Each year about this time, I get all excited for the New Year. January 1 is one of my favorite days, marking the start of something new. For me, that newness is related to an assessment of the year that is ending and a vision for the year that is…
New Year’s resolutions
Each year I include Bible reading goals in my New Year’s resolutions. I am always excited about digging into the Word and meeting my God for a feast in the year to come. Some people may think that starting a Bible reading plan on January 1 is trite. Lots of…
How grateful I am to have a few days this week to decompress! I get to read, rest, reflect—three of my favorite R-word activities! It seems that 2011 was in short supply of all these, although some changes throughout the year just may be culminating into a fresh New Year….
Today is the last day of 2010. I’ve already done plenty of assessing about the past twelve months to get closure. I am ready to look ahead and dream a little and put some goals on paper (electronically speaking). Lots of people dislike New Year’s resolutions. I find them charming….

We’re one week into the new year. How are your resolutions holding up? I’m already behind. You see, I’m still pondering my goals and dreams for 2008. I haven’t even put them to paper yet. Even though my goals are still in process, I feel oddly at ease about it….
