New Year's Reflections

30 December 2013

I stumbled upon the following list of questions several years ago somewhere on the internet (for the life of me, I can't remember who deserves the credit!). They have served Danny and me as a great prompt for some thoughtful reflection and road-trip conversation during our recent Indiana visit, and I thought I'd pass them along... perhaps they can be of benefit to you as well!

  1. This is awesome, Danny and Amanda....reminds me a little of the "Scum Sheets" that Dwight and Jeff and Carl used to use at the Winter Advances...very helpful indeed! Praying for you as you embark upon your first full year together as Mr. and Mrs. Seibert :) Love you, Lori
