My son turns 13 this weekend.  As I reflect on my first 13 years, I have come to the conclusion that the decsions that I have made will provide my son with a better foundation than the one that I had.  As a born-again Christian, my son has the solid foundation of the Word of God.  He is learning more everyday.  My foundation at 13 was Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and Dungeons and Dragons.  I have come a long way since those days and I m thankful.  I too am learning.  Oddly enough, you never stop learning.  If you choose the path of “I know what I know and that’s all I want to know…” you will suffer from a stagnating soul.  Since my son is 13, here are 13 things to remeber in life.

1. God is God, but he trusts you to do.  Act in a manner that will get the job done.
2. The Bible will give you what you need if you are willing to spend time and effort developing this skills.
3. Read and write everyday.  One will add knowledge and wisdom to you and the other will allow you to express your understanding of what was added to you.
4. Wishing for easier does not help you grow.  Don’t wish for easier, make yourself better.
5. Love and Faith are developed daily through spending time with your Father.
6. Any information you obtain is easier to use if you have an organized system to retain it.
7. Listen to your Heavenly Father.  He knows the who, what where when and why.  He will show you how as well.
8. Rocky Balboa was correct.  The punches will come.  It is up to you to keep moving forward.  Stopping will not complete the job.
9. Integrity more essential than ever.  Once your life hits the online world, it does not disappear.
10. Trust God; Love People.  Don’t get this mixed up.
11. Your future is yours, but live disciplined to have freedom.
12. Birthdays, anniversaries and the like are good days.  There will also be bad days, but  remember that they are only signposts in the roads.  Celebrate the good, learn from the bad, but don’t camp out at either.
13. Sowing is only the beginning.  Reap when the season is correct.

Keep on keeping on….
