New Year's Resolutions

So, while we have been out on this trip, a new year has started and we have had to think about what we want to try and 'accomplish' this year as a couple. One of the things on our list is to read through the Bible together (super creative I know...it has to be the number one Christian New Year's resolution of all time) but we have already run into our first obstacle. I Chronicles.

Reading through that book is crazy hard, especially when you are reading out loud. Here's an excerpt -

72 and out of the tribe of Issachar: Kedesh with its pasturelands, Daberath with its pasturelands, 73 Ramoth with its pasturelands, and Anem with its pasturelands; 74 out of the tribe of Asher: Mashal with its pasturelands, Abdon with its pasturelands, 75 Hukok with its pasturelands, and Rehob with its pasturelands; 76 and out of the tribe of Naphtali: Kedesh in Galilee with its pasturelands, Hammon with its pasturelands, and Kiriathaim with its pasturelands. 77 To the rest of the Merarites were allotted out of the tribe of Zebulun: Rimmono with its pasturelands, Tabor with its pasturelands, 78 and beyond the Jordan at Jericho, on the east side of the Jordan, out of the tribe of Reuben: Bezer in the wilderness with its pasturelands, Jahzah with its pasturelands, 79 Kedemoth with its pasturelands, and Mephaath with its pasturelands; 80 and out of the tribe of Gad: Ramoth in Gilead with its pasturelands, Mahanaim with its pasturelands, 81 Heshbon with its pasturelands, and Jazer with its pasturelands.

Saying the word 'pasturelands' out loud 50 times in a row is pretty tough. In all seriousness, we are pretty excited about trying to get through it and we found some good 'reading plans' here if anyone is interested.

In other news, we have CNBC this morning for the first time and that's pretty exciting. The economy lost (at least) 525,000 jobs in December which is crazy. At least we can live in the Maverick if things get worse.
