    Doing What with God in the New Year?

    Filed Under inspiration, small happinesses 

    Every day on the bus ride to work I pass a Baptist church with one of those letter marquees. I have to admit one of the highlights of the morning journey is checking to see what they’re saying now (them and the 7th Day Adventist church a few miles further down the road). This morning it said, “Bring in the New Year: Come Worship with God.”

    Worship with God? Is this a grammatical error, an acquiescence to a more pleasant-sounding sentence, or a theological concept that I’m simply unaware of?

    Puzzling ….

    Speaking of the New Year, here is my list of resolutions for 2006:

    1. Grow herbs for my kitchen.
    2. Add more plants to my house and help them thrive.
    3. Cook six days out of seven.
    4. Do more math every day.
    5. Develop my relationship with nature and to the seasons.
    6. Call Nanny at least twice every week.
    7. Send at least one handwritten letter every week.
    8. Take lots of photographs of the things I don’t usually pay attention to.
    9. Continue with Spanish.
    10. Get more sleep.
    11. Learn to sew.
