New Year
There are some things that I want to try to commit to in the new year:
- Listen to the advice of those older and wiser than I (this, I think, deserves an entire blog entry, so I will try to write one at a later date).
- Live more healthy (I have wanted to be a vegetarian for a long time, so I’m going to actually try to do that. Also, I want to try to exercise consistently).
- Practice piano regularly (my current practicing routine consists of learning a random song by ear every other month or so, which is not so good… I want to start developing a repertoire of actual written piano pieces).
- Study the Bible regularly (I am reading through Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology as a part of my daily devotions, and it is just great. It is a theology textbook that is exciting and fun to read, and it makes me want to be a better student of the Bible).
- Read more books (I have an ever-present list of books I want to read, but I need to actually do it… to help me accomplish this, I want to watch less TV and fewer movies).
- Stop being a jerk (at times I feel like I’m displaying an arrogant and condescending persona, and that’s not a godly way to live).
Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?

These are good goals! Don’t forget, you have a whole year to work on them. Maybe you should add an additional goal of learning patience? : )

Or how about, “Write more blogs for Mike’s enjoyment and enlightenment?” I like that one.

1) being older than you, i like this resolution.
2) body typing is important; eat vegetarian only if your body typing is appropriate, otherwise you risk some serious deficiencies, usually B12 at the least. do some study first. i would recommend http://www.mercola.com.
3) go piano
4) systematic theology was a trip (it actually came in the form of lots of theology courses in college; main text was by Chafer, if I remember correctly.
5) good books are good friends
6) i’ll leave that one to you
great goals. can i ask you how you’re doing?
