It makes me laugh how God works. This morning I had one of the worst pain days in a long time. Tab started calling chiropractors in our insurance network to try and get me in so someone could relieve the pain in my hips. I got into a doctor and it ended up being the same one my brother goes to. Weird. He was an excellent man who seemed concerned and is actually writing papers on Fibro with other research doctors at Florida State. He worked on me for 1 1/2 hours and I feel so much better. It is weird how you become thankful to be able to walk without tearing up. Anyhow, small victory. My right calf today is winning when my left one was prevailing. (My left calf tattoo means “attacked” & right means “victory”.) The irony of it all.

I just let my oldest daughter (newly 3 year old Adison) watch the UFC videos. She immediately tried to tie my arms up and said, “Dad, I’m doing that weird stuff.” I’ve ruined my princess. Next is softball and monster truck rallies.

I am the Pastor of Experiences & Creative Architect @ GENESISCHURCH.TV in Tallahassee, Florida….check out the website genesischurch.tv…Genesis started in 2003 with 8 people and runs now over 1,200 in 2 experiences on a Sunday morning. I’ve been a student pastor for 5 years…just switched roles!
Like Tallahassee, but miss Cincinnati & NYC. Lived in New York City for 2 years and did Off Off Broadway shows, an Off Broadway Showcase, TV (Trackers – Oxygen Network) & 2 movies. God called me into full time ministry after surviving 9-11 in 2001. It has been an amazing ride!
I am happily married to my Jr. High/High School/College sweetheart…Tabitha (Cook) Hunter. Our 3-year old, Adison Elizabeth, is stinkin’ hillarious. Ella was born on December 17th and is now 3 months old…hard to believe. She’s beautiful like her sister and jabbers all the time. She is HUGE blessing in the middle of our struggle! God has been good to our family even in the face of adversity.
In this past year I have been diagnosed with 3 chronic diseases, but the most harsh one is fibromyalgia. It has destroyed “normal” life. I live in constant severe pain through my whole body and live on multiple meds just to make it through the day. Along with that comes constant fatigue, “brain fog” – meaning I can’t remember or speak clearly, and double vision. My wife has had a horrible pregnancy…threw up for all 9 months, then 2 months afterwards and then had emergency gallbladder surgery 2 weeks ago. Life has been a little unmanageable, yet we’ve survived with the help of my parents & in-laws and a lot of prayer. If I don’t post for a while, just realize it’s hard for me to take interest in things as usual. It is a struggle day to day just to live life. I appreciate your prayers and words of encouragement. Some of you friends have been amazingly supportive and kind. It amazes me those who were close remain distant and those who were not so close have drawn near. I love you all and miss you dearly. I will keep fighting everyday!
