December 31, 2007 By the time many of you read this it will be 2008. So
what does this year mean to you? What will it mean for us? Kent and I always take the time out to write down our
reflections of the past year and our goals for the new year. It really
isn’t a “new year’s resolution” list—it’s a list on which we can gauge
our progress and keep us focused throughout the new year. It never ceases to amaze me how there is always
something that has occurred this year that I would have never have
imagined at the beginning of last year. The “something” might be a
national occurrence or it might be something a little closer to home—of
course, these can never be predicted. But what I can predict is
increasing my prayer time, my Bible reading, and improving myself in a
number of ways. Sometimes I have found people who smirk at others who
make lists regarding their future; well, I smirk at them for not
making goals/plans for their future. Tonight I hung a little sign over
my stove that signifies my motto for this year, “Simplify—Live
Simply, Live Well.” I intend to do this—with stuff and with
commitments; the truth is I will probably spend all of 2008 trying to
simplify! Re: “Dear
Mommy-Jo and the Wildebeesties” Thank you for the wonderful article of faith. Karen
and I love you and your family just like our own. God Bless you real good; Love, Lloyd Squires, Missouri Re: “Art” What in the world are you all talking about? Why do
Apostolics even act so afraid of nudity when they watch all the crap
they want on the TVs they are not supposed to have or at other people’s
homes. I was in it for a while but I went to a Charismatic church
because at least there they do it in the open and not in secret as long
as the cliques are in it. Sick sick sick. Wake up and get real! It is wrong but not just because you felt like saying
today but tomorrow you’re at your cousins or someone’s watching Will
and Grace. All fake! I got sick of it. It’s rare that you
find a church that actually holds to the unbiblical rules. A set
free Coloradan. Name Withheld, Colorado Re: “Forbidden
to Attend Church” Joanne, this was a very encouraging article for those
of us who know young people not permitted to attend services. Bless you
for taking the time to write your story. Tulla Priessler, Minnesota © 2007, ninetyandnine.com --------- |
