RESOLUTIONS
I use post it notes to brainstorm the resolutions. It is my way of saying, "they're just ideas, so if you don't do them, you don't have to feel guilty about it." When we do this in a group, after sharing some of the reflections above, we take a break to individually do the brainstorming, then come back together to share a few. It's fun because we find that some of us have the same goal, and realize that we can do it together. I have 6 categories for brainstorming resolutions:

• Physical
  
• Spiritual
  
• Service
  
• Important Relationships
  
• Professional/Intellectual
  
• Adventure/Risk

On the afternoon of the 2nd, we'll tackle the Post it Note Resolutions. Consider posting a resolution on the wall here to inspire the others!


If I don't get to see you, here's wishing you a blessed Christ focused Christmas, and a wonderful New Year!
