I stepped on the scale 9 years ago today, at the doctors office, because the bathroom scale I had at my house would no longer register my weight. The number was astronomical. At my heaviest, i weighed around 380 lbs. That's roughly half the backstreet boys.I don't blame anyone or anything except myself. My son had some issues when he was first born, and my wife thinks I was depressed because of that - so that manifested itself in eating. I love to eat.…

Straight out of the psalms - a great reminder of the exhortations in Scripture related to our posture in worship. After our call to worship we sang Sing to the King - with one of my favorite verses ever - "For His returning, we watch and we pray. We will be ready the dawn of that day.
