This week I'm starting a new journey. I'm always up for an adventure and this will be a pretty challenging one. After almost a year of research that has really started reach its pinnacle within the last few months, I know a change is needed. Not only for my own health but the hhealth of my family.

I've never been the healthiest of eaters. I tend to eat whatever is around..and a lot of it. In recent years my weight has been a burnout of control, and that's what spawned this journey. I wasn't looking for a new diet or a quixk fix. I was looking for answers.

This week is going to be my first week as a Vegan. Its scary. Its exciting. Its an education. Ive discovered so much of the lies we have all been taught about our food supply. What I thought was "healthy" is really something that is slowly going to kill me. What I've always thought is perfectly healthy to feed my kids - is actually something that can cause the major health issues down the road. Some of the chronic issues I have with fatigue and headaches are simply caused by what I'm putting into my body. Things that I've been told are perfectly healthy to eat and "can't be causing these issues".

Tomorrow we go shopping for the first time as a vegan couple. Its going to be am experiment as we get use to a new way of eating. We've only been eating this way since we got married 15 years ago. Can't expect an overnight change to happen. But it will happen.

Off we go....a new journey.

This year we went down to Atlanta to hang with the family for Thanksgiving.  Here are a few pictures from that trip.

There really is nothing like a good first person shooter to let out a little aggression.  My wife was kind enough to pick up this bad boy for me:

I am a n00b. I admit that. I didn't play a lot of video games as a kid. But I really don't care as long as I get to blow something up!!  I'm hoping to score a XboxLive membership at some point so I can play online.

I think you know what I'll be doing this weekend. 

Later,

No, he really didn’t want to take this shot. It was at the end of the “shoot” and he was ready to go get some dinner. But… I love the look on his face.

This song has been great comfort to me today.  

Sweet, Sweet Sound by The Unseen Glory.  You can listen to it here.

Oh Lord, come whisper to me in my sleep
Come pour Yourself out over me
Will You draw near?

Oh Lord, You’re calling me back to your heart
Restoring the innocence lost
Will You draw near? I pray

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound

Oh Lord, remember Your call to Your own
Remember Your promise to come
Will you draw near?

So come pour Your life, oh, this offering all over me
Come with Your grace that is cleansing and restoring me
Come with Your angels, cover the earth
And hear Your people sing of Your worth

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound

And it’s Your voice I hear calling my name
And it’s Your grace that pours out like the rain
And it’s Your hand that erases my shame
And it’s Your word that is everlasting

We lift our voice to You
A sweet, sweet sound in Your ear Jesus, Jesus
We raise our voice to You
With one sound to You we rejoice

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
