I haven't heard from her in a bit and the holidays have kept my head spinning with activities, but we had talked about starting a group and were building a list of books to choose from, though we haven't gotten very far. So you can tell her I haven't forgotten her - or you for that matter. It's great to hear from you.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-8567138990913578332009-01-05T06:09:00.000-08:002009-01-05T06:09:00.000-08:00Is 'N' someone I know?It's a really impressive lis...Is 'N' someone I know?<BR/><BR/>It's a really impressive list and a bit humbling as I haven't aimed for anything spiritual in my New Year's Resolutions.<BR/><BR/>God's grace be with you this year.Little Pomegranatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749684196801087186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-46627742859309808222009-01-04T00:23:00.000-08:002009-01-04T00:23:00.000-08:00Chris,Thanks for stopping by.

You are honest about the struggles, and give glory to the One who enables and strengthens us according to His will! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I am going to look for the Owens book. I am quite certain that I have more than one mortifying sin that the Lord and I could confront this year.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your faith walk and encouraging the rest of us in the process.

I haven't actually done any of those things yet (well, except constantly striving to mortify that particular sin). Romans, well, I chose it because I'm already so familiar with it that it seems almost wrong that I haven't gone the last leg and committed it to memory. <BR/><BR/>A blessed New Year to you all and your families - and many thanks to God for your friendship.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-25355690375122976522009-01-02T09:28:00.000-08:002009-01-02T09:28:00.000-08:00OH...MY...WORD!Girl, I have to give you kudos for ...OH...MY...WORD!<BR/><BR/>Girl, I have to give you kudos for guts.

These are good resolves, and just to keep moving consistently toward their fulfillment is a victory that glorifies God.

Your list is very ambitious and He will give you the strength and wisdom to complete all that He has planned for you. But we must cooperate. Have you heard of Ken Boa? Chuck Colson wrote about his book club that includes many of the Christian classics. You get a CD that discusses the book and a way to interact. It might be worth checking out. I think his website is kenboa.org. Actually, I found a link on Breakpoint at http://www.breakpoint.org/generic.asp?ID=6783. It's called the great books CD series. Anyway, just wanted to let you know about that after reading your great post on resolutions.Debbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-15964425638690985412009-01-02T06:22:00.000-08:002009-01-02T06:22:00.000-08:00Excellent post, Laurie.

Too often these lists are about us, not Him.<BR/><BR/>It is funny we both talked about resolutions today, but I am moving in a different direction.<BR/><BR/>I see you changed templates, I like the look but wish blogger has a 3 column format.Ancotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867701557331682926noreply@blogger.com
