Zahra Baker Vigil

Me and my family went to the candlelight vigil for Zahra Baker on Tuesday which would have been Zahra's 11th birthday.
This is a very emotional time for us as my daughter Madison sat right next to her in school and ate lunch with her most everyday.
Here is a video clip from WBTV



Happy Birthday Zahra

Ten Years in a Day

For the last 10 years I have ignored the fact that I am getting older. I am the most experienced 27 year old on the planet. I would joke that I am only having anniversaries of my last birthday. But today I have decided that it's time to face the truth, I am getting older, and that time keeps on slipping into the future. Whether I celebrate it or not my time here on Earth is getting shorter. And there is nothing I can do to stop it.
But I can say this, the last 365 days have been the best of my life, only second to the next 365 days. Time is too short to pretend, to play "life", to not be who you really are. I know who I am and I am who I was created to be, I won't apologize for it, take it up with God if you don't like me. I've stopped running from who I am, and I will live out the rest of my life making full use of the gifts and talents that I have been given. To do any less is just spitting in the face of my creator.

My name is Ethan and I am 37 today.

Empty Seats

I am always watching videos.
Always watching what some of the best and the brightest are doing, so that I can learn something or just steal some great ideas that they stole from someone else.

At first I was drawn to this video for it's artistic quality.
But then the message in it was so incredible.
I love the attitude of always wanting empty seats. Our past history has taught us that we are only successful if the seats are always full. But if they are full then where are the ones you are trying to reach going to sit???
But for Pete Wilson and the Cross Point team it wasn't enough just to have empty seats. They realized that there are some people that will never sit in the seat you have open for them.
I am very excited about this movement in God's Church today.
It's time to GO where they are, to show them Love, and show them Hope, and to bring that empty seat with you.

Social Media Revolution

Whether you like or not....IT"S HERE
You can deny it and get left behind or embrace it and use it to influence this ever changing world that we live in.
Everyday people fight through life, searching for something real. What if you could help them but couldn't connect with them?
You can't reach someone if you can't speak their language.
My suggestion to you is to learn it....or become irrelevant.

Getting ready to say "I do"

In a little more than a week our good friends daughter is getting married. For the last couple of years we had the opportunity to watch this young couple grow closer together. And cry with excitement when Brad proposed to Ashley. We get to be a part of the exciting 1st chapter of their life together. And watch as they look each other in the eyes and promise to be there in until the end. I can hardly wait until next weekend, there is just something that I love about watching a two people committing their lives together. There is so much hope and faith that they will be one of the couples that beats the odds. Overcomes the statistics, and live together "until death do us part." On their wedding day...that special day... there is no doubt that this couple...will finish together.
To Brad & Ashley,
Here is to a long and happy marriage, living as one as long as you both shall live.
I love you guys

Man Crush


Face it at some point in the life of a man you have had a crush on another man. And before you get all bend out of shape I am not talking about a romantic crush. What I mean is they have certain qualities or characteristics that we admire about someone else. We wish we were looked like him, talked like him, where as smart as him. or in my case wished I had great hair like Edward Cullan. For me I have more than a follicle obsession with the 17 year old (and not counting) vampire from the Pacific northwest. I am fascinated by the superhuman love his has for Bella. This rivals the love affair of Romeo and Juliet. Except he is already dead and he is a blood sucking vampire....hey no one is perfect



95% of American woman are in love with Edward...

So why is it that a fictional teenage vampire knowd more about unconditional love than all of us guys put together?


Let me help you out here....Your wife or girlfriend doesn't want him, she wants YOU to look at her the way he looks at Bella. They want you to be their own personal Edward. Now I know that it sounds like giving in and letting them change us from who we are.....but really, if we gave them a taste of this, we might be surprised how things will change for the both of you....


So today I challenge you to be her Edward.
