life is what you make it...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen.... they're baaaaaaccckk!! The Chickens, that is! (I just love them!)

I thought I would share this one with you all, as we look toward a new year...

Ann Voskamp, over at Holy Experience, wrote a post today called Year Naming. She said it gives her and her family a "destination"... a road map for the year. I like that idea, and I shall think about what my year 2009 shall be named. It will probably be something along the lines of "Gratitude" or "Trust" or "Radical Chaos"... or some such name!

I DO know what it WON'T be named:

GRIM.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary,

but what is unseen is eternal.

~2 Corinthians 4:18

Finally, brothers,

whatever is true, whatever is noble,

whatever is right, whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—

think about such things.

~Philippians 4:8

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11
