I have had a bad week.  I got really sick after this last weekend.  I am not sure if it was the flu or what.  I never got sick to my stomach but I did sleep for 18 hours the other day.  On top of that i had to take my car in becuase the drivers door wouldn’t open or [...]

This weekend we went to Dare 2 Share and had an amazing time.  Our students had a blast as we learned about becomin ‘invincible’ and putting on the armor of God.  They used a lot of the imagery from ‘Iron Man’ throughout the conference and it was awesome.  I think all of our students are taking the 5 Friend Challenge [...]

This has been a short week for me.  Instead of weighing in tomorrow I did it this morning since we are leaving for Dare 2 Share in a little over and hour and a half.  I tried hard to bump up my cardio again ths week and to eat a little more than last week.  I have still been having [...]

Back in November I wrote a post title ‘why i love a man named Greg.’  I wrote it becuase I was reminded (through reading one of Greg Stier’s blog posts) about why i admire him so much.  He is a man who is passionate about reaching and training students.  That is something that I can resonate with.  So I wrote [...]

This is my second post in a 2 part series on ‘God’s holy temple.’  You can read the first post here.  Now obviously these aren’t exhaustive in depth on the topic, but hopefully I have built enough of a ground work and have used Scripture correctly to relay – in a Biblical context – what constitutes as God’s holy temple. [...]

I have been thinking over how to write this post for a while now.  I think it is ironic how bent out of shape when something is broken or dirtied within the church and say, “It’s God’s holy temple.  We shouldn’t do that here.”   Yet I wonder that when they are out of the building living life on their own [...]

I am pretty excited about the progress I am making in my journey to lose some weight.  More people are starting to come up and tell me how they can see that I am losing weight.  Honestly that feels pretty good!  I’m doing this for ME though.  For years I have put others first and have not taken care of [...]

…that i was bron 33 years ago on.  So far my big day has been pretty good.  Last night we had our annual meeting where they surprised me and sung Happy Birthday to me as the meeting got going.  Then last night one of the high school girls baked a cake for me.  When I got out of the meeting [...]

Last year I wrote my ‘Ode to Valentines Day: Part 1′ and had some success with it.  So this year I have decided to write Part 2 in this saga.  It’s not that I am jaded – because I am not…not fully jaded anyway.  So here it is…my ‘Ode to Valentines Day: Part 2.’ Oh Valentines Day – you think [...]

I just got back from working out today. I thought for sure this would be a bad week since I have been fighting with shin splints and not able to do as much on the treadmill.  It wasn’t a great week but it wasn’t bad either.  I ran for 10 minutes yesterday and for 5 today.  It’s slow progress but [...]
