Just a normal guy living in a crazy world. I've been married for five years to a beautiful girl named Jennifer. We live in the northwest corner of Georgia. I work for a lumber company and do all sorts of things for them. I graduated from Georgia Southern University in 2002 and also have a computer certificate in Web Design from Northwestern technical College. I love college football (War Eagle!!) and the Atlanta Braves. I also enjoy going to concerts and listening to music. Third Day is my favorite group. Want to know anything else? Just ask!
Twitter if you're a Christian Rockstar
I got to thinking this afternoon that there must be a ton of christian bands/artists that have started using twitter. So, just because I have tons of free time, I decided to put together a little list. I'm sure I am missing lots, but here is what I have found. If you have any more, let me know (just add a comment). Thanks.

My favorite iPhone apps
I have been wanting to do a post on my favorite iPhone apps for awhile now. Things were a tad bit busy, but have let up some.
For twitter, my favorite app has been Twittelator. I much prefer the interface compared to the other twitter apps. The location feature is also a neat plus. I do use Twinkle sometimes as well.
For sports I have a couple of favorites. The all around best sport app is Sportacular. It covers all the sports and allows you to set favorite teams. It also allows you to set up "fantasy" teams and to see stats based on how your particular player is doing. I also am a big fan of College FB. It has a neat interface for you to keep up with ongoing games.
i.TV is pretty cool. It gives you the updated television listings as well as movies showing in your area. It allows you to choose who your cable/satellite provider is, etc.
For music, Shazam is really cool. It has identified just about everything I have put it up against. I also really like Pandora.
For my blog feeds, I use NetNewsWire. It has worked fine.
For games, you need to try AdLibs. It's just like playing with Mad Libs back in the day. I also have Anaconda, iGolf, GL Golf, Labyrinth, iBowl, Tris, and Solitaire.
A few of my favorite wildcard apps: More Cowbell, ayePhone
A few location utilities: AroundMe, earthscape
For news and reading: Bible (from Lifechurch TV), Shakespeare and Stanza.
I also like a picture editing program called Face Melter and the Facebook app is pretty cool as well.
Urbanspoon would be ultra-cool if they would add Chattanooga to the list of cities. I am horribly indecisive when picking out restaurants.
Well, the above are some of my favorite iPhone apps. Let me hear some of your favorites.......

Is there a light at the end of a tunnel?
Things are starting to slow down for us. It appears that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Since the end of August, Jennifer and I have been gone nearly every weekend. Out of the last six weekends, we were only home for one. We have been to Orlando on vacation. We have been to south Alabama two times. We have been to Atlanta once. We have been to Coulmbus once. We have driven through Atlanta nine times. We have been to a wedding and we have been to two concerts. We have put over 4000 miles on the car in under two months. It has been a lot of fun though. This weekend, on Saturday, we are driving over to Huntsville, Alabama for a family get-together (for the Fall Birthdays). We are only going for the day. We will get to see Kristin, Josh and Samford Sims, and other family. If you happen to be one of our neighbors, please don't sue me; I promise to get the grass cut soon.

Comatose Comes Alive
Hello Friends. I found out yesterday that Jennifer and I will be in the upcoming Skillet DVD. They will be releasing it on October 21st. Back in May, the Comatose tour payed a visit to Chattanooga. At the show, we found out that they would be recording it for a DVD. Jennifer and I had front row seats. At some point last month, they started a pre-sale for the DVD. If you pre-ordered the DVD, they would send you a track from the recording. Yesterday, the video track came out. They released the first track (a song called Comatose). With about 48 seconds before the song is over, you can clearly see Jennifer and I both. Should be interesting once the entire DVD comes out. If you are Skillet fan, (and who isn't) you might want to check it out. The concert that night was incredible.
