'08

i am not a fan of "new year's resolutions". maybe because i've rarely kept one. no, i've never kept one. but this year it feels really important to have some idea of the changes and places i'd like to go in my life. it seems like a good time to do some evaluating and goal-making so to speak. i feel the need to make some new commitments to grow the way i want to this year of 2008. so here they are (in no particular order):

*grow more closely to God, become physically more healthy, pursue a deeper level of emotional health
*days off will truly be days OFF (no work, no email)
*i will arrange for a minimum 4 hours a week that is purely time for myself (reading, with friends)
*i will read a minimum of 1 book per month
*pursue a passion outside of ministry
