Resolved.

November 7th, 2008 | General

Resolved: with God’s help, to lose not another moment of this life to vanity, but to work, study, pray, teach, play, and even rest with all vigor, to the glory of God.*

I’m 30 today.

* (No, this is not one of Edwards’ Resolutions, but it’s partially inspired by them.)

How can someone of your youth be an elder? :-) Happy Birthday!

Hey, there’s actually one guy on our Session that’s younger than me. :) And our elders’ average age is 32.

God’s been good to our church . . . despite the youth of our people, he’s given us leaders who are wise teachers and skilled leaders beyond their years (among whom, I am least).

Happy Birthday, Rae!

After this, you start forgetting how old you are, so it doesn’t matter anymore. :-)

It’s a good resolution, but one that will be terribly hard to keep. But strive.

Tacked on three little words to the beginning to reflect that reality, Geof.
