Resolved: In 2009 . . .
Wow . . .
It’s hard to believe 2008 is over and 2009 has begun.
But here I am at the Dunkin’ Donuts on Coldwater Blvd in Fort Wayne writing my first blog post of the new year. (By the way, as Dunkin’ Dounuts go, this one is swank. Plus free wi-fi. A great place for some blogging on the run.)
I find myself marveling this morning. I’ve been out in public on the major “days after” this year. The morning after Thanksgiving was a madhouse. The morning after Christmas, likewise. Maybe even worse. But the morning after New Year’s Eve might as well be the morning after the Apocalypse. It’s like I have the whole world to myself. Well, me and the hosts of Fox & Friends on Dunkin’s big screen. Apparently they didn’t make the rapture either.
This New Year’s morning, I’m thinking about resolutions. I’ve never been much of a New Year’s resolutions kind of guy. In fact, I can’t remember ever making any in the first 34 years of my life. But this year I’ve spent a good amount of my Christmas break re-thinking my life and ministry, evaluating what is and trying to envision what can be. And so it is that I’m ready to do some goal setting for 2009.
So, without further ado, here they are . . .
