Out with the old, in with the new

Do y’all make New Year’s resolutions?  I never really have.  I figure God has a work to do in me pretty much on a daily basis, so… well, you know. 

But, there is a lot of good that comes from setting goals and planning for the future. 

I looked up the top 10 New Year’s resolutions for 2009.  Here they are:

1.  Spend more time with family and friends

2.  Fit in fitness (exercise)

3.  Tame the bulge (diet)

4.  Quit smoking

5.  Enjoy life more (reduce stress)

 

6.  Quit drinking

7.  Get out of debt/Save money

8.  Learn something new

9.  Help others

10.  Get organized

Did yours make the list?

If I were to make New Year’s resolutions, I would have these on my list:

Pray more

Spend more time in God’s Word

If you’re interested in reading the Bible through in 2009, starting tomorrow, our pastor is beginning a new blog, called “Living by the Book” which will include a daily devotional and suggested reading that will take you through the entire Bible this year!!  To access it, click here.

Thank you all for reading my blog this year – your comments really make it so much more fun!!  I look forward to reading about all of your lives throughout the coming year.

I hope that your New Year’s Eve is safe and fun and filled with friends and laughter – and that 2009 is a year of great blessing for you all!!

Happy New Year!!
