Happy New Year! Although I realize for a lot of men this is not a happy time. Many of us have lost friends or family or even marriages recently and that is tough sledding.
The key is to not try shouldering all the burden yourself. Open up to friends and family or your partner and just BE for a while.
This is also a good time to think about spiritual depth for 2009. Here are some suggestions to make this a year for growth and development:
Buy a Life Application or The Message Bible and enjoy the depth of the comfort available there. Start with John in the New Testament and soak it up. (Myers Park United Methodist Church is doing an online Bible study. Sign up at http://www.mpumc.org/ )
Make plans now to be in church or synagogue at least 75% of the time this year--and get the whole family there.
Take some time away and learn about yourself....many of us only rarely do this but it can be very helpful.
Balance work and home demands this year--no matter what it takes.
Sign up for the Couples Communication call below and get to know your partner more deeply.
What are your ideas about this? Post them on the blog. And let us know how we can help!
