So many cool things are happening at Brookwood this year in Children’s ministry.

Imagine watching a Blue Ray HD night at the movies… sounds cool huh? Now imagine that on a 40ftx20ft screen! Just sick!
Also planning alot of connection events so you can get your kids connected to others around them and with their small group [...]

Wednesday Wisdom pt. 2

I suprisingly got a few hits off of Wednesday Wisdom two weeks ago when it debuted. I was suprised. Maybe people didn’t see that I was only 22 years old or maybe they didn’t realize I grew up in Drummonds, TN. Google it I dare you.
Anyway today I would like to start a discussion on [...]

Wow good week thus far

Football, books, and a Pastor’s Perks card from Family Christian Stores really has made for an incredible week thus far.

Dancing is so incredibly fun regardless of if you can do it or not.
Children bring joy to your heart like [...]

The Olympics via Kristen Thompson

Here are a few Kristen gems from the Olympics:

is 50m pool like the 50 yard line?
Pole Vault is like limbo excepts backwards!
She is running funny, they are all running funny, maybe its because they are running with poles.

One thing is for sure. My wife is incredibly funny and she keeps me more and more interested [...]
