Although it is not a comprehensive indication, still those measurements from high school are proven to be a good general indication of health. Time to brush up on those push-ups!

The Lord’s Day 1.13.07

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was [...]

Well, I was not completely successful this week, but it has been an encouraging start. Here continue the resolutions: I will be in bed by 1am every day. I will wake up by 9am every day. I will play no single-player games.
To Love God
Posted in Personal on November 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A dear friend posed a poignant question to me tonight. What, if anything, would I hope or desire for the future? Among the answers I gave, finally I lit upon one that became the focal point of our conversation. Simply put, I wish for myself, for my family, for my friends, and for all people [...]
Personal Resolutions
Posted in Personal, Resolutions on November 13, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s never to early to begin to set resolutions! I’ve realized over the course of this semester that I’ve been compromising on many things (sleep especially), and being the type that likes structure, I’ll be setting some tangible boundaries/guidelines for myself as well as thoughts upon which to meditate. Each week I’ll add something new, [...]
Saturday Sentences II

Many of these sentences may need some explanation, but that defeats the purpose of the post. Hopefully some of them provoke consideration or interest and are edifying to you this weekend. Quotes: “He that at a feast feeds with temperance has much greater pleasure of what he eats and drinks than he that gluts himself [...]
Faith in Action: Driving
Posted in Heart, Personal, Sin on October 4, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I do not admit to driving dangerously nor grieving other drivers. In fact, I consider myself a very good driver. Yet as I was commuting home this afternoon I realized the depth of my depravity as evidenced through my driving, and how our attitudes on the road are very much a litmus test of our [...]
Sentences that Change Lives I
Posted in Personal, Quotes, Resources, Thoughts, Writing on September 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Books don’t change people…paragraphs do…sometimes even sentences. – John Piper, A Godward Life In recent days I’ve been persuaded that while a deep understanding of the most technical of subjects can be to the glory of God, still the practical depends upon short, perhaps pithy, sentences. If I cannot summarize a sermon, a lecture, a [...]
Games for the Family: Blokus, Settlers, etc.
Posted in Family, Games, Life, Personal, Thoughts on September 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Some of my fondest memories as a child include playing Monopoly, Risk, Yahtzee, Stratego, Chess, and the list goes on. Sadly, board games are on the decline. I had overlooked the trend until recently when it was brought to my attention. Perhaps video games and some other forms of entertainment have taken their place, but [...]
Boice on Psalm 30
Posted in Personal, Quotes, Sermons, Thoughts on September 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Today I turned to Psalm 30, having experienced joy and refreshment this morning. Boice gives us some excellent contextual information, as well as a wonderful practical illustration. As I discussed with a good friend last night, often I struggle with the faith he mentions, and I pray that I can not just mentally assent to [...]
