I am excited about this!

Over the last 3 years I have been blogging on a limited basis. As I look back over the blogs that I have posted, there seems to be a trend that people are most interested in the posts I've done about health and fitness.

I am shocked how many people from around the world have viewed these: Let's Get In Shape and Health and Fitness Update.

Quite honestly I hesitate every time I do one of those posts, because I don't want to be "that guy". You know the guy I'm talking about, every blog post or tweet has something to do with their workout that day. On the other hand, I have had so many people who have been inspired by my journey, that it would be a shame not to share what the Lord is doing in regards to fitness.

So here's what I'm going to be doing, in the next couple of months I am going to create a separate blog and Twitter account devoted ONLY to health and fitness. That way people can choose to keep up to date on that topic if they feel inclined.
In the meantime I'll probably only blog sparingly about random things.

I have a real burden for helping people in not only their spiritual lives, but also their physical lives. This burden is especially strong for Pastors.

Pastors as a whole tend to be overweight. A 2001 Pulpit and Pew study of 2,500 clergy found that 76% were overweight or obese compare to 61% of the general population at the time of the study. My guess is that it even higher today!

I feel compelled to help, so stay tuned for some exciting details!!
