Family Fitness Fun
Monday, January 9, 2012
15 year old Logan traversed 13.1 miles of the streets of Jackson MS over the weekend as part of the Mississippi Blues Marathon/Half-Marathon.
The course wound through scenery that included distinctive architecture…
The event was marked by abundant Southern hospitality, along with revelry related to the event’s moniker…
We stood at the finishing chutes and watched person after person completing the equivalent of their Tebow-esque 316 (3:16) yard, first-play-of-overtime touchdown pass (another highlight of the weekend!). The tone and atmosphere at these road races is nothing other than triumphant. To watch people succeed at achieving their goal of finishing strong - or finishing at all - is truly inspiring. To share it with family is especially rich…
Wake Up Call

Bennett (in the pic with his brother Cole at the finish in AutoZone Park) knocked out his first 13 mile run at the age of 13 in Saturday’s St. Jude Half Marathon in Memphis. The cause of helping the children at St. Jude Hospital made all the hard work very worthwhile - and memorable. Nice work, young man!

The Bee
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
Congratulations to all the participants in last weekend’s National Bible Bee.
When attendees weren’t watching the contestants, listening to a fine line-up of speakers, or enjoying a wide variety of recreational activities, they had the option to slip into a film screening in a room we were privileged to have bear our name.
The Bee is a remarkable thing to behold. Stay tuned for more on this front…
It’s Bee Time

Help Us Help Him
Wednesday, November 2, 2011
We’ve only got several days remaining to reach our goal of helping children facing cancer and other life-threatening diseases at St. Jude Hospital. Sorry to be mentioning it so often in this space, but we really believe in this cause! Your help would be greatly appreciated!!
A Different Kind of Race
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
A few of us ran in this race a while back. We’re directly behind the fellow with the t.v. show about all those kids (and counting).
It wasn’t actually a race, of course, but a scene from Courageous, the new movie from Alex and Stephen Kendrick.
Courageous continues to perform well at the box office. It’s tally just went over $25,000,000, which is an outstanding showing for a film its size. Courageous is adding new screens this weekend; here’s a link to where it’s showing: http://www.courageousthemovie.com/newtheaters
We would run a few paces for the race above, then hear “Cut! Back to ‘A’!”, which was our cue to line up again for yet another take. On a hot Albany, Georgia day.
But there will be no such starting and stopping on our big day in December. There won’t be a movie crew either, but the effort is motivated by a very special film project.
