On the last day of 2009, I am reflecting at the year and decade previous. I got married, had a family, started a career, dealt with personal and professional problems, and raised children. I could go on about some great philosophical idea that I have learned, but I will settle for this simple list.
Things I learned in the last decade
1. Faith is a muscle. It needs to be stretched in order to grow.
2. I would never trade youth for experience.
3. Being a parent is about trying to do the right thing everyday.
4. Remember everyday your not a good parent tomorrow is another chance to try again.
5. God meets you where you are not in the "Church."
6. God works miracles even in the modern age you just have to expect them.
7. Random events are not random at all just God's plan.
8. Money is not important.
9. Family is important.
10. Live for today. Tomorrow is gone. The future is uncertain. Live today for God's glory by loving God and loving your neighbors.
Happy New Year.
