New Year's Resolution(s)

We are not the type to get much into holidays, of any sort. Birthdays, Labor Day, Christmas, Mardi Gras, you know, all those days that keep you pushing forward. We're of the sort that try to appreciate and celebrate certain truths woven into the thread of our lives. Not that we're against holidays, or those that chose to celebrate the traditional way, we just subscribe to a different way of celebrating. As the years go by, we have noticed time gradually increase in speed. We have found ourselves asking the questions, "What ever happened to that year 2005?" and "How were we used to impact others for the glory of God in 2006?" For that reason, we have sought to look back on a year's worth of memories and reflect on a month by month basis. We see how events and people have come into our lives and shaped our minds and judge more objectively their impact. We also look ahead at what this next year could be and what we should resolve to make different. More than resolutions, I would say we set goals. We do not start the year at where we want to be by the end of it. Slow and steady wins the race. Our main goal this year is to learn more.
