December 29, 2006

Good Morning! The year is waning fast towards a new year of hope and resolution. Traditionally we make several resolutions at the beginning of each year. This changing of the year I will resolve to add cardio workouts to my Bowflex workouts, reduce my credit card debt, payoff my truck, keep my yard better than I did last year and to have a heart of love. What do you have in store for yourself this year? We may not achieve all of our resolutions, but I think it’s good to try each year. Resolving to improve something about our lives shows that we still love ourselves. A resolution also shows that we are not so overcome with pride that we can find no area in which we need to improve. Do not be ashamed to make those resolutions and do not be ashamed to make them public. If we fail in our resolutions, then let’s make a March resolution or even a January 31st resolution if we must. Many resolutions only last 2 weeks, so we may have to make a mid-January resolution to review our resolutions! Above all trust in the Lord and know that He loves you no matter what happens.
This year you might resolve to send those blessings, your children, to Maranatha Bible Camp for a week or two of Christian fellowship while you and the your spouse take a little trip of your own. One of the problems in the world of Islam is the early training the kids receive in hatred. Christian summer camps are a good way to teach children to love each other and those bachelors who do not keep their yard very well since they are working and going to college at the same time and… Okay, I think we know who that is; we can also support Maranatha by giving directly.

May God grant us wisdom in making our resolutions for 2007
