Brothers and sisters –

How are your 2009 resolutions coming along? The New Year offers a perfect time for self-evaluation and a natural starting point for initiatives aimed at improving our lives. In 2008 I focused on renewing and building upon my prayer life. I enjoyed our study in the 30s and 40s class. It helped. This year I am going to tackle my health. I want to better seek the Lord with my entire being, including the body in which He dwells.

Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

- 2 Corinthians 7.1

My goal is to lose 60 pounds by December. I will place my progress on the side of this page, indicating how many pounds I have left to lose (+60….+58…+43…etc). If you would like to join in let me know. I will post your progress beside mine as an act of accountability.

What are you working on? Use this post as a forum to comment and dialogue about any area of life you are attempting to bring into greater submission to our Lord.

(I have removed our posts from last year in order to give us a new start. If you want to go back and look at any of these let me know, and I will open them back up.)

God be with you always.

Your brother – Brian
