Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

THIS IS A GOOD DAY

It's weird, but this morning for some unknown reason I left the gym feeling I could have done more. I had upped my exercise today and went at it for longer than I normally do and yet I felt far less exhausted than I was yesterday when I only did about 3/4 of what I did today.

I know that there's something that's meant to kick in somewhere in the brain when you work out that makes it pleasant and almost addictive, but trust me after more than ten months of rolling out of bed when it's still dark and spending the first couple of hours of the day sweating like a pig, my endorphins simply haven't shown up yet. So it's still hard work every time.

Some days are easier than others, but with the positive end in view, I just keep doing what I'm doing regardless.

That kind of reminds me of something Paul wrote to the Galatians. Here's the MMV rendering of it (My Memory Version) - Let's not get tired of doing good because in due time we will reap the benfits if we don't give up.

That's a good point for every area of our lives - let's just keep on doing what we should be doing!
