Over the last few days I've met someone new in the blogosphere. I didn't really know his name until Mandy Thompson (Just A Girl) introduced me to him. I had been visiting sites from my google reader like I normally do, leaving a witty comment here and there. Much to my chagrin I realized that after I submitted my ever so clever comments they weren't showing up. To add insult to injury, I couldn't even get my comments on my own blog to ... Read More

Our mile pace is getting a little quicker each run so that's nice. Bad: Really sore. ... Read More

We had one of our best days yesterday. I really enjoyed our time of musical worship yesterday. The team was on, the setlist was perfect, and people really connected with God and with what we were doing. 1) You Are Good (Israel Hougthon) Key of E: An old favorite. I had told the team during our midweek rehearsal that we might be shelving this song as we add 2 new songs the nest 2 months. We typically rotate a new one in and ... Read More
