If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Romans 12:18, ESV)
Thought for today: Act like it is those days
“Why We Love the Church”
A friend of mine (who is also a pastor in Florida), Steve Camp, posted six images of “Why We Love the Church.” I asked permission to repost them, and he said yes. So, here are the slides along with the Scripture references as a bonus. 🙂 (All Bible quotations from the English Standard Version.) Firstly,…
30 Days of Python
As I suggest in “And It Begins…,” you and I can do anything for 30 days. Although I’ve already missed a couple days (once because I forgot on a day I just couldn’t get a Mastodon server set-up…and once ’cause I was staying up late already making sure I didn’t fail again :-)), back on Saturday,…
“For I am sure…”
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)
Scott Adams’ Happiness Formula
Although I would put this “happiness formula” first… But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33, NIV). …this one from Scott Adams (in How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big) seems pretty good: Recapping the happiness formula: Eat right….

6 Weeks Challenge Complete, 7.7 Pounds Down
I completed The Athlete District‘s 6 Week Challenge, ending up 7.7 pounds down, and in better shape. These before and after pictures don’t do justice to what their challenge accomplished (especially since the side shot wasn’t at the same angle): It may not be obvious, but the belly is smaller. 🙂 (And, my muscles are…
Day 1: 251.1 Pounds
I started a weight loss program with The Athlete District today. Six weeks of exercise, macro-focused dieting, and ample rest. Sadly, I am at 251.1 lbs to start. We’ll see where we are in six weeks. Oh, and I have to say their example recipes are pretty darn good. 🙂 Finally, these are my “before”…
And It Begins…
UPDATE: 30 Day Quest was originally a separate web site, now merged into AI: Alan Intelligence. Why “30 Day Quest?” Where do I start? In May of last year (2021), I snapped the Patellar Tendon on my left knee, clumsily falling down some stairs while traveling. After surgery, my recovery was delayed by some massive…
