Fully Alive in 2010
A glimpse of what is ahead often changes the course of our
lives. If you are on the freeway and see flashing ambulance and
police lights ahead, you will most likely take a detour to avoid an accident.
For me it was a glimpse from behind that changed my life.
Seeing this flattering picture started me on a two year journey that became a
physical, spiritual and emotional adventure that I will never regret.
After many gains and losses, I have finally lost almost 50 lbs, I
have maintained that loss and I have found a renewed excitement about every
aspect of living. The discipline and resulting vibrance I found in my physical
life, also helped me take a close look at my spiritual life. I had become lazy
there as well. Thank heaven there are no pictures of that!
Benjamin Franklin said, "Most people die at about 25 and aren't buried until they are 75." This last year I feel like my life has been rewound 25 years...

God's feet are on the ground in Haiti
After watching the news over the past several days, I turned to my wife Diane
last night and said, "The world is watching the church in action." Thousands
of believers who were themselves suffering personal loss are serving the poor
in Haiti. Many have been there for years making a difference even before the
earthquake struck. The efforts of these who are God's feet on the ground can't
be hidden.
You couldn't miss the faces of hundreds of college students and
high school groups from churches across America who were in Haiti before the
disaster with a mission to help the beautiful people of this impoverished
country. Hundreds if not thousands of them are among those who perished. The
media could not ignore the fact that where governments were bogged down in red
bureaucratic tape, and well meaning relief agencies were stymied getting food
and supplies to those who needed it most, the church was on the front lines
using its contacts and knowledge of the culture to get the job done with
little or no resources.
Read more and listen to a conference
call I was on with Compassion International and find out what you can still do to help.
If you have to eat a frog...
Okay, be forewarned! This is not for the delicate or faint of heart. Yesterday, I ran 8 miles. That's farther than I have ever run
before. The sun was shining for the first time in over a week. And it was warm! A few days before I had biked 20 miles in 30 degree weather and
almost froze to death.
Keep reading if you dare...
That's It!
Thanks for reading this issue of The Punch Line. See you next month!
