On January 1, every year, I set goals in eight areas of my life. This is not a blog about goal setting. It is about finding our value in what God has declared about us in Christ and not in our goals or potential achievements.

Many times church members don’t invite us to events for whatever reason. I once had a pastor’s wife tell me she got “uninvited” to a birthday party. This blew my mind.
