Long Time No Blog

I haven't written much lately.  In fact, June was that last month that I posted. From June until now much has happned.  First, I took a job (in addition to pastoring) as the chair of the division of graduate studies at Beulah Heights University in Atlanta.  This it 10 hours a day in an office and it has cramped my exercise routine.  Second, my father died and between my time with him in the hospital, the funeral and driving a couple thousand miles from Louisiana, to Georgia, to West Virginia and back to Georgia, it really got me off track.  At one point I was within 2 pounds of my goal, but after dad's death and the days following at the office, I had gained 15 pounds back.  At present I'm 12 pounds away from my goal and I have five weeks to get there.  It is going to be tough to reach my goal of 50 by 50, but I'll give it my best.
