Wow….Kevin…what a good post! It caused me to think of my own year (which I'm sure is no accident on your part).

I quit a crummy job without having another job lined up, broke my hand the day after my last day there, and didn't work for about 10 weeks. Through it all I saw God provide for us and even allow us to flourish a little bit.

While I didn't enjoy playing all of my video games “one handed”, I did enjoy the time off from any type of work. It was kind of God's way of providing a bit of a “summer break.” And then, when all had healed properly, he provided me with a job that I enjoy much more than my last job.

And, finally, I was able to overcome a particularly difficult “test” in my life – as it relates to a personal goal of mine – that had previously kicked my butt. (I think, Kevin, that you probably know to what I'm referring.)

So, all-in-all, it WAS a good year, even if nothing “monumental” happened. Thanks again Kevin for helping me to put 2008 into context. Now…let's see if the wife and I can't receive at least ONE of those monumental blessings of our own this year.
