What Are You Calling This Year?

I’ve been surveying friends, family, and total strangers asking this very simple question, “What are you calling the current year?” Now I have come up with a couple options, so you choose what goes best with your personality. First option Twenty-Ten, Second Option Two-Thousand and Ten. So what will it be?


I think simple things like what you’re calling the current year reflect on your personality. Does it make you lame if your answer to the question was Two-Thousand and Ten? No, but I do think it says a little bit about who you are! Like for instance Two-Thousand and Ten, sounds formal, so I guess this makes you formal. All the people I surveyed who said Two-Thousand and Ten were over the age of 45. So, I’ve concluded the way this question is answered has something to do with our age.


So what if your answer was Twenty-Ten, does this make you informal? Yeah, to a certain degree I think it does. If you’re rocking Twenty-Ten in your vocabulary I don’t think it means you lack class, or the ability to function in society. But I do think it means your okay with being you. Don’t get me wrong… I’m not saying that our friends from the Two-Thousand and Ten crew are not okay with being themselves. All I’m saying is... there is a difference.


So because we are all so different can I encourage you to listen to the people around you this year, I mean really listen to what they are saying. Take it past just hearing, and let their words resonate in your heart. Find out what their really saying, and what they really want from you. Don’t take the people God puts in your path for granted this year. Don’t dismiss them because they speak different, they look different, they smell different, they have a different color skin, they come from a different economic back ground, they believe different, or simply because they say Twenty-Ten.


Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle. (Romans 12:9-10 Message Bible)
Scripture Commands us to Love…So in Twenty-Ten LOVE LIKE CRAZY!!!


P.S. Tell me what your calling this year, I really want to know : D <---- Stoked Smiley Face.
