Welcome to 2013

January 1, 2013 Adam Walker Cleaveland

Happy-New-Year

It’s about 12:45am on January 1, 2013. I’m sitting in a dark living room, in front of our lighted Christmas tree, that we’ll take down tomorrow, before I head back to work. Sarah and I spent the evening with a friend for awhile, and then cleaning up the house a bit, watching some Gossip Girl, drinking white wine and Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider (the champagne I got was crap) and then sat down and answered the birthday questions, an examen-like exercise that I preached about last Sunday.

Our friends from seminary, Nate & Elaine, taught us the questions (though I think they were not the originators of them), and we’ve been using them since. The questions are:

  1. What’s the best thing that’s happened to you in the past year?
  2. What’s the worst thing that’s happened to you in the past year?
  3. What are you most looking forward to in the coming year?

Most of our answers had to do with Caleb, and I truly am looking forward to seeing him continue to grow over the next year.

I’m thinking 2013 is going to be an interesting year, and so I look forward to seeing how it continues to unfold. I’m also looking forward to writing a bit more here on this blog, and sharing my thoughts about ministry, the church, theology and other topics. WordPress.com put together a fun little Annual Report for Pomomusings, which you can see here. My favorite part of the report was this:

About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 300,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 5 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!

I wish you all a Happy New Year and we’ll see you around the interwebs.
