When our computers get bogged down and unmanageable, we know to hit a reset button to simply start over. Wouldn’t a reset button be great in life?

New years is that opportunity for many.  Perhaps you read about the giant shredder that they set up for “Good Riddance Day” in New York City’s Times Square.  People could bring any bad memories they wanted to shred, to start fresh in 2014.

That’s small scale, though. We know it would be complicated, with all our responsibilities and routines to consider, but imagine the freedom and refreshment of a new start in life! What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to, and what would you ignore? How would you avoid getting bogged down and broken again?

Question: If you could reset something, or everything in life, what would it be?  What’s stopping you?

Friday - Reflect - Golden Rule

We pray and reflect about this week's topic. Prayer is simply talking to God. If you've never prayed before, just pause for a moment to prepare. You might close your eyes, or just turn off some distractions like the car radio. Then, talk to God, either aloud or just with your thoughts. We use this structure to help us pray as a community: ACTS A - Adoration - We tell God why we want to talk to him. C - Confession - We apologize for times we've rebelled against him and hurt ourselves, others or God directly. T - Thanksgiving - We give thanks for God's gifts, especially the gift of his grace. S - Supplication - We ask for things we need. Then we say Amen! S
