The (Church) Office

I'm doing a series this month at Crossroads called Sitcom. A sitcom is a situation comedy - And we thought it would be a good idea to learn how to find the laughter in every situation. The Bible says it does good like a medicine. 

Our creative team came up with the concept of actually producing a running sitcom for the month of July while we share the series. It's a spoof on the highly successful sitcom The Office. We call it The Church Office. Here's the first episode!

Marathon Man

Well, half marathon that is!

I couldn't sleep tonight and while preoccupying myself, I realized I've got some serious catching up to do on my blogging! So here's the first of several entries that highlight what's been going on in 2013.

It takes a lot of discipline to blog regularly, but even more discipline to train for a 1/2 Marathon. By the grace of God I did just that and entered the Rock-N-Roll 1/2 Marathon in New Orleans back on February 24!

My good friend Scott Holmes (pictured with me here) ran with me and we finished with the remarkable pace of a 9.5 min/mile! (Remarkable for me that is - Much better than I had hoped to do!) Daphne Gaspard, Laura Menard and Jaclyn Garcia also participated and Donna and I enjoyed getting together with everyone in NOLA to hang out before and after the race.

Upon returning home I took some time off from running but I've recently started training again and I hope to run a full marathon in 2014. Running is great for me, it was a lot of fun to compete and the discipline required to train helps me stay disciplined in other areas of my life - Like blogging!
