I (along with 30 other people) am taking a Greek class. Perhaps those of you who know me may be saying, “Again.” Yes! The course title is “Greek For Dummies.”
The New Testament was written in Koine Greek and learning the original language really adds a “livilness” to reading the New Testament. For example, tonight Brother Dave (teacher) drew [...]

“We Live More Deeply Than We Can Think”
Posted in The Christian Life, Uncategorized on February 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I am sure your days are as full as mine. Thursday is one of those “full” days for me. I leave the house fairly early, drive to Wake Forest, take care of the responsibilities I have as a student and sometime around 6 or 7 PM (depending on what is going on) I head home [...]
Valentine and Missions?

Here are the king and queen of Bethel Hill Baptist’s 2009 Valetine Dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are among the “bestest” (which is obviously why they were voted king and queen). We love you guys!
Thanks to all of you who made this dinner a very special evening. There are many people to thank and many [...]

Proverbs 11:16-17
“A gracious woman gets honor,
and violent men get riches.
A man who is kind benefits himself,
but a cruel man hurts himself.“
I love reading the Proverbs. Today I read Proverbs 11 because today is February 11. The above two verses really caught my attention this morning. I have seen these verses play out in real life – [...]
Mom’s Comment “on being intentional”
Posted in Uncategorized on February 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
After reading this comment from my mom, I thought I would post it (after getting her permission of course).
It is so funny to read your blog about being intentional. There are so many thoughts, memories, etc. that have flooded my mind lately–missed opportunites, different ways you are or can be intentional, things Chad [...]
On Being Intentional

Friday night, Kylie had a Valentine Ball and I was her escort. Most of the evening I was in the background simply observing.
Over the last few weeks the Lord has really been stirring within me. Specifically in the area of outreach. I have been thinking about three areas where I would like to be more [...]
The Dance!
Posted in Uncategorized on February 7, 2009 | 9 Comments »
I clearly remember bringing Kylie home from the hospital and carrying her in my left arm. I would hold her between my left hand and elbow. Last night, I danced with one of the most beautiful young ladies in the world. I can still hold her, but not like I use to.
As we danced, I [...]
Men’s Conference: Part 5

What happens when all the men leave? The family jumps in to help mom clean up (what else?). Then the family spends a brief moment in catching up and reflecting on the wonderful evening. (My family really does enjoy hosting all the men.)
There is usually some kind of “strongest brother” competition (I usually win). By the [...]
Men’s Conference: Part 4

(Continued from Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3):
The third highlight for me is dinner at Charlie and mom’s home. Four years ago, when 12 men went to Woodstock for the Men’s Conference someone asked, “Jason, how far away are we from where you grew up?” I told them I grew up only a few [...]
Men’s Conference: Part 3

The second highlight of the trip for me is fellowship with the men. My role on this trip is to keep it moving, provide some order, structure and run any errands I need to keep the trip smooth (much of my work is behind the scenes – and I enjoy that). The men make this fairly [...]
