What Lies Ahead--2006
Will I make resolutions this year? Will I set goals that are attainable? Will I work toward those goals beyond the month of January?
Good questions. I will try and give some answers.
Goals for 2006
- Quit being a church member. I want to be a Christian, a disciple, an apprentice of Jesus. I want to learn what he did and try to become more and more like him. I want to grow myself spiritually and take this grown-up self to worship with other Christians. I will still worship in the same place with the same people. I just don’t want to be defined by my local church. I just want to be a Christian. (although wouldn’t it be great if my church were defined by me….and it was a good thing!)
- Get organized. I have paid lip service to this in the past but have lacked the motivation to take it beyond that. The reason I want to be organized is to allow myself more time to enjoy the things that I want to do, while still getting the things done that I HAVE to do. This will not be the flip of a switch for me. It will require an ongoing commitment.
- Write it down. I want to start a “journal” of sorts for each of my grandchildren. I want to have that as a gift for them later in their lives. I also want to spend some time with my Mom & Dad and get there story “down”.
- Get fit! I am not going to obsess about weight or inches, but I want to be in good shape. I made major improvements in 2005 but I want to keep going just to keep this earthly house in the best shape that I can.
- Become a people person. I want to know people better. I want to be a friend, a helper, an advocate and sometimes even a confronter. I want to experience the joys and yes the sorrows of making myself more open and accessible to people.
I have specific fitness goals that I will outline in my 40 Days of Fat- Buying the Farm. If you click on the link above it will give you our main web-site, but I will try and get mine up today.
I also have several specific goals that will be part of the other major goals. I am ready to get started….well actually I have started!

The palm pilot synchronized with microsoft outlook, has done wonders for getting my life organized. The new Palms are very user friendly and work great if you use them.
Your journal idea is great. I have been begging my mom for years to write down her story... married at 15, first kid at 17, following my dad all over the country as he worked on pipelines... meeting all sorts of people. Haven't convinced her to do it yet. I guess next time I see her (whenever that is), I'll have to just sit her down with a tape recorder and interview her.
Did you intend the pun in the title? Often my resolutions are the equivilent of lies:)
BTW, this Auburn fan was willing the wounded duck kick of Bama's over the cross bar. I even raised my hands in "it's good" came out of my mouth. I was glad Bama actaully brought their defense to the game. I am not sure where Auburn's was.
