John McIntyreI took Gabby, our Yellow Lab out on the jonboat this afternoon. Wow, she loved it. She jumped in and out every time I let her, and when I didn’t. . The craziest part was her ten valiant attempts to retrieve a crab pot buoy in about 5′ of water 100′ off an island. The [...]

We are less than 3 weeks away from two of the biggest steps of faith ever in the life of River of Leland. Should all go well, we close on the future 12.5 acre home of River March 19! We still have some HUGE hurdles to cross as we prepare for that day. As if [...]
February and March are tough months in our home. Especially leap years. You see 16 years ago on the 29th of February, our first kiddo was born. Mattie Grace would be begging for her license this week! Imagine that!? Just a few years later, our little guy, Noah Dylan was born. They’d both be teens [...]
Interesting turn of events yesterday. I’ve called Time Warner and asked for customer retention several times over the past few years. I have always heard they would work hard to keep me as a customer. However, this time I tried a different approach. Since we were already riding a reduced rate – $125 package for [...]

We’ve just finished our Thrive Series at River, so Kim and I have been looking around for ways to save money. There are of course the obvious things we can’t seem to shake: house payment, auto loan (only one of those left though), power bill, water bill, insurance… But as we were looking through our [...]
When we kicked off our fast three weeks ago with the Thrive series, I knew we were seeking clarity. Clarity of vision. Clarity of purpose. I wanted my family to Thrive. Thrive in our relationship with Christ, thrive in our marriage. As a church we were seeking clear direction, unity in direction and objective. We [...]
Two weeks ago we built a wheel chair ramp for a senior adult couple near Carolina Beach. Such a sweet lady. Her husband was really wanting to make it home from rehabilitation, but couldn’t until he had a ramp. We knocked that out for them one Thursday evening. Today, as I was walking through Wallyworld, [...]

I’ve just topped off a great day with the most amazing smoothie! Strawberries, Peaches, Banana, Acai juice, Almond Milk and, wait for it…Peanut butter! Wow! You have got to try it! My smoothie was almost as good as my weekend which overflowed into this evening. Not only did we try out a new setup at [...]
Saturday morning, Day 6. We saw War Horse yesterday. Kind of funny. I loved it. Kim left mad at it. We had a little kiddo in our lives for a few years who would always say she was, “maayad”. For some reason i could just hear Kim balling her fists up and telling the world [...]
Let’s be honest, there’s not much like a juicy steak or a thick hamburger topped with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mayonnaise! As we finished taking down a wheelchair ramp last night, someone in the neighborhood had a grill fired up. Wow! That smell…yup. Nothing like it! So I spent today pondering what might take the [...]
