Often we take too narrow a view of life like the little twig on the end of furthest limb of a tree. It is vital with buds and blossoms full and fragrant. However, it would be foolish for that little twig to say it had no need of the limb. Cut from the tree it could not survive a single day but it would wither and die. Its beauty and fragrance gone. To be fragrant foliage we must remain attached to the source of our strength. We must study the words of the prophets in the scriptures.

BE RESOLVED
I get promotional emails encouraging me in one way or another. So many of the ideas boil down to what they have to promote doesn't cost much and is something that no informed person can be without. However one particular pundit made a lot of sense. The message was simply - focus. More particularly at this hour when so many of us are making our new year's resolutions - narrow focus to the doable. Don't make a long list - three things at the most. Be specific - it has to be something can be checked off as a "yes" or "no." With that in mind one of the three specific things I will do this year is to read the scriptures cover to cover. I hope you'll make that resolution as well. Come back here tomorrow and we'll get stated together. Just seven pages a day - read them or listen to them. If you choose to listen, keep your book open so that you can mark the verses you want to ponder and pray on. If this is the only resolution you make this year, I promise you that, as you act upon it, it will have a significantly positive impact on your life.
