5 Days Until 2009

A new year is quickly approaching! I can’t believe it…2009. happy_new_year

In just 5 days, you won’t be able to find a parking spot at the YMCA…the snack food industry will take a few week dip in sales as people begin to watch what they eat…iTunes sales will be up as people fill their ipod with music for their workout. The resolutions begin.

If you are like me, maybe you’re a bit reluctant to make a resolution because your track record has been about 2 weeks to stick to it, and then it slowly fades away as the newness of the new year disappears.

Last year, I made a commitment to read through the Bible in 2008. In just 5 days, I will complete the goal…and my soul is better for it. Just like physical exercise, 15 minutes/day in spiritual exercise builds up over a 1 year period of time. I invite you to join me as well as several others in 2009 in reading through the Bible…here is the link with the details.

What are some goals that you have for 2009?
