End of the year blog
I can sum up my year in visits that I made Thursday night. One visit was to Legacy Emanuel children's Hospital, the other was to the Multnomah County Justice Center.
My nephew, Warren Mattox had "Finished with Chemo" party in his battle with cancer. Please see the link on the side that says "Warren". That link will take you to his website.
We went to visit my sister-in-law, Lydia, who is waiting for her trial on aggravated murder. We took my cousin from Norway to visit her also. Please be praying for Lydia so that she can continue to grow and heal.
THE NEW YEAR 2006
I do not make new year resolutions because they are doomed to failure if not backed by will and commitment to follow through. An external motivator such as the "new" year is not going to help us maintain our commitment.
Instead of new year resolutions we should realize the following is always happening to us because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.
1. We are new creation in Christ!
2. We are to train ourselves to be godly!
3. Because God is at work in us!
May God bless you in this New Year.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation......."
1 Timothy 4:7-8
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Philippians 2:12-13
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed; not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence; continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

Good vision Glen. I will keep you in prayer as you work to attaining these things--as I know that you will pray for me to also attain these.
