Resolutions for 2009

1)Read the Bible through-I will do this by setting aside time each morning to read the chapters that are prescribed in the ESV reading plan in the back of my Bible. I will try to read 2 sections per day so that if I miss a day, I will be ahead.

2)I resolve to speak kindly to my beloved and sweet wife. I will do this by praying that God gives me the grace to remember she is not a man; she needs me to speak sweetly to her.

3)I resolve to read 3 books to my son each night that I am home.

4)I resolve that to the best of my ability, I will find a church that is biblical, missional, and has music that points me back to the cross and the work of Jesus on my behalf. I will do this by attending various churches for the first 4 months of the year, then talking with my wife about our experiences, then praying that the Holy Spirit would lead us to the right one.

5)I resolve that I will record my worship songs I have written in an album form. I will do this by spending less time on stupid Facebook, and more time organizing and arranging my songs; planning out the recording project.

6)My sixth resolution is a private one. God help me to honor You in all I do.

Oreo

Could there ever be a better
Chocolate crunch and creamy paste?
Each bite worth a six page letter
To describe the lovely taste.

Dark and crunchy, sweet and smooth
Takes away the chocolate blues.

Sweet perfection in confection,
Strong you are to eat just two.

Perfect sandwich, work of art
Grab one side and twist apart.

Now before you is a test:
Frosting first or eat the rest?
