First "f"

In honor of Eli, who has been patiently waiting on the first F, since he did such a great job speaking tonight, I'll get the first F in the record books for my SPF blog. The first F, could be also lumped into the Spiritual category as well, but we'll put it in the F...that is the tithing. I think it is very important to tithe back to God what is his and what he has given us. I am a strong believer that we should give 10% of our gross income, however with that being said, Cara and I still have a little ways to go to get to that point, so I want to be careful to not be hypocritical on this one. We are not where we want to be, but we really hope to get to that point some time soon. I also would encourage anyone that if they can't give 10%, then at least give something and keep striving to give what you feel in your heart is what God is asking you to give.

I did a little better eating today...I had one small little bite of birthday cake tonight, and no desert and a small lunch at church today. I also got a decent run in during the afternoon in between church. Amazing weather still...almost February and I wore long sleeves and shorts and was still comfortable running outside.

I'll keep prayer consistent tonight and keep it with the Casey family. We pray for a healthy pregnancy for Katie, and all the other things that Eli has talked about recently...(purposely vague here).
