Jan 1 2008 starting over

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I have two main goals this year, really three. The first one is to have a deeper relationship with God through daily readings and prayer. The second is to drop , oh, about 100 pounds from this worldly body. Ans third is to keep the great job that i have while attempting to explore a possible career change that is more family friendly. I have been away from my Bible for that last week over the Holidays and that is not really an excuse that is acceptable to me. On Wednesday Jan 2, I will start back in the book of Psalm and continue reading the words of David. My wonderful wife bought me a new study bible for Christmas and I can't wait to get started.

Also on Wednesday, i will slowly start exercising again and tracking what I eat. I must write down everyday what I eat so that I can see it from the big picture and realize where my problems lie in what I am eating and when i am eating. Really sucks, but I think God needs me to be here for some reason, so I think i need to get into shape. Let's see how I do in the morning.

Lord: Please hear my prayer for you help and guidance and start this new part of my life in becoming closer to you and becoming a healthier person.

I made a bet with m oldest Son that he would not be able to able to beat me in one on one until he is in the 9th grade. I better get into shape soon.
