2011 is almost over, it's been an eventful year, a growing year, and a challenging year. I found these questions helpful in looking forward to the next year:
1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression than I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
2. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
3. Do I confidentially pass on to another what I was told to me in confidence?
4. Can I be trusted?
5. Am I a slave to dress, friends, work or habits?
6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
7. Did the Bible live in me today?
8. Do I give it time to speak to me every day?
9. Am I enjoying prayer?
10. When did I last speak to someone else of my faith?
11. Do I pray about the money I spend?
12. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
13. Do I disobey God in anything?
14. Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy.?
15. Am I defeated in any part of my life?
16. Am I jealous impure, critical, irritable, touchy or distrusting?
17. How do I spend my spare time?
18. Am I proud?
19. Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?
20. Is there anyone I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? I If so, what am I doing about it?
21. Do I grumble or complain constantly?
22. Is Christ real to me?

Another New Year, time for more thought and pondering
Hello friends and family. I want to thank everyone for your prayers during my major time of need. As most of you know I was burned a month ago (Dec 1st 2007) while outside burning brush. Our last year has been full of ups and downs, but the most important thing is we saw the Hand of God protect us during some very scary events.
Besides being burned, Kimberly had a large growth on a ovary which had to be removed, and my car was stuck in a low water crossing (still not running). But thru the shadow of death, we saw God protecting us each step we trod. On the high notes we see our children grow each day. Also Kimberly and I had an opportunity to again go and work with friends in the Ukraine reach out to more students for the Kingdom of God. God has been so good to us!
This next year is going to be again full of other adventures still unseen, but we know that his providence will cover us completely. My hope for the next year is that I will step out from my comfort zone, and truly stand at the edge of the Precipice and rely only on His faithfulness to truly live my life.

New Blog on Homeschooling
We are actually newbie's to home schooling, but we would like to share what very little we've learned or used that works for us.
And of course we want to keep in touch more with our Friends and Family. While being laid-up after the burns, I learned (and became addicted to) face book, a really cool site for sharing with people. You can now find both Me and Kimberly on the site. Our Prayers are with all of you, and May God Bless you all during this New Year.
