My God, My Savior, Jesus the Christ

I am a believer in Jesus the Christ of Nazareth.  He is the only begotten son of the one true God and is God in the flesh. I write this with deep conviction.  I cannot deny the lover of my soul, the one who has given me hope, power, and joy.
I need him.  I cannot [...]

Community Church’s VBS

This week I was the story teller for the Vacation Bible School (VBS) at church.  We were talking about Jesus giving us power to be brave, thankful, helpful, to live forever, and to tell others about God.  It was a good week.  I am glad to have done it.  I am also glad to be [...]

Jumping Ahead

Hey there all, well 4am rolled around (it does that everyday, didn’t you know) and I got my booty out of bed to go exercise/train.  As I had mentioned earlier my wife had suggested the Eagle Lake 5K walk/run.  So I was off to C25K.com to get a training schedule.  Since I know that I [...]

5K AND Weight Training

Well faithful readers, I am so very glad (almost giddy) to report that I was wrong in my previous post.  After reviewing the Couch to 5K plan over at Cool Runnings, I can do both.  My thought that I needed to run every day was error.  The plan is for three workouts every other day.  [...]

5K Training or Weight Training? (aka, Cardio vs. Resistance)

The other day the wife mentioned that there is going to be a 5K walk/run at Eagle Lake next month.  She threw out the idea, you can run/walk it and the kids & I will walk it, you can come back and join us after you are done.  Sounds good. 
But I have a routine.  MWFS [...]

Monday Measurment

Hey all, well it was a busy week/weekend. Two birthdays, a holiday, in-laws coming, cleaning, etc… So I ate like crap and didn’t get to workout as I should have. I did fit in a 5 mile ride with a friend and it was awesome!  So now that I have set it all up….
The measurements:
Chest: 55 [...]

Birthdays and Healthy Lifestyle Choices

This week is a hard week.  We have two birthdays and a holiday.  Can you say “healthy eating train wreck?” Can you say, “workout? what workout?”
Yesterday was Ben’s B-Day.  I want to thank the spousinator for letting me take a quick ride yesterday.  I need to wake up and rev up the metabolism.  The wife [...]

The Horrible, Ugly Truth (Monday Measurements)

AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!  Being fat sucks.  I mean it really really sucks.  All these bad habits learned over 36 years, 9 months, and some odd days.  The sweet tooth, the yearning for cheesy goodness, the intricate combination of stuff to make great tastes.  Well I am done with it… I think. 
A month ago I was turned down [...]

French Bulldogs and Children

I am sitting here on this cold and windy Monday morning listening to the grunts of two pampered French Bulldogs and the squeals of two delighted children.  My wife consented to watching the two bulldogs of a coworker. This is the same coworker who has the Mastiff Nuku who we watched in the spring.
Last night our [...]

Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe What?!

The shift in my employment from testing coordinator to assessment teacher has brought a new coworker.  He’s a nice guy. He’s into quixtar (An Amway related internet based wealth building system). He is a member of the jehovah’s witness church/group/cult….
So we are talking the other day.  At certain points of our conversation we make clarification.  [...]
