Rearranging My Resolutions

Posted on by

I’m really not one to tackle New Year’s resolutions. Not sure if it is a fear of failure or just plain laziness.  But, in the last week several  emails about resolutions and personal goals have peppered my inbox so I guess I will give them a second look.

Though I don’t normally put them on paper, my TYPE A personality doesn’t allow me to move forward in a new year with out at least a twinkle of a few goals in the back of my mind.

~MY goal for 2011 is to have my book published.

~MY goal for 2011 is to minister to women in their twenties — reaching out and letting them know that Christ is King of Kings and LORD of Lords in every single part of their life.

~MY goal for 2011 is to live and serve more humbly in my role as wife and mother.

These goals at face value might seem noble and worthy, but take a look at the emphasis I put at the front end of each goal…MY goal… Continue Reading »»

Y.O.U. and M.E. hmmmm…Maybe our best worship that we give to Him is more meaningful than the enormous sounds of that grand multitude? Continue Reading »»

Political Rant

I admit it, I’m a political junkie.  I also admit that I am facinated with analyzing political issues with a Biblical Worldview lens.  So, if you will indulge me every so often on this blog, I’ll share my rants and raves and hopefully get a good convo started here!

Today’s political rant:

As much as I don’t want to give this group lip service on the world wide web, I must mention their name so as to call attention to the atrocities of the Westboro Baptist Church.  {just typing the word church and associating it with this group makes my skin crawl}  In short, this group notoriously protests funerals around the nation, namely those of fallen soldier’s in protest to various political issues such as gay rights.  The hurtful actions of this cult dishonor the brave men and women who’ve lost their lives serving the very country that allows the protestors to do just that…protest.  I can’t imagine additional pain inflicted on the soldier’s families due to the misguided and non-Biblical actions of the people from WBC.
