New Year's Resolutions

Normally I set a bunch of annual goals rather than making resolutions. And I still might do that some, especially with my business and with ministry. But to be honest, I sense that God is calling me to a different focus this year. Not so much about bettering "me." In fact, a reduced "me" focus is called for. Goals this year will be focused on ways for me to grow relationships (with God and others) and ways I can serve others.

Maybe I'll toy around with heightening all 5 senses, not just physically, but internally:
Focus
Taste
Feel
Hear
Smell
Savor

Let's see how that shapes up this year.

Proverbs 34:8 (NLT) Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

Relationship Res-Q

My friend, Patricia Durgin has started a great blog called Relationship Res-Q that helps find new solutions to old problems in relationships, whether it's a misunderstanding, a quarrel, despair or abuse.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd go check out her blog and read the posts that she loads every Thursday. As you read them, you will think of someone who needs the article even more than you--so feel free to pass the word along. And if the article touches you, please leave a comment on her site. It will help her know if she is hitting the mark, and what you want/need from her future articles.

Her real life illustrations and practical, biblical solutions are right on target!
