]
Vacation, youth, and some other thoughts
Posted: 10th September 2009 by Bo in Jesus Stuff, Leadership, PersonalI just got back from vacation and it was great. I went home to Georgia for about a week and I had some fun and got to relax a lot (which I needed severely). I also got to see some of my family that I haven’t seen in about 9 months or so. I got [...]
I can’t even begin to describe how bad I need a vacation. I haven’t had any true, time off from work in about 9 months. I am way past due! I have been working like crazy, been involved like crazy with church, and pretty much just feel like I’ve been slammed with life. I need [...]
[begin rant] Tonight I went to go workout. The place that I usually go to work out is closed for maintenance all week, but they are so cool that they offer us a different place to workout for free during the construction week. Needless to say, I really like the place I work out. I [...]
First off, this is something that I struggle with, just so that can be understood up front. Sometimes, personal evangelism scares the crap out of me. And by personal evangelism, I mean sharing your faith and Jesus with others. I don’t want to be seen as one of those crazy idiots that doesn’t care about [...]
Well, I am back home after the missions trip to Panama. I only have one word to describe what I experienced: incredible. Everything that I experienced was simply incredible. I will be adding my pictures from Panama to the photos page here on my blog very soon. I have bug bites all over me, my [...]
I am three days into my fast and I have three days left with this opportunity to prepare for my missions trip to Panama. I am so pumped to go on my trip that it’s all I’ve been thinking about all week. My mind couldn’t be further from work during the day. Oh well, I’m [...]
