Enough Already

The Word of the Year  (More detail here)

Who knew that I'd continue something like this for 3 years!  And, I gotta' say, it's been interesting.

Report Card - Sequence (2014)
This one, I feel pretty good about, actually.  Trying to keep one word in mind every day throughout the year seemed impossible, but I found out that it's quite doable.  And, I believe (for the most part) that I fulfilled the goal - keeping God in mind first and foremost. When it was time to choose a new word, I actually felt some loss.  I was going to miss spending time with this word! The perceived success certainly encouraged me to continue with a new word for 2015, though.

Those ones and zeros spell Sequence.  It's kind of fun!  Pick a word and try it!  Click here

A couple of years ago, I heard, read, or was in some way exposed to the idea of the"Word of the Year". It's much more than a New Year's Resolution.  It's a commitment to live more positively based on just one word.  Although I thought, "impossible" I gave it a shot. 

Last year, my word was Sequence. Listening to a lot of sermons, I found one that seemed to speak more loudly than others.  Knowing I have only two minutes of reading time here, I'll condense my comments as much as possible.

There were images and explanations of the differences between Psyche and Zoe (two Greek words for life) explaining how important it is to remember distinctions between the two especially as it relates to John 12:25. 

(Honestly, this verse always confused me.  If I hate my life I get to keep it forever? What!?)

Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone 

who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
