a Christmas party
Last week the Christmas party for the college faculty and staff was amazing.   We met at the home of a family that opens their home every night for a month for tours.  You can call ahead, make a resevation, and then tour their home while hearing the entire Christmas story explained, illustrated through incredible decorations with exquisite detail. They do this every Christmas.  And every year...

what is your weight-gain plan?
I get frustrated when I gain weight over Thanksgiving and Christmas so this year instead of fearing weight-gain I am planning for it! I’m already below my pre-Thanksgiving weight and plan to be back at my pre-Christmas weight by January 15.  Bring on the banana bread! What is your plan for gaining weight this Christmas?

university campus for sale
There is currently a ton of buzz about the demise of the modern university.  (High schools are next, by the way).  I’m a courseware developer for an online education company and it’s fascinating to watch universities shudder and cope with the changing educational landscape.

The vision of our ministry is...

a few thoughts from "Focal Point" by Brian Tracy
If your lifestyle was healthy/fit in every respect, what would you be doing and how would you be doing it? Is there anything I am doing that, knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t get into if I were starting over today? Ask family members what they’d like you to do more of, less of, and what they’d like you to start doing and stop doing.
