December 31st - Hoping for the best next year - planning to do my part

The story...

Twenty four has been my favorite number for as long as I can remember.  The number feels even, comfortable, and strangely offered an optimistic spin for the year.  The Ford Motor Company built our new Ford Maverick pickup truck during the last week of January and I planned to Uber driving with it beginning this spring.  While Uber driving, I hoped to meet, and serve, many people by helping them reach their destinations.  Yes, I'm planned to do my part toward making 2024 a good-to-great year.

My new years resolution was to pray, followed by meditation, for at least ten minutes per day for 100 consecutive days.  Why?  A good friend did something similar, I had the power to make the change happen, and the life change seems to offer only upsides.

Did I track my progress?  Yes, I wish that I didn't need to but experience says that my tracking helps me meet practice and sustain good-living habits.  In reality, my prayer and meditation life drifted to the more normal state; yet, "righter."

The only church in town will share about God's promises for a relationship with Him that trusts in His provision.  Prayer and quietly listening is part of that relationship.

Happy new year friends!
