I Forgot

November 28th, 2006. The day that changed my life. I walked into a room and was handed a baby that knew nothing of me. I would…

I have been writing on this blog since the summer of '05. Most of it is useless in the development of your cognitive skills. There are…

Here's the deal. I hate shirts that suck. I hate lots of things that suck. But behind this banner you will find nothing that sucks. Ragamuffin…

It’s gone.
All memories of ever not knowing him.
Of ever not having him the first 8 months of his life.
He is all me now.
He is my panamexirean gangsta of love.
I forget sometimes that you guys gave generously to his adoption.

Your own money.
Thanks for helping me bring him home.
Los

Was this taken recently? If so, it’s great that you wear your Merry Christmas stocking cap year round. Why save it for one month of the year?

Hey man, I didn’t give money, but this is to let you know that I’d have given if I knew you then. I first saw Losiah ‘live’ yesterday and I must say that he is adorable! You have a great family!

My family adopted a girl from Korea over 8 years ago. She was 1 year old on the official day. Man kids grow up fast. Now she’s all country. Southern accent, cowgirl boots and hat, and even pink chaps. And her favorite thing to do is ride her horse. Gotta love it!

This is awesome, Los! We’re just starting the process of adopting our next son from Ethiopia. This post brought tears to my eyes as I think about my new little guy becoming more like me… I can’t wait. We share in your joy! And now anticipate ours even that much more! Thanks, Los!

This is sooo cool. Like Adam said above, thanks for loving your kids. Being a dad (parent) can be seriously hard work, but it is the most rewarding thing I can imagine. That you adopted that little man is such a blessing to him and to you all.

Dontcha’ just love that…we have also forgotten life before we adopted our now 8 year old son.
Losiah is one tremendously blessed boy!!!
Can’t wait to be on the journey with you when you add number 4 to the family.

Hi! What an amazing story! I just watched the video of the adoption of your son and it made me cry tears of joy My husband and I feel called to adopt our second child, but are learning to rely on God to provide the financial means. My husband is the music director of Crosspoint Community Church in Nashville and I think he follows you on twitter because I am pretty sure I saw one of your posts that said you are going to go pee?!?! His name is Jarrod Morris…anyway…we would appreciate any suggestions on how to raise the money needed to adopt!

I will never forget you and Heather leaving to go pick Los up.
And thankfully A)you flew Korea Air so you had wifi, and B) You’re addicted to blogging… so we got to feel as much a part of it as you could have possibly allowed us to be.

Miss you guys.

:: This whole Ragamuffin thing is simple. I'm just a screwed up man, in need of adoption, trying to be real. I was poured into, mentored, taught, and sometimes beat into authenticity by my family at Sandals Church. They created this beautiful mess of me and I'm forever grateful.
:: Now in the ATL with my hot wife and kids, I get to create relevant & engaging worship experiences every week. I am being shaped by Jeff Henderson and Andy Stanley at Buckhead Church. From creative sermon planning, to off the hook music experiences. This place is stretching me to my limits and I love it.
:: My life goal is to inspire a movement of authenticity among all generations of Christians that morphs the face of the evangelical church into a place of being real with yourself, others, and God.
