Happy New Year Everyone! Here are a few significant things my wife and I enjoyed from 2005:
1) Biggest Event: We bought our first house.
2) Next Biggest Event: We gained a new niece to our family.
3) Praises: We finally found a new Church Home (Grace Community Presbyterian, PCA).
4) Sad Events: I turned 40 (yuk!)
5) New Creative Event: I started this blog!
6) Best Entertainment: Seeing the broadway musical, Wicked! (We caught it on tour here in Dallas - it was fantastic)
7) Travel: We only traveled once this year - to Minnesota for Christmas.
8) Necessary Event: I added about 100 to 200 new titles to my library :-)
9) A Needed Change: I changed jobs, which was a much needed move.
______________ Intended Goals for 2006 __________________
1) Read more books!
2) Review more books at Amazon (I have actually slipped in the rankings quite a bit).
3) Improve on my blog subjects - man, is that ever needed : - )
4) Add more books to my library (I hope my wife doesn't read this!)
5) Read more Robert Jenson, Karl Barth, and Jaroslav Pelikan (wait, that would fall into the read more books category from #1) Ok . . . . . . . read more books!
6) Actually go to California . . . we have never been and we have family that live there . . . so we need to head west for a vacation this year.
Ok, enough of this . . . We want to wish everyone a very happy and blessed New Year.
Thank you all for reading my meager little blog!

You sound like a book worm, I will have to follow suit as there are so many great books out there.
"Read more books. Add more books to my library..." Hey, this is sounding a lot like my own goals for 2006!
Have you read Pelikan's 5-volume history of Christian doctrine? It's a masterpiece of historical theology, and it's well worth reading right through.
I personally am just praying for the following :
Consistant with my bible reading. Many times I am just more into tangent study of the bible rather than always completing my through the bible in a year.
Also to exercise more with my wife and be more encouraging to others
Actually I will probably write up resolutions like Edwards as well and compare with last years
Ben,
I have read the first volume of Pelikan's 5-volume set, I need to read the other four volumes - thus my goal (along with a few other works by him I recently obtained).

Shawn,
You are correct about consistant bible reading. However, I have been trying to study more of the bible in Greek, since my Greek has gotten so rusty.
Thanks for the comment, I too firmly believe that we should consitantly read the bible (that's a worthy goal).
Ha! That's great Vick. #8 is hilarious. Who in the world (other than you and J. Reed from seminary days) would have a margin of error of 100?!
"I added about 100 to 200 new titles to my library"
That is absolutely hysterical. I hope the smiley means you're partly joking and are a little more exacting in your knowledge of just how many books you did add last year.
But, I'm envious nonetheless. I'd be lucky to pass a year with 10-20 new titles added. In any given year, we seem to add more babies than books to our household. ;-)
