Middle age – accepted the truth

44 this week – did something never done before – resolutions – 6 of them

3rd quarter of life – coming out of locker room after halftime

Made me think – what do I want? What does God want?

Trip to NC to see family – first time together since dad died 5 years ago

Long, long trip – glacial

Somewhere along the way – got a lot of clarity

Best part of trip was talking with daughters

Took it seriously – second half now

Coincides with New Year's – never done resolutions before – waste of time

49% do them – 8% actually achieve them

You may think they are are waste of time – I always have

But something happened to me this go-round – you're gonna wanna hear this

Just may convince you to write down something – take a few minutes to pray or focus today and get er done

First show of new year

I went about it a different way this year – because I am middle aged

Most resolutions – smoking, exercise, make money



What's important to me?

What does God desire from my life?

And some major things are happening this year – don't want to miss those

So somewhere in the middle of eastern NC – desolate – OMG

They came to me – 6 things I will focus on this year

Why 6, not 10? Why not 4? Don't know – 6 came to me – 6 things important

Wrote those down scribbling – little Holiday Inn sheet of paper

Then took what Izzo taught me on show last time – commitment cards

Little card, with plan jotted on it – carry with me in pocket

Action plan so I actually do something

So listen and want you to tell me what I am missing? What have you learned that I need to know – halftime – taking steps to get the most meaning from my life

What's on your list?
