I have a habit of looking back and feeling utter embarrassment... Thank you, Facebook, for the "On This Day" feature. As it turns out, I'm not nearly as impressive as I thought I was ten years ago (go figure!) As brutal as the passage of time can be, the richness of perspective and lasting friendships is something I value deeply.

I'm still pondering the new page on the calendar... A new year. Going forward, less about me; more about others. Less self-awareness; more God-awareness. More being still and knowing the reality of Who He is.

1 Cor. 13:1 - "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."

I think we have enough gongs and cymbals. I'd like to say that I'm done with those days. I certainly hope so.
