Get Tough

Get Tough:
The Get Tough Men's Conference was Awesome! Bill McCartney gave a great challenge to the men and the response was incredible! I was totally blessed to speak to the men and share what I felt God has been saying to me about the role of a father. The biggest surprise was Gordon Banks. I had not heard of him before this event but WOW, what an exciting preacher! He had some incredible insight into the Lords Prayer and I know everyone in attendance was moved and transformed! He reminded me so much of a man I owe so much to, Johnathan Owens. He sounded so much like him and with the same energy that just moves your soul! What a treat! If you ever need an inspired word from an great man of God Gordon Banks is the MAN!

Moab:
What a great time I had with my great friend Don Odom. He always works so hard to make mountain biking fun. Moab is HARD! I can't wait to go back and settle the score with some of those trails that kicked my behind! I better train hard and get back there next spring.

187

Me in my 20's ,30's and now 40's (O.K. O.K., I haven't been in the skimp suit for awhile)!

I was looking at some pictures of me weighing 187. I was a few days from a contest and in great shape. At 255 right now I know I can loose plenty but to 187? Hmmm... I always used to go low carb and it always works but it's so short term and the rebound is fast. I think that cutting portion size is the way I can loose and keep the weight down. Strength Ministry is over for me and I want to be lean and healthy 4 life! I also want to be a biking machine and at 187 I should rock!

Monday

In less than two weeks I will speak at the "Get Tough" Men's conference with Bill McCartney. Being with the leader of the Promise keeper Movement makes me realize the incredible honor it is to speak to men about getting closer to the Lord.

My guitar playing has hit a wall. I need to get energized, I have not been putting in the practice time. I did play my Gibson for awhile this morning, I admit it was total distortion, always sounds good that way.

Hope to be going to Moab mountain biking this next weekend. It will be awesome hanging with my old buds from Capital Christian Center. Man I miss those days and the innocence of being a new Christian. Love ya Pastor Ken you are a mighty man of God!

So here is a thought,
How about completely changing our lives at 45. I'm thinking I need a major overhaul. Most of my faithful friends know that I'm a Jesus following, sold out christian soldier. But I am sure I've done allot wrong. First I want to apologize to all those I've hurt by talking Christ and not liven' Him. I can be a little intense (No really!), and I am going to focus more on what I do than what I say. It's funny, seven years in strength ministry and I have seen God do some amazing things. I know there will be many more who hear the gospel though these strongmen for Christ. I just don't think its gonna be me. I'm ready for the next level. I have been getting up between 4:30 and 5:00am almost this whole year to get closer to God. I want to change. I want to be a better husband to my wife who has put up with me leaving for weeks at a time and then dragging her from church to church, whoever will let me speak. I want to be a better father to my son who needs a friend and a mentor. I want to be a better son to my parents who I put through hell the first 21 years of my life. (Well at least from 15 to 21). I want Gods BEST and I want to give others my BEST. My best attention, my best compassion, my best love and friendship. I want to finish one of the 4 books I've started. And I want to serve Christ in the capacity that brings me close to Him and others. I know it's a tall order but I also want to get in the best shape of my life, get a masters degree, do a marathon, a triathlon and buy a 68 Camaro.
Well I gotta go get started!
See you soon.
