Be Here Now

Customary Top 10 lists–wishes for peace, resolutions, funny, sobering, irreverent, I admit to liking them–I have little time to read them, but I like them nevertheless. I am also working on an academic deadline, which, aside from a busy life being professor mom, means that I especially love those top 10 lists and resolutions that call for people to “slow” down their lives.  Never mind…here’s the Top Ten things I’d like to see my evangelical/Pentecostal brethren do more often in 2013.

10. be present

9.   be open

8.   be willing

7.   be listening

6.   be mindful

5.   be empathetic

4.   be learning

3.   be wise

2.   be thoughtful

1.   be peaceful

Feliz Año Nuevo Happy New Year!
