I have been sporadically working out, running, attempting to eat well over the last 10 years, that's probably what has prevented me from becoming the typical overweight preacher boy, yet I've never turned the corner to true health. Health that leads to freedom from the image I see in the mirror. Health that frees me to relate to everyone no matter their body shape, size, or lack thereof. I so want to be in tune with the Christ who lives in me, who lives with me, who lives all around me, so that I might embrace myself, my family, my world not based on terms relative to my judgements of them but an embrace that is based on the purpose of my being, based on why Jesus abides in my heart, why He died and now is yearning to be known through those of us who are His own. I want to be free, free to hear Him, free to act upon His words, free to be the me He created me to be. God has spoken to me and His words are, "Where are you?" In that little question I have found an invitation to come out of my little depressed creation into the openess of His world. An invitation to be restored to purpose and love and relationships like I've never known. I'm just sharing what's happening. Competively I want to win all your money. But in my heart something much grander is taking place. May we be blessed to listen for the God who still speaks in the breezes and raindrops of Spring.

This is the place to come see who's gaining ground by losing weight. With extra long workouts, and not a lot of sugar....the venting should be a kick. This meeting place proves strangers can be friends, friends can be opponents and losing can be winning!

Win all our money???? You gotta stop smokin' too, dude!
Philip and I began reading "The Shack" earlier this evening. I see exactly what you mean. I'll let you know where we are, and we'll dig a little...thanks for the word.
