New Year
Wow. I got through all of December without posting a thing. That’s amazing. But not very surprising.
It’s obvious to most Christians that Christmas is a pretty big deal every year. What I didn’t appreciate until this year is how much work goes into every December. I’m really thankful to say that we had a pretty special Christmas time at Pine Ridge this past year, but I think I also have a much better expectation for what it’s going to look like next year. Honestly, it has me excited for what we can do with the resources we have, many of which I didn’t even know about until this past month. Already I’ve got little dreams and ideas that I want to capture and develop so that 2007’s programs are even better than those of 2006.
This past week has been really exciting and exhausting. I’ve been at home with my parents, getting to visit with my older brother, his wife, and my little nephew Noah. All this family stuff is really exciting, but I get to the end of the day and wonder where all the time disappeared to. It’s a good thing I didn’t make more New Years Resolutions, because I’d already be breaking them.
Speaking of New Years Resolutions, I’d like to update this little blog more often, but I’m not going to go so far as to make it a resolution or anything. That would be foolish, because - like I said - I know I’d break it. I’d rather just do it, or not do it, and let it develop as it does. Maybe that sounds like too much resignation, but it feels accurate to me for right now.
