metalman777Life, family 2010, looking ahead No Comments

This time of year is usually spent doing two things.

People look back at the past year and reflect if it was a good or bad. A few sum up the best of the year in top 10 lists, as I have done with my best music of 2009 playlist.

After looking back, those same people usually cast a glance at the year to come and make a list of resolutions they plan to keep. I did this very thing last year.

My resolutions for were:
That said, here are those goals for 2009:

1. Follow Jesus where ever He takes me.

2. Get healthy and drop some pounds.

3. Make family a priority.

4. Definitely read more and watch less movies.

5. Pick up the bass guitar and learn some sweet bass lines.

6. Buy Guitar Hero Metallica the minute it comes out!

I have to say I actually made some headway this year and did accomplish most everything on the list.

1. Follow Jesus where ever He takes me? I’ll be honest and say it has been a tad uncomfortable at times. Not in the martyr, follow-Jesus-to-the-death way, but in the shedding some more of my religious, dogmatic underpinnings and not-wanting-to-be-part-of-the-churchy-do-it-like-this-because-we’ve-always-done-it-like-this way. I love Jesus more than ever and am so grateful to see Him in new ways. He is my shepherd and leader, and no one else.

2. I started running in June and have lost almost 20 pounds! [in my best Austin Powers impersonation] Yeah baby!

3. Family is the priority. It is tough because I’ve been working so much overtime to get out of debt that I feel as though I’m neglecting them at times. It helps to know this is a temporary thing and soon I’ll have time to be with them AND have money to take ‘em on a nice vacation!

4. Read some great books and watched a lot of great movies.

5. I borrowed a bass guitar and took a few lessons, but it just didn’t fit into my schedule. But I tried!

6. Guitar Hero Metallica is awesome and a blast to play. I just hate being crushed by my 15 year old daughter. Seriously, she can beat my by 100,000 points and she’s playing on expert!
