I bet you'd get an entirely different set of answers if you asked this in a traditional senior citizens Sunday School class.

When Peter and I were single and dating, we weren't "compatible" according to whatever that True site is. Little did they know.

Of course, my only issue with Internet matchmaking is when it happens when one or both parties are married... but that's another story.

Happy early birthday! Can't wait to see what you've got planned!

Wow - that is so cool! God doesn't waste any of our pain.

It's really amazing what God is doing through Dan, and the Idea Camp project. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we can ask or think...

Wow. I am blown away, Heidi, by the truth of your story and the truth of the Healer. Your words about weight and hiding behind it, will help set many free to address their own stories of pain. I'm sending this now to friends who may find it useful. And praying for God to continue to restore the years the locusts have eaten. Blessings to you!

I agree with Ron on this one Mike. The thing I love about this post in particular, is that it shows you're human. So often when I read your posts I think, "Wow! Mike has got it together." And you do. Incredibly so. I'm challenged to be better because of your words and your example.

But (and I say that not in the "in Dale Carnegie 'but' negates everything prior to what you've said" kind of way), but when I see this, I see a person who struggled. Fear, demands, bills, frustration. All there - all great parts of a story. I can relate and I bet a lot of other people can too.

God will use this to bring great encouragement to many who are at crossroads.

Well, I've learned never to say never. Having said that, I don't see a half or full marathon in the future. I have, however, starting running again. 2.5 miles is about my speed so far, but I'm doing it. I've been encouraged by watching you and Mike Hyatt tweet about running. Thanks! You're making a difference far beyond what you know.

Great tips Mike, and I hope to never need them.

By the way, I'm seeing your site as a google 5/10. Looks like someone there was listening.

I love your transparency here. Thanks so much for sharing this. What a blessing, then and now.

Ron, I love what you've been doing with your blog. Can't wait to see what's next!
