Apprentice

Short post again but it’s better than nothing. I’ve been sick since St. Stephen’s Day and aparently 12% of the country knows how I feel. I’m on the mend now but have had to take a few extra days off work. I’m also a bit fed up of wheezes and chest infections, which is what all of my colds and flus seem to turn into lately. Worst of all, I miss my Sarah!

Anyway, happy 2009! New years resolutions this year:

I will be starting the new Bible-in-a-year reading plan I got with my ESV Study Bible (PDF file here). I also plan on going through the Heidelberg Catechism, which is written in a very devotional style and rather nicely arranged into 52 sections called Lord’s Day 1, Lord’s Day 2, and so on; so I can cover a short section every Sunday. Also I find one of my biggest, most persistent and most disgusting sins is my own pride so I’m going to combat this by asking more questions of people. My normal practice when I don’t know something is to go away and quietly research it until I have found my answer, this is a good thing but if you’re like me and that is often all you do it can create the illusion of self-sufficiency and that does nothing for cultivating humility, which is something I badly need. So I plan on being honest and upfront about my ignorance and humbly asking for help and information.
