Over New Year’s weekend, I was able to speak at a youth retreat in PA. It was awesome in every way and I believe God used that time to revitalize me. While I was at the retreat, I also began a plan to read through the Bible in 90 days, which is why I have not been blogging through the Bible over the last few weeks. After the 90 days are up (at the end of March), I plan to finish blogging through the New Testament in 2010. I only have two more books to go – 1 and 2 Corinthians, and I will have logged over 500 posts with more than 800 hours invested since April of 2007.
Another contributing factor to my crazy schedule has been the location change of our church’s second campus, the Summit in Green. I have served as the campus pastor at the Summit since September 2008, while also continuing my role as high school pastor at the main campus. As of January 17, 2010, the Summit moved from Regal Cinema to the Green YMCA. It was a GREAT move for us with numerous benefits. We were excited to see almost 100 people attend our first gathering at the YMCA.
Last, but certainly not least…I have been attempting to eat right and exercise in 2010. Although I’m only two weeks into it, I’ve lost 5 lbs. and feel better already. It’s probably all mental. I have been using an iPhone app called Lose It to keep track of my calories. Talk to me in April to see if I have reached my goal weight!
Other than this, I have been enjoying my family. Leah is an awesome wife who works hard and takes care of our family. She is my biggest fan. My kids are the best. They both started their own blogs – we are encouraging them to write, even though I think Lexi has written more than Ty. Stop by their blogs and leave a comment – they giggle like schoolgirls (and boys) when someone leaves a comment. Of course, I like comments too, but I’m pretty sure I don’t giggle like a schoolgirl when someone leaves me one, at least I don’t think so.
Peace out.
