Here we are, at another New Year. I can’t believe it’s 2020. Time passes so fast. But why was January 1 chosen as the first day of the year? Why not June 1 or September 1? It all has to do with Julius Caesar. In 45 B.C., New Years Day was celebrated for the first time based on what is now known at the Julian Calendar. Thanks to an astronomer who suggested Caesar follow the …
Dear Followers, I just wanted to send a letter to you, the people who follow my blog. A new year is upon us. A time to look ahead and reflect back. One of the best blessings I’ve had over the past couple of years are all the people (almost 6,000) who follow me and keep up with my blog. It just blows my mind that so many people would want to hear what I have …
Most New Year’s blogs will discuss goals, things like weight loss, eating healthier, etc. I thought I’d just send out a jumble of thoughts I’m having right now. First and foremost, I hope you all had a blessed Christmas. I had a great time with my family, especially the four-year-old granddaughter. It’s always great to see the holiday through her eyes. Unfortunately, the older she gets, the more she’ll lose that excitement. I need to …
Again this week, I plan to keep it short. In fact, I want you to participate in this blog. Does time fly? We are coming to the end of 2016 and the beginning 2017 already. As such, that means we all have goals we set. I thought it would be fun to see what some of your goals are. Now, I don’t want the normal – lose weight, get out of debt goals. I want …
Happy New Year. Okay, not quite yet, but it’s getting there. And with a new year, means a whole new set of resolutions to break. I suggest this year, you set no more than five. And make them reasonable. Strive for goals that are reachable. For instance, pay off one credit card instead of all six. Here are three resolutions that might help make the upcoming year one filled with joy and peace: Read the Bible in …
The New Year is upon us. That usually means setting resolutions that will probably be broken by the middle of March. So today instead of looking ahead, how about we pause and reflect on the past year. What were your blessings in 2014? Psalm 20:4 reads, May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. So did all your desires come true? Funny, mine didn’t either. However, I am …
It’s that time of the year. Time to make New Years Resolutions that we’ll eventually break. Most people attempt the same goals year after year. If you’re a Christian, I propose five resolutions that you might actually be able to keep this year. 1. Weight. Worry less about what you see in the mirror and more about what is in your heart. If you do choose to lose a few pounds, do it for your …
Too many of us look behind trying to understand why our lives are the way they are. Sure we’ve all made mistakes that have cost us, whether it be monetary or personal. But how can you ever move forward if you’re always looking behind? How many of us are so set in our ways because of our pasts that we refuse to change at all? With the New Year coming up, instead of looking back, …
