12-14″I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.”

Philippians 3:12-14, The Message

Well, here it is my first Sunday with the ABC Creativity blog.  It’s taken me 24 hours to put my list together.  My layout summarizes my list… But my actual list is much longer but I left many out of my layout because they fall under one of the things in the main list but I will add them here in my post!  My problem has never been dreaming – my problem is actually achieving the goals, follow through etc.
