As I’ve been reading through my Bible-in-a-year plan — which I’m keeping up with quite nicely, thank you – I came across this passage in Judges. I won’t spend too much time on the story, but Deborah was a prophetess whom God sent to Barak (not Obama). God had commanded Barak to take 10,000 men and [...]

As I think about my first series with our students at New Community, I keep thinking of the simple word comprised of three letters, new. Yes, we’re about to start something new, “a new era,” if you will. And of course it will take place at NEW Community, which didn’t even strike me until just [...]

Although I am not a country music fan, this couple and this wedding are ALL country! Tucked away in southern Kentucky was this sweet chapel, where these two were married. So I had to make an effort at putting their story to a country music song, and here’s how it turned out…

Just another clip from the Quinn wedding. This highlights the couple and their vows. There are some scenes that are repeated from the trailer, but just too good to leave out of a highlight! One of my favorite Springsteen songs, “Secret Garden.”

Sweetness. That’s all I can say! Fun couple with tons of moves on the dance floor — you’ll see it throughout this trailer! I’m excited to be leaving the wedding industry and moving back to my true passion, but this right here is what I will miss. A bride who is so in love with [...]

So I’ve been a little sporadic on here lately — but there’s so much to be done! We’re preparing for a March 11 move. That means a lot of video editing (me), packing (all Annette up to this point), wrapping up details, and planning our farewell tour of Ohio. We’ll be heading up to Columbus [...]

Carolina in my mind…for now

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] – Carolina in My Mind // James Taylor
In my mind I’m goin’ to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine
Can’t you just feel the moonshine
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Need I say more? ;)

God is amazing! The Tates are moving to NC!

At the beginning of November 2009, we made a huge decision for our family. We decided to step away from our wedding video business to pursue a calling. For most, I’m sure it seemed like a crazy decision. I won’t lie — there were days when we felt the same way! “What have we done?” [...]

quote // the assault on our heart

Leave a Comment

“It is simply diabolical, despicable, downright evil that the heart should be so misunderstood, maligned, feared, and dismissed. But there is our clue again. The war we are in would explain so great a loss. This is the last thing the Enemy wants you to know. His plan from the beginning was to assault the [...]

give until there’s nothing left

It’s been a while since I’ve heard this song by Relient K, but when it popped up on the iPod today, I immediately took notice. Not a lot of fancy words, but rather a simple, honest declaration to God. I know that for me, I feel like for the past few years, I haven’t given [...]
