This Year's Goals

I've sat down and worked out a list of things I want to accomplish this year. Goals that will further my life in great ways, help me to learn and re-learn useful skills, set me on the right course for me life, and draw me nearer to my Lord. When I first sat down to make this list I thought it would be hard. I thought I'd never come up with enough things to keep me busy this year and that I'd end up with an empty, pointless year. However, within 10 minutes I had a wonderful list of goals for the year. I have so many I'm not sure I can complete all of them. But even if I only finish half of what I have planned my life will be very enriched. I want to share my list with you so you can be encouraged and so that I can be held accountable.

2. Finish reading throught the Bible


3. Memorize several passages of scripture
