The new year of 2011 started warm and wet here in central Ohio, with temps in the 60s as the day began, and rain, then sunshine and falling temps down into the 30s. Winter will return tomorrow.
Linda and I both have colds this first day of the year; hers is getting better and mine never really took hold, at least not so far. Praise the Lord.
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but I have set some goals for 2011. Here they are:
[1] I want to distribute at least 12 copies of my books, whether free or in sales. I wrote them; I want to get them out there.
[2] I want to finish editing my friend Barb Forsyth’s book Joy Comes in the Morning, and help her get it ready for publication and distribution.
[3] I want to finish and publish my book The Missing Person.
[4] I want to add twelve new pages to my website.
[5] I want to teach a class on How to Write Your Story.
I may think of other goals as I go along. If I do, I will list them here, and indicate the progress made as we go along.
This is the year I turn 70, on June 5. Three score and ten. It occurs to me that I could either die this year, or that Jesus could return and take us all home. I could be absent from the body, but present with the Lord before 2011 ends.
It is all in the Lord’s hands. Whatever He does is fine with me.
But I need to get to work on these goals.
