24 Aug Did You Run?
After way too long, I stepped out my door again for a run. I have been struggling with running over the last few months. I have just had a hard time getting out the front door. Oh, I could go to the gym and use...

18 Aug Serving Together…
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to serve on church staff with a number of godly men. Henry Horton, Donny Parrish, Alan Rogers, and Terry Kimbrow made up the first staff that I worked with at Antioch Baptist Church of Conway. There, I...
04 Aug Rest for the Soul…
I recently returned from a family vacation to Chicago. To tell you the truth, I don't really like "vacations." Unfortunately, they are normally trips full of activity with very little time to rest. To me, a vacation should be all about rest. It should be a...
23 Jun From Unfit to Fourth Degree…
This past weekend, I tested and earned my 4th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. I'm pretty proud of the achievement, but more proud of the changes in my life since I began this journey in 2006. Dan, Temple, Katie, & Riley in early 2007. Master Jerry Lindsey...
08 Jun Hello. My name is Dan and I have a problem…
I don't know about you, but my struggle to stay healthy is a constant battle with what I put in my mouth. I simply love food. What really stinks is that you can't go through a 12-step program and get off of it. You have...

This past Sunday evening, I had the opportunity to go bowling with my Sunday school class. It was chaos! I teach a group of 20 & 30 year olds at church and we made this a family event with the little ones bowling with us....
26 May Tales of a Super Marriage…
For years, I have said that my wife is my Lois and I am her Clark. (An obvious Superman reference for this SuperFan.) In recent years, DC Comics undid years of story and continuity by doing away with that relationship. I was among the first...
14 May Socially Acceptable Bingeing
Somewhere along the way, it became socially acceptable to BINGE. Now, I don’t mean BINGE drinking or even BINGE eating. I am referring to a new type of BINGEING. Today, it is all about BINGE watching. Netflix and other streaming services have led us to a new type of television...
06 May Do or Do Not…
Monday was Star Wars Day. (You know, May the 4th be with you.) I have loved Star Wars since I was a kid. In fact, I have seen every Star Wars film in the theater since the original showed up in 1977. I was just...
28 Apr Taking My Daughter on the Trail…
This past Saturday, my daughter and I went out to Lake Fayetteville for her very first mountain biking trip. She knows how to ride a bike, but riding off trail can be a very different creature. I have to say that she did great! She...
