Yesterday I got to attend an incredible service at Athens Church as they celebrated their 10-year anniversary in style by packing out Stegman Coliseum. Athens Church is where I was first introduced to the teaching of Andy Stanley when I was in school in the Classic City. Andy has probably influenced my life more than anyone outside of my family. Yesterday was my first time...

So last night I missed the first day of my 30 day blogging challenge. I could say I was busy or didn’t have time but really I just blew it off because it was date night. As much as I’m a task focused person I’m really proud of myself for not being a perfectionist and realizing it’s OK to fall short of my goals. The...

So often I spend time looking around at things I see...

In light of this I’ve decided to start a challenge. Ideally I’d like to write something every...

Running with my brother Zach today we both agreed how relaxed we felt when we run. As weird as that sounds it’s an amazing place to get to with any type of exercise. For me the times I’m out running are the highlight of my day. Sure it get’s tiring at times and I am usually sore afterward but that’s what we were made to...

I was feeling pretty good after running the Peachtree Road Race 2 days ago and being pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was than I remembered. All my training for the marathon was paying off and the race I remembered exhausting me as a child felt like a nice relaxing jog. So I guess I got a little cocky and thought my weekly long...
