Hello, 2010.
Generally speaking, I don’t partake in New Year’s Resolutions. I tend to think they’re trivial and sort of a perfunctory and halfhearted attempt at improving one’s self. People tend to pick something, break their resolution once, and then give up and go back to their old routine of doing what it was they were trying to stop doing before hand.

Undiscovered Blessings: Now is the Time
…for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. -Philippians 2: 13
You are right where God needs you to be.
We spend too much time wishing for the future and reminiscing on the “good” days of the past. When we find ourselves in a period of difficulty or on the brink of an exciting adventure, we often forget to consider...
