Treading the Path
Random musings: faith, quotes, treehouses, sports--the possibilities are endless.
I cannot be sure that anything I do will change things for the better, yet I can be sure that if I do not at least try, then I will fail to do what I think is right and will be contributing to keeping things the same. Therefore I will opt to do what is right, whether much or little comes of it.

Reflection: My Failed New Year’s Resolution
Just came across a notebook of mine in which I began my (failed) new year’s resolution for 2012. The resolution consisted of jotting down a lesson I learned or a final thought on my day before I went to bed each night. I only kept it up for a little over a month before I lost my notebook but it’s still interesting to see what I wrote down and to think back to that day early on in the year.
