"'Writing is really quite simple; all you have to do is sit down at your typewriter and open a vein.' From the writer's vein into the reader's vein: for better or worse a transfusion" (From F. Buechner's, The Clown in the Belfry, 1992). My purpose in adding my thoughts to the myriad of others available throughout cyberspace is simply to open my own veins, or provide an outlet for self-expression with the hope that my own bloodflow may enhance someone else's Godward heartbeat in the process.

Praying About Resolutions
I'm praying about my New Year's resolutions. It may sound odd that I 'm praying about my choices of how to improve in 2014, but I believe this is actually a sacred priority. Scripture declares that every believer is a work in progress under divine direction, so why would I not seek His wisdom in what my role will be next year in this holy reconfiguration? In fact, I see this as what separates futile self-improvement effort from full-scale rehabilitation. I want Christ to restore His original intent for my life. Although too often I choose to self-deconstruct, this is my opportunity to set things aright. Why not join me in seeking the Father's plans for 2014? I know that I'll be doing this again at the end of next year, but in between I plan to be conformed a little more accurately to the image of Christ.
