im glad im no longer living by others standards of what is good or should be good or acceptable. new years was great. many would look at me strange if i said that after explaining the extent of my activities on new years eve. and yes there were things that i would have rather done. they might have been more fun, but overall, i was in the right place. and hearing that still small voice call me to start a tradition.

i dont have a list of activities or multiple great events that happened which i can give you rapid-fire. what i have is the feeling that i made a valued investment of my time and energy into my friends to maintain those relationships. and i felt i was open and willing to listen when i was called and instructed. it was great. this will probably be the most memorable new years and for mostly good reasons.

before you can rush into battle to serve your king, you have to get on your knees and recognize him as you Lord.
