I have been thinking about some things to focus on for 2008:

Eat Better
Exercise More
Read More
Study the Bible More
Work Smarter with Fewer Hours
Hang Out with my Kids More
Have a Bigger Impact in Ministry (people)

Focusing on seven items seems intimidating at the moment. Maybe this list will help me decide when to say “no” to instead of striving for another “yes.”

I downloaded two CD’s last night.

The first was “Give Yourself Away” from the Robbie Seay Band. I have toyed with getting this CD since its release back in August. Amazon currently has it for $8. Favorite songs so far: Song of Hope, Stay and Beautiful, Scandalous Night.

The second was “Become Who You Are” by Mainstay. I was introduced to Mainstay when iTunes gave away the first song off the CD. The song, Become Who You Are, is still my favorite. I was a little disappointed at first listen; I thought the CD would be heavier than it turned out to be though I am hoping it will grow on me. Like “Give Yourself Away,” I have had my eye on getting this CD for a few months. The decision was sealed when Walmart offered it at $5.

If you have not discovered it yet, the Fireproof team has setup a blog.  They are writing a story for each day of the shoot and posting it the next day.  The blog is well done and includes lots of behind the scenes photographs and “inside” stories.

Tragedy struck the Fireproof team this past weekend.  One of the professional team members, Chip Monk, was involved in a fatal car accident Sunday evening near Gainesville, Florida.

My assistant, Hayley, has more details on her blog.

Please pray for his wife, who is pregnant with their first child, and family.

Filming was stopped until after the Thanksgiving holidays.  Jim and Alex went to Florida to help and minister to the family for the week.  Many more will be attending the funeral tomorrow.

Last Saturday was the annual RiverFront Run here in Albany. For the second time, I ran in this race. I was able to beat last year’s time with 27:42 and moved to 102nd place.

Though I improved on last year’s race, I was once again bummed at my race time. I was hoping to pick up where I left off last year by finishing around 26:00. My wife says I should be happy since the two weeks prior training consisted of two 1.5 miles runs and 3 flag football games.

My doctor did very well finishing 3rd in his age division with a race time of 21:01. Congrats to Bill.

I will miss the Chili Run this year, but hoping to do better in Jiggle Bell Jog.
