The “What the Hell Happened to Me in Seminary” series is a group of blog posts from myself and other seminarians across the country chronicling their experiences while in seminary.

“He that Finds a Wife” Recap
Tonight I attended the “He that Finds a Wife” Relationship Symposium hosted by Praise 102.5 and Jack A. Daniels, the author of I Need a Wife: Where Are the Real Women? The panel consisted of men who were “marriage minded”, and, according to radio host KD Bowe, were “single, successful, ready to commit and emotionally … Continue reading »
Berklee Bound!
I always get requests from people to guest blog or post certain topics or issues on my blog. 99 percent of the time, the answer is no. However, there’s always that one percent. I received a call from my friend Tar’Ra, who, usually opens up with giddy banter and giggle filled “hello’s”, got straight to … Continue reading »
100 Girls a Night
As a native Atlantan, I’ve spent many years hearing the quiet conversations about girls who get “turned out” in the most innocent of places: our skating rinks, our night clubs, even in our own homes. When I was in high school, I remember a few girls who were “stripping” for money after school; I’m not … Continue reading »

You were the last to establish yourself as the original 13 Colonies. You were also the last state to restore yourself back to the union in 1870. You’ve spent … Continue reading »

I want to tell you guys about my friend Henry. He’s no celebrity or well-to-do kind of guy but he has a great story to tell that I think will inspire you beyond words. This is, by all accounts, a true story. Like to hear it? Here it go.
Believe anything.
Yesterday, I stopped believing. For about 47 minutes, I gave up on having faith in God. I had grown tired of asking and believing for the simplest of things and not getting them. In the midst of all of this, Ashli, my 6-year-old, was frantically concerned about the impending tornadoes that were to hit our … Continue reading »
Capt’n Save A…
It’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog (I’ve been posting over at my Tumblr Site: The Dogwood Chronicles) and today’s post will have the same subject as the last post: T.I. Today, a young man climbed to the top of a building and threatened to take his life via a 22-story flight … Continue reading »
