It's a new day

Every day presents us with the opportunity for change. Every channel, every reporter and every person seems ready and poised for wonder of a new year. Whats so important or powerful about January 1st. Just changing the calendar change the Earth's rotation of affect the seasons?

No!

We become so captured by gimmicks that we don't see the everyday opportunities. Everyday you lay your head on the pillow, there's a chance for change. If things are going terribly wrong, should you wait for New Years Eve to plan a fresh start?

No!

Take charge of you life and realize that no gimmicks or magic potions are necessary. Motivation and discipline are the only things that matter. True change starts within not with the change of the calendar. No change in the date is gonna help me lose weight. I need to eat better and exercise. But, if you need some motivation and New Years provides that spark, don't let me rain on your parade.

Personally, I am excited about the New Year. There are some great things that I need to accomplish and leave a mark on my profession. Michelle Obama has created the holiday theme in the White House of Reflect, Rejoice and Renew.

I reflect on the choice Tanya and I made to begin attending Flamingo Road Church. It was truly one of the most important and powerful decisions we have made. I was formerly under the impression that my personal relationship with Christ meant that I didn't need to attend church. Was I ever wrong. For the first time in my life, I look forward to attending church every weekend. I can't begin to the you how that one action has redirected me and returned me to the life that I already knew. Being good all by yourself really serves none. Tanya and I were baptized together this year and soon we will renew our vows in a church in the presence of God and not a justice of the peace.

Ok...I'm done for now. I wish everyone the best the year has to offer. Everyone has a open invitation to join Tanya and I at church.
