Habit Forming and the Value that comes from it

Atomic Habits is a book about habits and how deliberate practices in small numbers and quantities can bring about a change in you as a person.

I saw a video on X today, an interview that James Clear gave that I just had to share here. The Link goes to the X post, and ongoing availability is subject to the author.

Yesterday, news around the world announced that Manchester United manager Reuben Amorim had been sacked, with the announcement coming the morning after the draw with Leeds United at Elland Road.

The club, of course, has released a public announcement that Darren Fletcher will take over as interim head coach. 

Looking back to the sack of Eric Ten Hag and the appointment of Reuben, the cycle of excitement around the new manager and the condemnation of the old manager repeated itself. I wondered then how soon this would return, and here we are now.

I wish Reuben well on the next assignment and lots of prayers for the person who will take on the role next, as this is a high-reward, high-risk role. If for nothing else, Reuben is not a poor man after this exercise, so on to the next permanent coach.

Happy New Year 2026

January 4, 2026 by • New Year •

Welcome to 2026!

After the events of last year and the emotions and outcomes that came with it, the desire to welcome the new year with a lot of energy, hope, to improve output, get healthier, fitter, richer, more spiritual, and progress in all areas of endeavor is definitely one that I will accept. So far, the year has not failed on that front.

I have not heard much about New Year’s resolutions yet, but I have noticed a few people working on aspects of their lives. It is a welcome situation that we can all embrace.

Already, we have heard of the first major political event of the year, and it has raised many questions about the right and wrong of the event. The sides have aligned as they typically do, those against and those for, as well as those that are doing everything they can to remove themselves from the discussion.

It is already shaping up to be a great year, which is excellent, as I have several things I want to do this year, and at this point, I have been able to put a number of them in motion. I am also aware that starting is not enough; it needs to be sustained, or it will be considered and completed as successful.

My next post will determine how successful the plan is going, not to mention the fact that I already have a whole month filled with activities ahead of me.

Welcome to 2026! I hope and pray that it is an excellent year for you, one that is successful, that you finally get to that thing you have been putting aside, and take charge of the time and resources to put that plan into action.

Soli Deo Gloria!

A Quote about the Bible

January 22, 2025 by • Uncategorized •

In Grant R. Jeffery’s book The Signature of God, he inserted some writing about the Bible, which was found in a Bible. It is an interesting quote, so I will share it with you.

“The Bible is the greatest of all the books ever penned by men, to study it diligently is the most worthy of all possible pursuits, to clearly understand what the Lord is saying to us through its pages is truly the most noble and the highest of all my goals. The application to my heart, mind and spirit of the truths of the Word of God through the Holy Spirit’s gift of understanding and my subsequent obedience to that revelation is my supreme purpose and duty.”

“Found in an old Bible in England.”
