As we enter into a new year, what is one hope, one wish, and one dream that you have?

A hope is something bigger than yourself but something you can play a part in.

A wish is something that you have no control over but you would love to see happen.

A dream is personal and something that you can work toward accomplishing.

My hope? That Christians would model the Beatitudes and fruit of the Spirit in every aspect of life.

My wish? That I am hosting a whole heap of Red Wings playoff games parties.

My dream? That I create content that helps people to #LoveWell.

How about you?

Currently reading: Revelation for Everyone by N.T. Wright šŸ“š

Sharpening up my Revelation perspectives. Beginning in January 6, I will be teaching Revelation and renewing the Beyond Sunday School podcast. #HereWeGo

It was great to finish the year with a good lift. Finishing strong!

One of the things that I have appreciated over the years is the Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings. Vanderbilt University offers a means by which you can subscribe to them in your calendar.

Itā€™s a great way to expose yourself to wide ranges of the Scripture each day.

Finished reading: Firefight by Brandon Sanderson šŸ“š

Another really fun read from Sanderson. A very different take on the superhero genre meets a coming of age tale. I enjoyed it! On to the nextā€¦

Merry Christmas!

We are reminded today that the kingdom of God breaks into the world not by might but in meekness.

The powers of this world shattered by the cry of an infant in the arms of a mother watched over by a guardian father in obscurity.

I am grateful for last night and our Christmas Eve gathering. It was wonderful to simply sing and hear the lessons again.

Merry Christmas to you all!
