We live in Birmingham, Alabama with our 4 amazing kids and a tiny puff of fur named Toto. We were married for 11 years, divorced for 6 years, and were re-married in October of 2008! We have a passion to minister to other couples and share from our story that God makes beautiful things out of broken people. With a little help from our friends, we are learning to waltz authentically through the remainder of our story.

Surprise Within the Surprise

Last Friday night, I thought Melody and I were having dinner with some dear friends of ours at another friend’s restaurant. I was a bit frustrated that we were walking in a few minutes late because I had suggested to Melody that we get there about an hour early just to hang out together and [...]

Gospel Math: Jesus + Nothing = Everything

(I apologize for this video being a bit too big for this space, but after 45 minutes of trying to figure it out, I decided to concede defeat.)
