And The Winner Is…
Stef is from Hilliard, OH and a Buckeye fan. He is also a contributer on AC180. I almost met Stef last month when I met Aaron. He happened to be tied up that day, but that won’t be the last time I’m down in that area. Here’s a little blurb about what you’ll find on Stef’s blog…
This blog is about a Christian man trying to do the best he can. I am a husband, father, brother and friend. I love my family, which consists of an incredibly fantastic wife and three wonderful kids. I love God. I am not perfect and He knows that and He continues to love me and lead me. I enjoy sports, both coaching and viewing. Everyday is an adventure. This is where this blog fits in.
This blog will reflect my random thoughts on family, life, kids, Christianity, faith, sports, whatever! It will be from my perspected, however slanted that may be. This is the real me, no posers allowed!! I hope that you come back and visit from time to time and my hope is that God will recieve all the glory.
Congratulations Stef! I appreciate your presence on my blog! Expect an email later today with a little prize inside.

Game On
Now that Worship City’s race to 10k is over, it’s time to officially launch my race to 50k. It is tentatively scheduled to happen next weekend while I’m in Austin, Texas, but I’d love for it to happen before I leave.
I like how Conner designed his contest, so I’ll mimic what he did. Here’s how you can get your name in the hat.
1 ENTRY for every relevant* comment made on a post beginning after this post. (This post is excluded from the game).
2 ENTRIES for every link on your site to The Mud Puppy.
5 ENTRIES for every post on your blog dedicated to The Mud Puppy that also links here. (It can’t be about this contest).
Other than the comments, I will be relying on you to tell me of your merits. Simply chronicle them in this post and I’ll take it from there. After we hit 50,000 hits, I’ll take all the entries and pull out a random winner. And what will the winner get?
A $25 Amazon.com Gift Certificate
Game On.
*Any questions that arise during the above contest will be resolved at the sole discretion of The Mud Puppy. Relevant comments do NOT include comments such as “LOL”. Links on your site can include links in posts, but only those posts made after the contest begins, and are limited to one per post. Talleys of everyones entries will be listed in the comments of this post.

One of the very best things about blogging is being able to go back into the archives and read your life like a book. It’s like keeping a diary, but without the flowery notebook under your mattress with a key hidden in the sock drawer.
While browsing for a new “old” post I started wondering what happened to all the peeps that used to frequent this blog back then. Where did they all go? I don’t think it’s because they’re doing more than they were back then. It can’t be because I took some of them off the front page. Perhaps the wonder of the blog wore off. Maybe they don’t like me anymore. Maybe they’re laughing too hard to respond.
Whatever the reason, we sure had some good times back then…

Anyway, most of my readers these days weren’t around for Mud Puppy v1. Of course I would love for everybody to read through my entire archive to catch up, but that’s unreasonable. So I thought I’d dust off a post every now and then and post a link to it over here.
To get us started, here’s one that was written after an intense reading session where I read four influential books in a month.

About Me
I couldn’t let Jason beat me to the punch. I have finally updated my About Me page. It’s actually not the business I’ve been working on for the last three months. I may or may not post that in a seperate page. For now, enjoy this summary of the Mud Puppy. Hopefully there’s something in there you didn’t know before.

5 Things You Don’t Know About Me
I got tagged! My new blogging buddy, Aaron, tagged me with the subject “5 Things You Don’t Know About Me.” So here you go…Enjoy!
1. In my short 31 years I have lived in 4 states (South Dakota, Florida, Arkansas, Michigan), 2 countries (America, Germany), and have attended 11 different schools (college included).
2. I was baptized in 1988 at the Rosebud Church of Christ in Rosebud, Arkansas, but I can’t say that I’ve been truly relational with my Saviour until about 4 years ago. Thanks in no small part to a combination of a Pearl Jam message pit, Third Day, a former coworkers’ agnosticism, and a small men’s group called Construction Zone.
3. I am both a former Military Brat and a Preachers Kid. Do I ever love community!
4. I lettered in college (Harding University). They even gave me my very own leather lettermans jacket with my name stitched into the pocket. The sport, Intramural. I had to play every intramural sport the entire year—including special activities for those of us trying to get the jacket—and accumulate a certain amount of points. There are only a handful that get this every year. It’s one of my favorite accomplishments.
5. I’ve mentioned this before, but I used to be so into rap in middle school, that one day I wore a leather african medallion to school. I had a stereo system in my locker blaring De La Soul and M.C. Hammer, and my lifelong dream was to own a low rider with tinted windows and huge speakers. I’ve since moved on.
There you have it. This reminiscing will go a long way toward the new ‘About Me’ page I’m working on! Now I have to pass the torch to five more. I am tagging the following:
