Petty ’til I Puke

August 12, 2009 Deep thoughts from a Dumb guy

The air conditioner at my office was out of whack last week and it was hotter than the nether regions of the heavenly realms.  Ok, that may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever said but at the very least its better than saying: “H – E – double hockey sticks!”  Either way my office was [...]

Super Week

July 31, 2009 What's going on!

Just finished up Super Week at Pioneer Drive Baptist Church in Abilene, Texas.  Jeff Scott, Travis Craver, and their team of really cool interns put on an awesome event.  It was basically a youth revival wrapped up in a camp trapped in a Super Summer.  The students were divided into teams, did ridiculous cheers, played [...]

Images of India

July 29, 2009 Missions

I’m still trying to wrap my head around all that I saw and experienced in India.  It was such an amazing experience and I am so humbled to have had the opportunity to be a small part of what God is doing in such a dark place.  I’ve been home for a week and I’m [...]

Having Church at Harold’s Barbecue

July 28, 2009 Crazy stuff

I just had lunch at the “World Famous” Harold’s Barbecue in Abilene, Texas.  In the middle of lunch Harold came out of the kitchen and led the entire restaurant in the Amen Chorus.  It was absolutely hilarious and really awesome at the same time.  Check out the video. God Bless ya – Runks

1 little, 2 little, 3 billion Indians…

July 23, 2009 Missions

Actually it’s not 3 billion Indians, it’s 1.17 billion Indians, but who’s counting. You could stand pretty much anywhere in India, take a picture in any direction, and count 500 people.  The state of Uttar Pradesh (where we spent most of our time) is roughly the size of Michigan and has over 166 million people [...]

July 6, 2009 Missions

I’m going to INDIA tomorrow!!  INDIA – that’s on the other stinkin’ side of the dang world!  I know, I looked it up. I actually got out a globe and looked.  When we were kids and we tried to dig our way to China in the backyard, we were wrong. We weren’t digging to China, [...]

"Runks Summer 2k9 plan B"

July 1, 2009 Crazy stuff

This has been one of the most jacked up years ever!  My ministry schedule was basically empty for most of the Spring and I only had 2 camps booked for this summer – down from a normal 6 or 7.   For a long time I tried to blame this on “today’s wintry economic climate” [...]

I was blogging before blogging was cool….

June 30, 2009 Back in the Day

And then I just quit blogging….  I didn’t call it  a blog back then because  I’d never even heard of a blog.  I don’t know if anybody had.  I just called it my “Online Journal” and had no idea how far ahead of the curve I was.  I don’t know why I quit.  I just did. [...]
