I really am at a loss of what to say tonight. I'm not necessarily feeling or thinking anything. Just sitting here feeling as if I need to blog something. I'm just going to write.
I really like the jingle for KFC...hate the chicken, LOVE the jingle. "g-double-o-d good"....genius.
I would really like for this weight loss thing to hurry up and happen. I realize I didn't gain the weight over night, so the loss of is isn't going to occur that way either. It's just that I feel like I've hit a wall. a really hard and unapologetically unable to move wall. I'm sure if I continue working out the way I do, it will happen. Just going to take some time. I would like to think Chris James for continuing to inspire me and push me to keep up the good fight. I appreciate him a lot.
I'm watching Mrs. Doubtfire. Which in and of itself isn't really blog-worthy statement except that I'm watching it on AMC. I don't know, just doesn't seem like it should be on that channel yet. Maybe I'm just getting old.
I really wish television as a whole would show more "King of the Hill" reruns. That would be great.
Alright, well that's all I got. Later.
Prayers welcomed.

A Daunting 3000 Photo Exploration
Yesterday was a pretty good day for the most part.
It began with me taking nearly 3000 photos from the past year from our church for the purpose of a 2010 retrospective video for a fellowship at my church Saturday night. (www.authenticlifefellowship.org)
-It's going to be a daunting and tedious task to complete the video, but it WILL get done. haha
-Yesterday my little brother Austin got his driver's license. Very proud of him.
-Went and worked out around 11am. Not a bad workout. Just kind of the normal routine.
-Went back home and dove back into the video creation process.
I was approached yesterday by a guy I went to college with about a possible business venture of starting up a publication. He asked me to come on as the designer of said magazine and to say I was excited would be like saying Roosevelt was just "excited" to bomb the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. It has been my dream to do work in magazine design and this seems like it could be a pretty cool adventure. This friend is one that I respect and would love to work with on a professional level.
Then I went to church, and it was a recharge like it normally is. Jimmy's (pastor) message was about Bathsheba and King David's lover's rendezvous that ended with an illegitimate child and the death of her husband at the hands of David. The discussion was to kind of go in between the lines of the well-known story and look more at the side of Bathsheba. It was interesting.
After church I went and worked out again. I'm telling you, this whole working out thing is making a difference. At least that's what people say. I agree with them for the most part, but it's a slow process and I knew it would be, but it's one thing to know something and another to be able to deal with it and accept it. But isn't that the case with so much in life?
I found a band called, "The Afters". apparently in the world of Christian music, they are pretty well-known and I had been behind the curve, but I like them all-the-same. They have a particular song called "I am Yours". Very good song.
Most of the songs are about the after process of coming to the Lord, which makes sense with their moniker being "The Afters". While listening to the tracks I was reminded of a certain someone who has recently come to the realization that they need God in their life and chose to let God love them and work in their life. Big fan of this person. I'm humbled that they would come to me, but honored that God would allow me to be there for them.
Alright, enough writing now on to work on this video. Wish me luck.

How do you value your life?
So when you go about how to value your life, what do you think of? I understand that most of the time we look at things such as wealth, relationships, fame, etc. But what I'm talking about is looking at your life in a way that you may never have.
Who looks up to you? Who's life do you impact? What are you doing to make your life more Godlike and make a bigger impact on others lives for the better? These are the questions I implore you to turn on yourself like a magnifying glass.
I am blessed beyond any form of belief to be living the life I am. to see where I have come from to see where I am now. I am not where I ultimately want to be, but with time, I know that God will lead me there.
I am pleased to be able to consider myself a tool for the Lord. I have said it before, and I mean it now as much as ever, I am humbled to believe that there are people who look up to me and watch me and how I live my life. Absolutely humbling.
I am not writing this so that I can boast on myself and make you think better, but rather to thank those who I look up to. Because if it had not been for those people, I would not be the kind of person I am today. It is a crazy thing to think that I am making a difference in another life. I just pray that my life always represent God and be a life worthy of someone to follow because of my desire to follow Christ.
So I close thanking God for being my everything and those who I choose to look up to and model my life after. And I plead to those who look up to me, let me know if my life ever becomes a hindrance to your walk with Christ.
Prayers welcomed.
