New Year Post

Well, a new year is upon us. This is the obligatory New Year Post with my New Year resolutions or goals or whatever you want to call them. I really only have three New Year resolutions so here they are.

To cultivate a more prayerfully minded life by using a daily prayer guide, reading a daily prayer blog and reading a prayer article once a week.

To accomplish non-relational tasks but necessary (I am still not sure these exist) tasks in a more timely manner by making a daily to do task checklist.

To be more disciplined in caring for my body's health and fitness by losing 3o lbs. and increasing my maximum bench press to 300 lbs.

I am actually pretty excited about these three goals. There's plenty of other things I need and perhaps should do in the coming year, and I hope that I am mindful of other growth areas in my life but these are the big three for 2008. I will try to keep you updated on my progress through out the year.

This month I am using the North American Missions Prayer Gram prayer calendar for my daily guide and I am reading the IBSA Prayer Ministries Blog. I plan to read an article from my wife's copy of Prayer Magazine. On January first my max bench press was 240 lbs. and I started my new bench press and weight lifting routine today. Up till now I was sort of making it up myself, but I did some research and now have a new routine. Oh, I weighed in at (gulp) 215 lbs. So do you have any New Year Resolutions?
