Did I change the world? No. Did I move mountains? Probably not. Did I become rich and famous? Ha! But I don't think I wasted the year either. Maybe that's what resolutions are really all about. Not what a crappy person you are for not being able to keep them but what a real person you are for not wanting your year to be wasted time. So, in honor of that, knowing full well that the year will be made up of pitfalls and speed bumps, here are my goals for 2014.
- I will pray every day. For the next 365 days, either on paper or verbally, I will spend time talking with the Creator of the universe, even if it is only one sentence. He deserves at least that much of me.
- I will drink nothing but water (or Gatorade, for medical reasons) this year. No tea, Dr. Pepper, coffee, etc. Just water.
- I will read at least one book of the Bible per month, beginning with Psalms in January. Our pastor has issued the challenge to read the book of Psalms in 31 days. I'm going to try to beat this challenge.
That's it. Those are my goals. Oh, I'm going to try to exercise, eat right, and check some more stuff off the bucket list, but these three are the ones for which I'm going to ask people to help hold me accountable. Check back December 31, 2014. We'll see how it goes.
