Over the last several weeks I have been listening to different teachers from around the U.S. who speak and preach in churches. I usually listen while I am exercising, which happens to be walking. Some of these people you will recognize and others may be new to you. I agree with some of what they say and I also disagree with some of what the say, but I learn much in the process and then must formulate what I believe. I am indebted to some of these guys. Throughout the years their influence on my teaching and life have made me who I am. Here is a sample of who I have been listening to over the last several weeks.
John Piper
RC Sproul
Mark Driscoll
Matt Chandler
Erwin McManus
Rob Bell

Why do you think God put you on the Earth? Besides to bring glory to Him, what specifically do you think God has given you to do? Some people might call it their purpose, some might say their calling, others might say it is the thing they were created to do in life. What do you think God has planned for you?

Well, I am sitting at Fido’s in Nashville having a great cup of coffee and trying ot catch up on a few things. Thought I would catch you up on a funny movie my family has been laughing at for the past few weeks. The movie stars Jack Black, it is called Nacho Libre. I have laughed my head off at the stupid humor. It is fron the creators of Napolean Dynamite. If you liked Napoleon, you should appreciate Nacho. There are some funny lines that we repeat around our house that are quickly becoming inside jokes for us. What have you been watching as far as movies go?

I have loaded some new photos. You can click on the link in the side bar and see them. I have a few from the staff Christmas Party and some of my sister’s girls. All the ones of the girls were taken by my daughter, she got a digital camera for Christmas. She has a great eye for shots. Hopefully I can add some more later.

Wow, it has been over a month. I read about a couple of folks who went on a “blog fast”, they quit posting for a month to relax and gather their thoughts. Well, I am going to claim that I have been on a “blog fast” also. I didn’t plan mine though, it just happened. The holidays were crazy and I was too tired or busy to post anything.
I am going to try and post something new a few times a week to keep up to date on life. Sorry for the long absence.
During this period of break I discovered a book that I have really enjoyed called, You On A Diet. The author is Dr. Oz, he is one of Oprah’s guru guys she has on her show quite often. It is very similar in info to The Maker’s Diet book and other healthy eating books. I have really enjoyed the biology and humor that is employed to keep my attention and teach me how my body works. I am doing pretty well at following the advice. Have you heard of this book? What do you think of the plan?

I have so much to be thankful for in my life. There are too many blessings to name here in this short space. I asked the Lord this morning to remind me of things in my life that I have to be thankful for that I usually do not thank Him for each week. On this day of remembereace, what are the little things you remeber to give thanks for but are glad they are a part of your life?
Tell your family how thankful you are for them, be specific.

Do you have a “big deal” going on in your life right now?
I have known people that seem to go from “big deal” to “big deal”. There seems to be something going on in their life all the time. I’m not talking about that next big business deal, but that thing in your life that seems to be causing conflict. The conflict may be between people or it may be internal. What seems to be the thing that is dragging you down right now? As trite as this may sound it is the best I can give you, turn your “deal” over to the Lord and let Him tackle it for awhile. It may not go away right then, but a fresh perspective on it from His angle will help you greatly. I know it helps me when I am fighting my “big deal”.

Do you ever get tired? I have been worn out for the past several weeks and I really do not know why. It could be that I am out of shape and in need of a new workout routine and added discipline. How have you been feeling lately?
