So how was your Christmas?
Was it a Norman Rockwell Christmas? Or was it a Norman Bates Christmas?
The
week between Christmas and New Years' Day has always been one of my
favorites. Why? It's the best time to reflect on the results of this
waning year and to plan for a productive new one.
How was your
2012? My one word to describe 2012--"bumpy". Highs, lows, sidwayses
(is that a word?). This past year had it all.
But I can look with hope to a new 2013. My mentor, Jim Rohn, has a great quote: "You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight."
That's the hope I have for 2013. If you need this quote to help you through a tough situation, it's yours to keep.
Our
lesson this week is called "The Law: God Gives the House Rules". Let's
set the stage. The Jews have left Egypt. They are in the wilderness
heading for the Promised Land. God wants them to have a list of rules
for them to live by. We know them as the Ten Commandments.
You'd
think that the Jewish people would be thrilled with all God had done
for them. But it didn't go that smoothly. We'll meet Sunday at 9:50
a.m. to get the rest of the story.
To help you along our discussion road, the passages we'll ponder are Exodus 34:1-9, Leviticus 19:1-2, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, and Numbers 14:11-19.
Finish Friday strong. Enjoy Saturday with your family. See you Sunday!
Loyally yours,
Darren Bayne
