Update and some fun
Posted on Monday, May 05, 2008 at 3:25 PM by David Zavadil
I looked up and the entire month of April had disappeared. It has been ages since my last post. I have had such good intentions, but have just not been able to get things done. In April we hosted our Annual Mission's Conference. Dr. Elias Medieros, RTS , was our Keynote speaker. It was fantastic. The messages can be found on the EPC website.
About a week after my last post, I was called by the doctor's office. My liver enzymes were abnormally high. I went in for some additional blood work and found the pancreatic levels were high too. The doctor was amazed though, as I had not symptoms with all the markers pointing toward pancreatitis. After 5 weeks of blood work and an ultrasound of my insides, my levels are back down near normal and still no symptoms. The whole thing was wierd, but kept me pretty self focused for a few weeks.
My family are big Alabama football fans. #1 son will be attending the Capstone in the fall, with aspirations of writing or broadcasting AL football. One song that means much to us is "Sweet Home Alabama." The Jolly Blogger pointed me toward this exciting, yet strange rendition of the Skynard favorite.

TNT Update
Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 5:16 PM by David Zavadil
The first week of November I began the TNT workout. My goal was to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. Yesterday I had my blood work done. I have officially a net loss of 17.5 pounds, according to my records. I said net loss becuase I have built some muscle, adding some weight. The more exciting new was that my cholesterol came down drastically. My total numbers went down from 217 to 178 and my ratio went from 5.2 to 3.7. While I realize that most who read this will go, "Huh?" Trust me, this is good news.

What has been happening?
Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 12:20 PM by David Zavadil
I noticed that my last entry was on the 6th. Where has the month gone? We have been very busy at Eastminster Presbyterian Church. We began our revamped Sunday School and have doubled our average attendance since the new beginning. I currently have 5 adults in our inquirer's class and am excited about the new possiblities.
The last week in January I had lunch with Pastor Kim of Eden Korean Presbyterian Church. They meet in our Chapel on Sundays. Pastor Kim asked if they could move their worship time to coincide with ours. He expressed concern that some of their children speak better English than the parents and would appreciate being involved in our Sunday School. We are now having joint Sunday School classes with adult classes in English and Korean and the kids and youth all meeting together. Our next joint venture is to begin ESL classes in the spring/summer season.
Our IT elder and I have been busy trying to upgrade the church website to Joomla 1.5. This has proven a bigger undertaking than we first thought. I hope to have the site up and ready by next week sometime.
February 17 - 20, 2008 we held our FIRST Evangelism and Apologetics Conference. Attendance was good, with three times the participants for the evangelism class than we had planned to have. Clete Hux with Apologetics Resource Center was our Keynote speaker. He taught on world views during the week, enlightening us on the Postmodernism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses and the Word of Faith Movement. It was a great time, too bad Clete was fighting the flu the entire time.
This last week we have all been dealing with that same flu bug. Over half of the congregation was out sick last week with the flu and various other ailments. Many more have fallin ill this week. Sickness is running rampant through our body.
For those that might be interested. I am down 20 lbs and only about 5 pounds from my target weight. I am feeling better and stronger than at any time in my life. I really encourage everyone to watch what they eat.
Pray for us. Easter is coming, one of the busiest seasons in the church. Pray for the physical health of our congregation. Pray that God will give me the words to say on Sundays.

My pants are falling off!
Posted on Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:03 AM by David Zavadil
A quick update on my Diet and workout plan. The love handles are disappearing and my pants are too big. I feel like one of the kids now, sagging all the time. I would post progress pictures, but I do not want to scare anyone. Never thought eating right and doing exercise could be so much fun.
