My important life moments with an Apple

When I was a kid my dad was a consultant for Apple. I’ve had an Apple computer for longer than I can remember.

Here I am in ‘85 or ‘86 cruising around on a Mac.

Here’s me on my first portable computer. Probably around ‘88 or ‘89. After my dad upgraded to a PowerBook (probably around ‘91) he gave me this computer. I used to take it to school with me as a 2nd grader. It actually had a handle on it and you could carry it like a brief case.

Here I am at the hospital for my brother’s birth. This was Feb ‘90—I’m looking good in all white. I’ll bet money that I was playing Civilization in this picture.

Fast forward some years—my beautiful Jen. We met in 2003 and got married in 2007. I love this woman.

In 2008 I was given my dream job to serve at Mars Hill Church with social media and web strategy. This was one of my first ever meetings with the creative team. Since Jesus saved me, I’ve been eager to tell people about him.

Above is the Resurgence volunteer team hard at work. Getting to serve with these folks has been a privilege. 

I can’t believe that I’ve been blessed to serve at Mars Hill. I’m thankful to have candid moments like these showing some of the things we’re working on with Pastor Mark to great men like CJ Mahaney, Brian Chappell, Danny Aiken, and others.

Here she is at our house last Christmas. In this picture she’s a couple months pregnant with our first baby.

Jen took a picture of me in the hospital as we waited for our first baby to be born. This is not a very flattering picture, but it’s funny to look at the similarity to the picture of me waiting for my little bro to be born.

Here we are in the hospital with our brand new baby Violet. Jen is so excited she’s texting every one she knows pictures of her.

Here’s baby Violet on mommy’s lap. I think she’s the cutest ever… you can read about Violet here.

I’m thankful for the tools that Steve Jobs made. I’m drafting a post with some deeper thoughts that should be on the Resurgence soon.
