The last day of the year! I want to give a quick "Happy Birthday" to Biff. His birthday is always a major party. I have experienced a number of victories in 2007. Perhaps the biggest was finishing my Ph.D. at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Also, LifeTree Church is coming together nicely. I am blogging about LifeTree Church here.

One of my commitments for 2008 is to keep both blogs updated on a more regular basis. I realize that this sounds like a resolution made for breaking, but I feel confident that I will be able to do so. Last year was so hectic with all of the dissertation research and writing. I just didn't feel like being on the computer for anything else.

Another goal I have for 2008 is my health. Karen and I have acquired an elliptical machine, and I plan on using that all year. I'd love to average losing a pound per week for 2008. That would be incredible. I have some friends who are planning to run a half marathon this spring. I am nowhere near ready for that. But I'd like to run a race of some sort by the fall. Perhaps I could do the Atlanta half marathon at Thanksgiving.
