All I Want for Christmas is Some Peace of Mind!

At any rate, instead of a Christmas List, how about doing something a little more practical, like a plan. A 3-month plan to be more exact. I’m not ready for 5 year plans, or 1 year, or even 6-month. I need something I can work with. Ashlee (the newest member of the too-single crew- soon to be introduced) and I did ours together on the phone last night. It really is very simple to do…and for all you believing Christians out there, it works too! Just pray over it and apply the good ‘ole “right the vision and make it plain” scripture. Oh yeah…and actually work on some of the stuff too. Now remember, it’s only 3 months, so write down things that you can do; or work towards. Ashlee started off writing things down like doing intense Hebraic studies of the Old Testament. I had to remind her that by the time our finals are over, it will be February. Intense Hebraic Studies may be a bit unreacheable. Anyway, as a template, or a guide to help those of you who’d like to join in, I decided to post my 3 month plan online.
