Pastor Transition Team Update

by Rob Jordan
The Pastor Transition Team continues to meet and pray together and work on behalf of the Connection Point Church body to prepare for this transition season that is approaching. Pastor Brandon’s last Sunday is June 30. I hope you are planning to attend that special service as we have our Freedom Celebration and will also give Brandon and his family a hearty send off to celebrate their years of service.

My Diet Plan

by Mark Browning
A week ago in this space, I confessed to my gluttonous ways. Over the past three weeks, I’ve succeeded in behaving myself, losing in excess of two pounds each week. I’m perfectly happy with weight loss at that pace, which will get me into an acceptable range before the year’s end and right where I want to be before the winter is well advanced.

by Mark Browning
In my Composition I class, I ask each student to formulate a goal that can be achieved during the course of the semester. Each of the papers during the term will be based in some way on that goal, but my favorite part of this approach is to listen to the various goals that students concoct.

My Food Problem

by Mark Browning
If I were in a twelve-step program, it would be for overeating. My problem with food is simple: I like it way too much. Today, Penny and I had lunch at Pie Five, a restaurant we’d never visited before. I won’t say that their buffalo chicken pizza was the best pie I’ve ever eaten.

The Risk of Days Off

by Mark Browning
Yesterday I shared how I allowed two-plus years of great progress and discipline to be frittered away. After my top-of-the-stairs realization, I dropped more than sixty pounds. After a year of running regularly, I took on a half marathon, running Hospital Hill in 2014.
