Happy New Year

Lest it appear that I am shirking my blog, let it be known that I'm taking a one week blogging fast. It feels like God is calling me to fast from the digital world (including television) for a week. I'm trying to be obedient to what I believe are God's promptings in my life -- why should we expect God to speak to us if we don't obey Him when He does?

I'll be back next Sunday.

I know that "New Year's Resolutions" are difficult if not impossible to follow through on, so I don't normally make Resolutions. But this morning at Church on the Rock, the following song lyric struck me as a fitting resolution for 2005:

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes from evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be a generation
That seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
