Once Upon A Time In the Midwest

Are you a New Year's resolution person? Do you get excited about living in a year that nobody has ever lived in before?

We enter today into the unknown territory that's called 2010. Are you looking forward to this step on your life journey or are you embarking with trepidation wondering what's ahead? I think all of us have a little of both as we start January, 2010.

I am a New Year's resolution person. One of my goals for the upcoming year is to read through the Bible. Being a people person, I'd like to invite you to accompany me on my journey through God's Word this year. Three chapters a day and we can make it.

As I write, I can see the New Year's moon rising over the snow covered lake. A New Year's moon only occurs once every nine years. That makes this year special. Maybe you've been making resolutions for nine years to read through the Bible. Let this be the year that we do it together.

A new moon, a new year, a new blog! And, how about a new trip through the Bible?

There's a wonderful song that includes the words:

"Come on along, it's the song of Jesus,
Day after day, I hear His song."

That's the way I feel about the Word of God. It's His map through life. Day after day, we can hear His song if we read together everyday. His song is the song of joy as we enter the unknown days that await us.

We don't have to enter the new year alone. His word can be the lamp to our feet and the light to our path.

Let's enter the new year together as we read His word everyday.

I'll be reporting in along my journey.

Happy New Year!
