Another year comes to an end, but in many respects it is just another day. For all the resolutions that people make (lose weight, read more, spend more time with kids, have more fun, …) do our resolutions get in the way of the true resolution we need to make? Can we set aside these (usually “good”) things that control our lives and make sure Christ takes primacy? Are we willing to daily live for the glory of God? Not an easy “resolution”. Why not try some of
these resolutions to start with.

another good read on resolutions.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We are now all settled in Maryland. I drove up to Ithaca and brought Camille and the kids back down at the end of October. I am so glad we are all together again. I’ll try to have Camille give a larger update about how things are soon.
We drove back up to Ithaca for Christmas and New Years. It was good to see my parents again, and all our NewLife friends. We managed to get some
good fossil hunting in as well, as the temperatures were not ‘normal’. Anne and Drew are becoming good hunters, with Anne scoring a few trilobites herself at the Portland Point quarry.
Today, being MLKJ Day, I had the day off. Woohoo! Being in the DC area is great! It was a normal temperature for January 15th, 72F with a 50 percent chance for rain. So we made the best of it and went to the Chesapeake to hunt for Miocene fossils. We managed to score a
small amount of fossilized shark and skate teeth. It was warm enough for me to put on my Tevas and walk around in the water to better hunt. Pretty fun! Plus, having Drew periodically say, “Shark eat me” was great.

I try not to brag about the presents I get for Christmas. But, I have to give a special mention to my brother for this one. I can only wonder how long he was searching until he found something like this. On the other hand, he got Drew 2 cars also, so he may have just caught it out of the corner of his eye.
