Grandma Kathy Holding IslaI love my mother-in-law. She is such a wonderful, loving, and kind woman. She decided on a whim to call me up and offer to come watch the girls so Kesha and I can go on a date. How awesome is that?

Thanks Kathy!

The Daily Burn

01/07/2010

I know it is very cliche to say that 2010 will be the year that I get healthy; but I must say that the new year has started off well in the health department. I found a website called The Daily Burn that helps to track food, body weight, and workouts. It is super easy to use, and best of all it is FREE!

I already have about 10 friends signed up. We are connected to each other as “Motivators”. You can choose to share your nutrition, workouts, journal entries, and leave little messages for each other. It’s kind of like a social network built around a fitness and nutrition tool.

I have tried many similar tools out there, but the Daily Burn is by far the best I have come across yet.

Books to Read in 2010

01/02/2010

I have been reading about 2 books per month during the last half of 2010. Well…to be completely honest, I have been LISTENING to about 2 books per month. I have an account with Audible.com and buy audio-books to listen during my commute. Here are a few that are on my reading list for 2010:

Any others that you would recommend? I would love to add a few more to my list.

Peace

12/14/2009

My dad was known for his peace sign. He was a bit of a hippie. His greeting was not a wave, but his two fingers in the air. Peace.

John Fehlen spoke on peace yesterday at church. I was convicted a few things in my life. I know I can be contentious at times and not always easy to get along with. I can be sarcastic, rude, and even a bit of an A. But that is not the person I desire to be. And I know that is not honorable to God.

Today in my reading I came across a great verse in Galatians:

“Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” – Galatians 5:26

I think of my Dad as my greatest role model. In his later years he was a man of incredible peace. He was also generous, kind, loving, and compassionate. He didn’t think of himself first. I don’t think he had a single enemy in the world. Even people who had done him wrong in the past, he forgave.

He had a peace that surpasses understanding. He had the peace of God.

I want to live like that.

Thanksgiving at The Thomas’

11/27/2009

Yesterday we had a great Thanksgiving at our house. At one time we had 16 people running around our place. It was awesome! There would be NO WAY for us to pull that off at our old house. I am so thankful we have a place big enough to entertain. Here are a few snaps from the day:

Bootcamp in May

11/17/2009

So since my last post about wanting some more adventure, I have decided to take a trip to Denver, CO in May for a church planting conference. I am really excited about it. I am going with at least 1 friend, and hopefully we can convince a third to join us.

I am really craving this trip and I look forward to some real man time on the 44 hours we will be driving.

My sister also called me and wants to go skydiving with me. That will be a blast if it ever happens. I am scared spitless of heights, so this would really stretch me. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
