I know that making new year resolutions is "out". Everyone chuckles about broken resolutions and after a couple of weeks of the new year, it's back to business-as-usual. Picking a couple of fresh things to do, and sticking with them, seems to be a better way to go. We have asked our congregation this year to join a read-the-Bible-in-a-year campaign. I have done this for several years, with various Bible-in-a-year tools. I have joined, and if you are reading this, and a member of our congregation, I would hope that you would join us. This year I am using The Message Bible-in-a-year version. And yes, after 7 days, I'm right on schedule.
The other thing I desperately want to find time for is creative planning, writing and recording. I think I may have a book locked up in mind that is trying to get out, and I know there is a Christmas recording trying to make it out. In 2006 I recorded and released a piano CD titled Gentle Worship, Quiet Praise. Almost 1,000 copies are in circulation. I get requests all the time for another recording. For at least the last 18 months I have been mentally planning A Gentle & Quiet Christmas, (the working title). This year it is time to find the time to work on the creativity that will make it happen. What have you resolved to do in 2009? Can you change your routine and schedule to make it happen? Let's check back together in a couple of months and see how we're doing...

Hmm... I have a mental list too. I'd love another CD from you, though, and a book sounds like a neat project.
I couldn't be more proud of you. Thank you for sharing your creativity with all. And thank you for bringing joy and love to my life. I love reading your thoughts. And yes, it's time for new projects. And remember, it only takes one.....
