YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As the first word from me to you in 2009, can I encourage you to read the Bible thru with me this year? There are plenty of tools out there for this, but we've been promoting 'THE DAILY BIBLE.' It walks you through in chronological order and takes away some of the inevitable drudgery that comes when you get to certain spots throughout the year. Mixes it up a little -- and it's available in Spanish as well. In fact, a good friend of mine has posted daily devotionals to go with the readings from 'THE DAILY BIBLE.' You can find those at http://heartofareadywriter.blogspot.com/

Take care of yourself SPIRITUALLY this year. Read thru with us. Get to church.

Take care of yourself PHYSICALLY this year. Eat right. Exercise. Rest well. Play some. Take time off.

Take care of yourself RELATIONALLY this year. Get in a small group. Forgive and let go.

Take care of yourself FINANCIALLY this year. Stop the credit card spending - get out of debt. Tithe and give. Live within your means.

And just as a reminder of how vital all the above things are, remember how fast it all goes by.



And be blessed.
