You would think I would come to the conclusion sooner than later that my eating lifestyle is not that good!
I have started getting frequent migraine style headaches and I'm worn out more times than not. I currently weigh about 190lbs and it's time to shape up!!
I not only have an obligation to my lovely wife Pam and son Daniel to get healthy so I don't have a stroke, but to my Lord Jesus Christ who directs us to make a temple out of our bodies for him.
DragonCon is about 10 days out and I need to lose some of this weight to fit better into my Jedi outfit.
I am going to commit (you heard it here truebelievers) to doing basic TaiBo daily around 2pm, drink V8 juice to supplement veggies not eaten, drink more water...more I say lol and stay away from Mcd's and fried foods and sugar.
I owe this to my spouse, my Youngling son and to my God!!

Jesus, my King....
The below sermon was presented by a pastor named S.M Lockridge and truly represents how I feel about my Lord and Saviour.
"My King"
My King was born a King. The Bible says He’s a Seven Way King. He’s the King of the Jews – that’s a racial King. He’s the King of Israel – that’s a National King. He’s the King of righteousness. He’s the King of the ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of glory. He’s the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that’s my King. Well I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him? Don’t try to mislead me. Do you know my King?
David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament show His handiwork. My King is the only one whom there are no means of measure can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shore of supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing. Well, well, He’s enduringly strong. He’s entirely sincere. He’s eternally steadfast. He’s immortally graceful. He’s imperially powerful. He’s impartially merciful. That’s my King. He’s God’s Son. He’s the sinner’s saviour. He’s the centrepiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He’s august. He’s unique. He’s unparalleled. He’s unprecedented. He’s supreme. He’s pre-eminent. Well, He’s the loftiest idea in literature. He’s the highest personality in philosophy. He’s the supreme problem in high criticism. He’s the fundamental doctrine of proved theology. He’s the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That’s my King.
He’s the miracle of the age. He’s the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him. Well, He’s the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously. He supplies strength for the weak. He’s available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He’s strong God and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleanses the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharged debtors. He delivers the captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent and He beautifies the meek. Do you know Him?
Well, my King is the key of knowledge. He’s the wellspring of wisdom. He’s the doorway of deliverance. He’s the pathway of peace. He’s the roadway of righteousness. He’s the highway of holiness. He’s the gateway of glory. He’s the master of the mighty. He’s the captain of the conquerors. He’s the head of the heroes. He’s the leader of the legislatures. He’s the overseer of the overcomers. He’s the governor of governors. He’s the prince of princes. He’s the King of kings and He’s the Lord of lords. That’s my King. Yeah. Yeah. That’s my King. My King, yeah. His office is manifold. His promise is sure. His light is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Well. I wish I could describe Him to you, but He’s indescribable. He’s indescribable. Yes. He’s incomprehensible. He’s invincible. He’s irresistible. I’m coming to tell you, the heavens of heavens cannot contain Him, let alone a man explaining Him. You can’t get Him out of your mind. You can’t get Him off of your hands. You can’t outlive Him and you can’t live without Him. Well, Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilot couldn’t find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn’t get their testimonies to agree. Herod couldn’t kill Him. Death couldn’t handle Him and the grave couldn’t hold Him. That’s my King. Yeah. He always has been and He always will be. I’m talking about He had no predecessor and He’ll have no successor. There was nobody before Him and there’ll be nobody after Him. You can’t impeach Him and He’s not going to resign. That’s my King! That’s my King!
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Well, all the power belongs to my King. We’re around here talking about black power and white power and green power, but it’s God’s power. Thine is the power. Yeah. And the glory. We try to get prestige and honour and glory for ourselves, but the glory is all His. Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory, forever and ever and ever and ever. How long is that? And ever and ever and ever and ever. And when you get through with all of the evers, then, Amen.
Amen and Amen! I love you Jesus!!

Master Replicas Obi-Wan Kenobi ROTS FX Saber...
This fine piece of work you see before you is the 2006 Master Replica Obi-Wan Kenobi Revenge of the Sith FX Lightsaber.
I awoke last Thursday morning to find that the tracking number MR gave me said that FedEx would be delivering my saber a day earlier than expected. Excitement set in!As I prepared lunch for myself and my Youngling son Daniel, a noise outside announced that the FedEx truck was here! I literally ran to the door to meet the delivery woman, excitedly signed for the package and headed inside to open my bounty!! After making sure Daniel had lunch and wolfing down a quick bite myself, I opened the FX box. It was like opening the secrets to the Ming Dynasty treasure!The saber is indeed boxed in a very nice way with great Obi-Wan graphics and scripting. I gently removed tape and packing foam to reveal General Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber! As I picked it up, I noticed that IMHO it is slightly lighter than my Anakin ROTS but in no way as heavy as the Mace FX. The brightness of the hilts metals shone before my eyes and I gazed at it's awesome beauty. Hey...it's a piece of art- what can I say?The battery compartment screamed out my name so I replied with 3 AA Duracell Ultras and the blade sprang forth to pierce my darkened living room with blue piercing light! The blue blade does indeed seem brighter and is more of a purer blue. I was a little disappointed that the saber sounds are basically the same as the Anakins...but hey you can't have everything!The activation button slides upward on the activation box and seems difficult to shut off while dueling. I hope that doesn't change.The blade seems stronger and more secure than my Anakin and has no tightening screw that I know of. I hope I never have to tighten the blade!
This saber will become my personal sidekick at every convention and fundraiser that I attend as Founder of the online Jedi costuming organization, The Jedi Assembly. www.TheJediAssembly.com
It truly is worth the money as a collectible and showpiece, as a prop and as a statement for the love of that Galaxy Far, Far Away! Thanks be to my beautiful wife Pamela and my Mom for this birthday gift!

Promisekeepers 2006...
This year's Promisekeepers theme was "Unleashed". I attended with fellow church member Rodney Freeman and we went to the Atlanta venue. Two days of excitement and getting to know Rodney more. He is an upstanding gentleman and a neat Christian man. Promisekeepers site can be found here:
