I agree with you, Mark. God is interested more on the inward man than the outward things.

I aim to get a bit more fit this year. My family needs me to be able to keep up. :)

I also want to play more with my kids, to listen more, and to spend more time tucking them in at night.

My goal is to finish my Manuscript by June. That's pretty slow, really, but with my other more important priorities, its the only way to go.

I like it when you said "More than what I do or what I produce, I think God is interested in the way I go about it." I've thought about that in the past as "God is more interested in the painting than the frame" trying, I think, to mean the same thing you said.

Thanks for helping me remember this!

Finish reading Henry Cloud's "Integrity."
Submit an exciting speaking proposal.
Reward myself "big time" for achieving my goals!

I agree--sometimes I think we put too much stress on ourselves to pinpoint the right thing that God wants us to do rather than act in the right way. Not that choosing is a bad focus.
I don't have a goal as much as a prayer--make me insignificant. (I blogged about it because this is the hardest prayer for me to pray right now.)

Reading (of course, when is that not a goal?), Traveling with the Wife, looking for a new place to move to...nothing major, really.

Just taking it a week at a time. No big plans, because soon the book will be on the way and I have no idea what that might mean (or not). Sometimes a holding pattern is exactly the plan we need, yes?
