I opted to rest and let the blog slide. I will do more writing soon.

About the time of BRMCWC, I felt as if God was saying, "Study to show yourself approved. Be quiet. Be still. Study." So, I write in spurts which drives me nuts, but I know I am being obedient. Let me know what you discover as you ponder in 2013!

For me the rate of change in technology is overwhelming. I'll never catch up and that nearly drives me nuts at times especially as I try to define my mission and how to accomplish it. Like you, I have to slow down and say, "Am I pursuing what God called me to do?" If not, what I'm doing won't succeed anyway, so why am I driving myself nuts? I think it may be a battle I'll always fight!

I don't do silence well, but I think my word for 2013 is ponder so looks like I'll get some practice. <br /><br />Love, love, love the song "Mary Did You Know?" My favorite during this time of year.

As much as the 'me, me me' in me wants to 'hit the blog big-time', my truest hope is that those looking for and wrestling with faith will find me, know they are not alone, and find peace in Christ.
