Man-tooth Love

My extra sweet suitemate from college and lifelong pal, Matt Mantooth, started blogging.
Show him some love.

He’s the one with the pipe and glasses in this Limited Edition 2003 Holiday greeting card.

Elevation Worship CD

It’s here. The new worship record We Are Alive has arrived. So glad it’s all wrapped up shiny and nice-like. I’m so pumped about this record…it’s been one of the best things I’ve ever been a part of. Ryan did a sick, sick job on the design of it. Its look and feel expresses the life of our church and what God’s up to in this city so well. And I don’t think the songs are half bad either.

Grab it on Digstation now. It’ll be on Itunes in a few weeks.

A Chocolate Birthday

Today is Beth’s birthday.
That’s my beautiful wife.
She’s turning 26.
She’s the best human I know.
She’s the funniest woman I’ve ever met.
She’s told me that the best present I could ever give her would be to fill up a garden tub with chocolate so she could bathe in it.
She’s going to open a bakery one day called “Sweet and Nasty.”

We went out to eat Saturday night. Beth’s pick. Here’s the one thing that matters when she’s choosing any restaurant we go to: “What’s the desert menu look like?” The main course is nothing more than a cumbersome means to the ultimate end…chocolate. But not just any chocolate. She spent this past week scoping out who makes the best chocolate desert in Charlotte. It’s true, I came home everyday last week to a list of 5 new restaurants and their desert menus.

All in all, she ate her weight in multiple layered chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream. It was a grand night.

She’s the best. Incredible. Gorgeous. I’m blessed. Happy Birthday, Beth!!
