1st January 2012

It's time for a New Years Resolution. Last night, we could celebrate the end of 2011 and welcome in 2012. New Years Eve is always a special night. There's something exciting about staying up till 12 and having lots of good food and drink with company of family and friends. It's a time of reflection, thinking back upon the last year- its ups and downs, its joys and sorrows, its good days and its bad. There's a lot to think about. Personal growth, family life, friends, the church community, the wider society, the world... the weather, politics, crime, work and business, our assets and bank balance... our personal achievements, the goals we reached, and the aims we didn't quite conquer... and then it's time to make some new goals. Time to think of a new aim for 2012.

Randomiser (2015) - that's me- conducted an uneducated survey this week, and improper results suggest some rather imaginative statistics. When Perth citizens were quizzed about their NYRs, the results were rather fishy. Approximately 70% of participants focused on shellfish ideas about losing weight or increasing muscle mass. Another 15% took the bait when it came to career ambitions, or finding a new job. Herring some people talk about new outsanding house plans got rather boring after a while- that's another 10%. The remaining 5% were either hooked on drifting with the current themes, or something along the line of seagreed, or moving about frequently like prawns in a chess game. So, in summary, 100% of Perth citizens would love to sea themselves in a better financial situation that's not too tight around the belt.

On a more serious note, I'm not one for NYRs. But this year is a little bit different. I'm not sure if I've ever shared this song on my blog before, but it will always be a favourite. This is my NYR for 2012. That God will take and mold me, because I don't want to go through the motions, but live each day with passion for God and His glory.



To my blog readers, I wish you God's blessings for 2012. May it be a year full of joy and happiness, and may God continue to guide and protect you on the path of life. Continue to put your strength and trust in Him. And let him who glories, glory in the Lord.
