Probably no differently than anyone else, I began exercising slowly and with no real knowledge of what I was getting into at all. I had no daily plan based on what I wanted to achieve and soon found myself to have more questions and concerns as every day went by. There was pain on a daily basis, there was the fear that I might be injuring myself by doing something wrong or over doing it altogether, I just didn't know ...but I continued on and I soon realized, after a very short period of time that the pain and soreness would all disappear within the first 10 minutes of the next days workout, that was when I first realized that there were things going on that I didn't fully understand yet. It was that moment that I realized that the choice was mine to succeed or fail, the only question was how hard did I want it? It wasn't long after that when I began to test the physical limits that I had placed on myself all my life, it was when I first realized that success would be on the other side of the "limit line" I've been living behind. It was the beginning of a learning process that would span several years of my life and ultimately helped me achieve my goal of taking weight loss and muscle development to the level that I took it to and it will help you achieve your goal as well!.

It's been said that after the flood of Noah's time, the average life span of a man was shortened to about seventy years. Gregory Victor McBride did not reach that average. His death certificate indicates he died on June 12, 2013. He was fifty-six and a half years old when he was stabbed and bled to death in the Southeast Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville. But I know there's more to it. Gregory Victor McBride lived fifty-six and a half years. That's just a bit over four hundred and ninety five thousand hours or nearly thirty million minutes. Does it seem strange that I've calculated his life to the hour or to the minute? What is even more inexplicable is the one minute that is not listed among the thirty million. Gregory Victor McBride got one extra minute, a sixty-first minute in the last hour of his life, that is not accounted for on his death certificate. In this "extra minute" is his remarkable story. I won't tell you it's true or it isn't. I'll simply tell his story as I promised I would. You decide what to make of it.

Wisdom can only be obtained in measurable quantities from experience and the process of aging. I suppose it is because at some point in life man quits following and worrying about his little head and commences using his big head.

The characters in this book are purely fictional but each was constructed from a collection of wise men I have known over many years.

Pastors love to preach about grace. The essence of the Good News, grace is unmerited favor from the all-powerful Creator of the world. There is perhaps no more satisfying message to deliver.But does the average churchgoer really understand what grace means for them? Is it just another "Christianese" term that fails to resonate?Bill Thomas' Surrounded by Grace: A Bible Study for Lent is a tool based on the Gospel of John to help pastors, small groups and congregations answer the question of what grace is in a modern context. From the story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana to his conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, Thomas uses John's words to affirm that the Lord's favor extends to all no matter how insignificant we see ourselves or our problems.Written to be utilized for individual or group study, or for worship services during the Lenten season,Surrounded by Grace encourages the imagination to ponder that there is no storm so great the Lord cannot overcome it; no pain so deep he will not sustain us through it; no death so final he will fail to resurrect us from it.Lessons Include: "Grace for Those Awkward Moments" (John 2:1-11) "Grace for the Broken Heart" (John 11:17-44) "Grace When Things Are Chaotic" (John 16:17-33)Bill Thomas is an associate pastor at First Christian Church of Washington, Missouri.
