On January 1, I'll be starting a new teaching series at LifePoint entitled "Developing Healthy Habits." This series will focus on how to develop habits that are healthy rather than destructive. We'll start the series with a message about setting right priorities. Below is a little graphic I've put together for the occasion ...

This just in from Fark.com ... Radhakant Bajpai, 50, of Naya Ganj, India, is one of many medical record breakers to make their way into this year's Guinness World Records Book.

Happy day after Christmas! I hope you enjoyed a very, Merry Christmas and had time to reflect on important things. Here's a few pictures from our day ... These are my "spoils."

A few of us LifePointers went Christmas caroling tonight at the apartment of an old, dear friend. Tonya and I first met Henrietta Bell when she was a young 85 years-old. That was fifteen years ago. She recently celebrated her 100th birthday and appears to be going strong. We sang for about thirty minutes and had a great time. Following the singing, we retreated back to the house for food ... and more food! It was a fine night.

Tonya and I celebrated our 15th anniversary yesterday in style ... dinner at McDonalds and a night at Motel 6. Just kidding. We let her parents watch the girls and we went to La Jolla for dinner and a night at the Grand Colonial Hotel. It's a beautiful hotel built in 1913 and with a view overlooking La Jolla Cove. For dinner, we ate at Azul's. I won't eat again until tomorrow! It was absolutely fantastic!God has been good to me. I have been blessed with a loving and supportive wife for fifteen great years. She has been a great wife, helper, and mother to our children. May every man be so blessed.Behind every successful man is a surprised mother-in-law.
