There are a few things that I am always working on, that can't really be called New Year's Resolutions because I have been working on most of them my entire adult life. They include, but are not limited to:
reading my Bible every day:
reducing the muffin top I have been battling since having the two PKs:
parenting with purpose:
and taming my tongue:
But the NEW resolution this year was to read more. PD says this is not possible and thought I was being sarcastic when I mentioned it, but I am completely serious. I want to read a bunch of books particularly on the lives of the saints and heroes of the faith. John Piper and Beth Moore both suggest it as a way to grow spiritually. I used to like to do this when I was a kid, but have not read one in a loooong time. I am now almost done with John Paton.
I also want to finish this:
It gives the most thoughtful and precise answers to questions and accusations from people who think that Christianity is archaic or closed minded or just one of many choices. I highly highly recommend it.
OK, I have to go...when I left off my reading in the John Paton book, he had been hiding in a tree for two days to escape the cannibals!

I admire your resolutions. I'm reading an updated version of Peace Child. Imagine taking your infant to live among cannibals and headhunters.
