My 2012 New Years Resolution
As some of you may know if you read any of my tweets or you are a friend of mine on Facebook you know that I am a sports fanatic and I enjoy talking politics. Let me start off by saying there is nothing wrong with either one, but as I started to think about 2012 I really felt the word “focus” come to mind. As I started to pray and think about what this could mean, one of the first things that came to mind was “no tweets or status updates about sports or politics”.
At first I immediately thought I could try to limit my posts, but those are two things I really do enjoy. The problem is, I get into several debates about both. Debate and conversation are good things. However, when they become too confrontational and disrespectful as sometimes they do….they benefit no one. It becomes and ego and a pride thing. (which are essentially very bad things).
So in 2012, I will watch sports, I will watch politics, but I just won’t tweet or put a status update about them. This is going to take a tremendous amount of discipline for me as you know if you follow my posts. So please pray for me and be graceful with me as I wrestle through 2012 with this lofty goal. This may seem little and insignificant for most people, but for me it’s not. So extra grace will be needed. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed 2012.
