My last couple of posts haven’t been the most uplifting, joy-inspiring posts. As I explained in those posts, life has hit my family hard and we are still in the middle of it. The events of the past few months have caused me to really examine what I believe about God and why I believe it. One thing it has really caused me to examine is how I verabilze those beliefs. After a conversation with a friend, my eyes were opened to some interesting things I say.

I’m Done With New Year’s Resolutions
2016 is here so it’s that time for everyone to start making all their resolutions. I’ve never really been one to do that but last year I decided to mix things up and come up with some. I was bound and determined to do some things and I failed miserably. I wasn’t even close. I made it until about April with most of them but then it was game over.

Panic at the Triathlon
This past weekend I competed in my first triathlon in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Never did I think I would say that. It was a sprint length triathlon, which equated to a 500m swim, a 12.5 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. I’ve spent the past few months training for it, and this past Saturday was the big day. I had never done anything like this. The longest race I had previously competed in was a five-mile run. [Read more…] about Panic at the Triathlon
