The past few days or week or so have been utterly chaotic to say the least. But I am enjoying the pressure, the hard work and the satisfaction of something new. I love those that have committed themselves to God and a peculiarplace. They showed up big time this weekend to help us clean the house in Dallas, GA and support us in our move. I REALLY LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Today is a major move day for us. We get all of the heavy stuff out of the apartment and off to the house. I still have to ask God from time to time, “are you sure?”.

So what major moves have you had to make recently that caused you to over extend, be anxious beyond repair, and even ask God, “are you sure?”

I want to first thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for subscribing, reading and stopping by my blog. I decided to blog not simply for me to voice my thoughts, but to create a dialogue, exchange ideas, get people to think about things, and most importantly to share the gospel with those who may have never heard it or who have issues with it.  I will blog more about that later! I simply want to reach out to you now an seriously invite you to leave your comments, thoughts, objections (i am not perfect nor do i believe i know it all) and well wishes here on the blog. At the end of every post is a link to leave a comment. Please do! I really want to know what you think, how you feel, and most importantly that you were here.

I have something come up that I think will be really cool, but If I don’t know you are here or have been here then how can I include you in the coolness…

Thanks!!!

WHEW!!!!

I cannot believe it has already been five weeks and I’m still as committed today as I was when I started.

Let me explain, five weeks ago, i made a commitment to myself, to my wife and to God to take six months and get in the best physical shape of my life. I began a workout I found on leehaney.com, 8-time Mr. Olympia and changed the way I thought about food, the foods I eat and how often I ate.

And today makes it five weeks. I feel good!!!! I lost a couple of inches, i am stronger than I have been in a very long time, and i am losing weight.

The most important and amazing thing to me is that my wife looked at me yesterday and told me she was proud of me. Proud because i have stuck with it. Proud because it such a short time, this has become by lifestyle.

Now I of course being the pastor i am i have to relate this to the Kingdom.

How often have we committed to the works of God, to studying more, to praying more only to fall short. But let’s say we want to save some money for an outfit, or a new game, or a new set of golf clubs it is amazing how we can sacrifice and scrimp  (is that even a word) to reach that goal.

What i am saying is really simple if it is something you really WANT, NOTHING seems to be able to stand in our way, NOTHING.

Jesus isn’t asking for a sacrifice, He is asking for a lifestyle change. A complete mental, physical, spiritual and emotional makeover. All those things that compromise ones lifestyle… changed, patterned after His Word.

So what about your lifestyle would you change? I suggest starting in an area that is easiest and develop confidence in that area and then move on from there.

The Kingdom is more than a place, a church or an experience it is a lifestyle. Are you ready?

I hope to not make this a habit, but i have been waiting for this album for some time now and it is finally here.

Hailing from Baytown, TX this group of youngsters impressed me immensely with their debut album filled with worship music that would make almost anyone pay attention. Nominated for a Grammy, Leeland hit the road to spread the Word. I am so excited to get this album and here that maturity, a new guitar player, and a couple of years have produced an AMAZING album!

Check it out, but it, and let me know what you think!!

You won’t be sorry!
