Checked in and ready to go! This past weekend I was able to accomplish a goal that even a year ago seemed impossible. Last April, I weighed in at the doctors office at a hefty 235 lbs. Being 5'10", there wasn't anywhere else to hide the extra weight. I committed then to make some lifestyle changes. First, was to change … Continue reading My First Triathlon Sprint

Paul – a speech
As I begin to look into the life of Paul, I'm struck by how much suffering Paul had to endure in proclaiming the gospel of Christ. I'll cover more of that as we go but for today I want to cover the speech that many consider his most important or famous, which is found in … Continue reading Paul – a speech
The Gospel, Paul and Me – prequel
In 2018, beginning in April, I begin documenting my physical transformation through blog posts and then mostly just to Instagram. I called the journey - #chasing25. I will continue capturing the journey via IG but want to focus my writing in 2019 on a spiritual journey I'm calling The Gospel, Paul and Me. Over the … Continue reading The Gospel, Paul and Me – prequel
Abide in Me
I mentioned a couple a weeks ago that as I continue on this journey of #chasing25 that I would also be sharing snippets into my spiritual discoveries as well as chronicling my physical pursuits. I actually wasn't planning on sharing one this early but yesterday I heard a sermon that I haven't been able to … Continue reading Abide in Me
40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished
picture from thefilmspectrum.com Day 1 - finished thoughts. I had a friend of mine comment yesterday with two, very insightful thoughts on truly following wherever Jesus may lead us. The first was the idea that we tend to limit God because we are unwilling to take risks, to dream big or maybe it's because we've never … Continue reading 40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished
40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1
I am doing a 40 day devotional series with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I thought as I do so, I would take the opportunity to journal as I travel through this 40 day journey. This is primarily for me, but hopefully, there will be something that others can learn as they follow along. You can create your … Continue reading 40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1
A Story to Share
It's been six months since I have written anything. Some of that's due to writer's block which I get on occasion and some of it's because life simply happens to steal all of your time. Honestly though, the greater hindrance for me has been related to two themes. The first being that I have some … Continue reading A Story to Share
Life Lesson Series – Choose to Love
I wonder how many people woke up this morning and decided that today would be a day to hate other people. To purposefully seek out opportunities where they might have the opportunity to hurt others; either by word or action. My hope would be that no one would intentionally start their day in this manner … Continue reading Life Lesson Series – Choose to Love
Your Love
I wrote the following a week ago. I had read a passage of scripture from Ephesians 2:19-22 and was overwhelmed by the promise found in verse 22. That within each of us who believe in Christ, He is within us. May we always remember that!! YOUR LOVE Your love, your grace, your mercy for me, … Continue reading Your Love
Life Lesson 2 – Serving continued
I ended the last post saying that Love was another component to serving others. I have not always had a desire to serve others. Actually, for most of my life, my desire was to see how I could get others to serve me. Ok, that was a little sobering to actually type out but being … Continue reading Life Lesson 2 – Serving continued
