Anti-fat arse: day 1 (beer gut)

So I have been thinking of starting to become a beer drinker. I don’t normally drink not because of religious reasons, but cus I think it tastes like crap. So why am I thinking of starting to drink beer. Simple…

Beer gut justification. Thats right. I need some way to justify having a beer gut when I don’t even drink beer.

So it’s day one of the “no more fat arse people in ministry weight loss challenge”. I just lost 300 calories typing that.

I’m starting with a detox diet. No carbs High protein and before every meal 8 ounces of cranberry juice mixed with water. No that is not tasty. You are suppose to kick start the day with some warm lemon water. I think I will try that tomorrow.

So I know some of you are jumping in on this and you can do it anyway you want. Use the banner and let me know what you are doing.

NMFAPIMWLC: no more fat ARSE people in ministry Weight Loss challenge

So I have noticed and so has my wife that I have gained a few pounds and quite frankly I am tired of it. It isn’t conducive to many things. any more would qualify as TMI.
Have you read that your body is a temple? Well mine is more like a chucky cheese. It is not healthy and a joke. So with that said I am starting a detox diet. 1.5 years ago I weighed 220. I am 6ft and now weigh 260. That is not a good weight to time ratio. I am ready to fix that an maybe become a non fat Arse person in ministry. That will help me not to look like a tall hobbit. Oops sorry rabbit trail.

So I challenge all of my billions of readers to take up the challenge as well. Use the logo and any weight loss you choose. Don’t continue in being a Fat Arse person in ministry. Become a Trim and Lean Arse.

below is a banner to pop on your site as well. Support the process and me in prayer…or jump on board and join me.

WHO’S WITH ME!!! jump on …use the banner and tell me what your doing and if it’s working. During all of this I have rededicated to being more in the word…I’ll have a post on that soon

Aaron Gillespie: The Almost/Underoath

Aaron Gillespie spoke at the Awakening Conference on April 17th, 2008. It was an unforgettable night- Here is one of the songs he performed. This song is gritty and real. It comes from someplace deep and I love the emotion in it.

After the Pain: The CZAR

Here is my buddy from town. Local Youth guy Steve Patton aka The Czar. From the last youth conference we went to. They let him do his thing.

National Day of Prayer: Shift Set list

Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer. How many of you guys are doing this in your church or community?

Well we are. We have many churches invited and 5 churches have put the event together. It is tomorrow night at 7pm so keep it in your prayers.

I am extremely excited about this event for unity sake. I can’t wait to get that many denominations in one room to celebrate that we are “one” church.

Also my multi church worship band Shift will be leading worship. This will be the first public unveiling of the band so keep that in prayer also.

Here is the set List for the night:

1. Everlasting God: Brown
2. Blessed Be Your Name: Redman
3. Mighty To Save: Hillsong
4. How He Loves: Jesus Culture version
5. How Deep the Fathers Love: modern hymn
6. Amazing Grace: Tomlin chains are gone version
7. All Creatures in key of A with O Praise him vamp
8. How Great is Our God/How Great thou art: Tomlin/trad.

Did I mention we are playing my new favorite song HOW HE LOVES…ah yeah baby.

Huge Announcement: Church Name

This past Sunday our pastor announced that with much prayer within the leadership and elders we have decided to change Our church name from St. Michael’s to lifepath church. I was a part of the prayer and thinking of this and have my thoughts about what this means for us. I will expand on it tonight.

I am very excited about everything that comes with this and will also be calling for the help of you readers in my next post with your prayers. Until then here is the announcement and explanation of everything going on. This is not just a name change. We are trying to change the spiritual climate in our area. We want to see people come to Christ.

Lifepath Church Name Change

How He loves Us

anybody else doing this?

I lost an eye

Is it just me or does this verse freak you out?

8 “If your hand or your foot gets in the way of God, chop it off and throw it away. You’re better off maimed or lame and alive than the proud owners of two hands and two feet, godless in a furnace of eternal fire. 9 And if your eye distracts you from God, pull it out and throw it away. You’re better off one-eyed and alive than exercising your twenty-twenty vision from inside the fire of hell. Matthew 18:8-9

I was thinking about this the other day. So I lie, I get too angry, I lust, I hurt, I use my feet and walk into situations that are not good and my hands. Are you there also? I’m not perfect.
Seems that if I took this literally I would be walking around with no eyes, feet, hands, or tongue.

Thank God His grace is perfect.
