My guess is you will find what I have found...what readership during the holiday season? I do agree with your thoughts here. Many people expect things to fall into their lap. They read Joshua 1 and think well I have claimed this hill so God will give it. God may very well give it but in the process He may also require our work along with His. I do pray that you will have a joy-filled 2010 and enjoy the blessings of God beyond your dreams. Welcome back Jim.

"Let's" is an enthusiastic word too. Just saying it conjures up enthusiasm. "Let's"! Happy New Year! Ivan I like that idea. “Let’s” is an enthusiastic word too.

Thanks for the reminder there - I might need to skim the book again for a refresher on it - it has been some time since I read it.

Not very familiar w/ Ben's ideas. Read the same quote as you did by the "Disney guy." My first exposure to the whole story idea came from John Eldredge in Wild at Heart.

We want so much to happen and give ourselves away so much that it is easy to lose the fire. I too have gone through that this year and it is maddening. I will continue praying every day for you and now have something more specific to pray for. Hey Jim: I think we all go through those times, especially pastors.

What comes to mind is the "safety in numbers" and "no one is an island" and "more can be accomplished with a team than a one." For pastors, it is always good to have others beside, in front and behind as encouragement and teammates. Good thoughts Jim.

I had had enough talk of Santa. Now I wish I had lightened up some. Now that I have a grandson I am making up for lost time. Sometimes we/I make too much of some things. Good thoughts Jim.

Me? Now I have just let you know how I deal with it! :) Depends on how I am dealing with myself and my relationship to/with Jesus at the time as to whether I throw it out to Him or just bury it pretending all is ok.
