Random Tangent

So I am starting Boot Camp (no, not the real military) at the Charleston Wellness Center. It is a 12-week (3x/week) program with instructors from the Marine Corps. Pray for me.

I started pre-workouts this morning. On one level, it's good to be out there running and sweating again. On another, I am reminded of how overdue all of this is. Oh well.

As part of this, I am also dieting. If I'm gonna lost wait, I'm gonna have to change what I eat as well. So farewell all my favorites: It's light beer (if even that) and broccoli from here on out.

P.S. The person who comes closest to the amount of weight they think I will lose in twelve weeks gets a Barnes and Noble gift card. The loser is no longer my friend :)

So I just learned more than I wanted to know about RSS feeds. And now I am passing the knowledge (in part) along to you. I have setup the blue button on the right top part of the page so that people can subscribe to my blog. It came with the design. I was confused for a while. Now I got it. And now you benefit from my previous confusion.

One of my favorite preachers, Mark Driscoll, wrote a great article for his church, Mars Hill Church, explaining why they were making the shift from NIV to ESV. I can't find the article. That's a bummer. My own church, Saint Andrew's Church, has recently made the same move.

So I found these videos instead.

What Mark Driscoll has to say.

What John Piper has to say.

I am trying to get back to blogging. And since I like to keep things random, I am updating the look of the blog. Lots of changes coming, so if you like to read this thing, you may be frustrated (like me) for next couple of weeks. Otherwise, you can check back in a week or so and be pleasantly surprised. Props to the guys who designed this thing (bottom of the page). They are really on top of it. I love the look. A couple of tweaks and we'll be off and running.

Found this guy on YouTube yesterday. Not gonna lie...kind of have a man crush now. Anyway, thought people would be equally as impressed as I was. Check it out:
