Resolutions of Sorts

I don’t do resolutions because I have enough failure in my life.

That may be putting it too harshly but then again, maybe not.

I read Mark Batterson’s blog all the time and this is what he threw down today…

“Moving forward, I feel like I need more margin. It comes back to this simple truth: if you don’t control your calendar, your calendar will control you.”

He then hammered out 7 keys for him to achieve this…

1) Put Your Family First
2) Guard Your Day Off
3) Don’t Check Email During Peak Productivity Hours
4) Get Out of the Office Whenever Possible
5) Start Your Day With Devotions
6) Put Together a Stop Doing List
7) Use All Your Vacation Days

This completely hammered me and my heart today…so I decided to have 2 resolutions this new year…

1. Read through the Bible using YouVersion.com on my iPhone.
2. Create more margin in my life with Batterson as my mentor.

And with that…this will be my last post for the next week as I take a week off my blog. Enjoy the new year…and Roll Tide till we meet again.
