I like to set goals and then plan and strategize on how to accomplish them. Some of my favorite goals are fishing, hunting, bicycling, and traveling. These goals all require days on the calendar and space in our budget, so some juggling takes place, usually starting about now. Almost all of these goals involve other people, so I am not only considering my calendar and budget but also theirs. New and unexpected events often get thrown into the mix periodically, which usually force adjustments to my goals and schedule. One such new event is that my granddaughter, Praise, recently got engaged, and the wedding will take place in Liberia, West Africa, in August. Round-trip tickets to Liberia cost money that will cut into my hunting and fishing funds, and August 28th is when many of my hunting goals start and run through November. So adjustments need to take place. When planning, the events that are most important to me take priority. When I have ten things I really want to do, but only 7 will fit on the calendar and in the budget, what goes? The events I have already done or can do next year or at a later date are the first to get the axe. Praise is the first of our 28 grandkids to get married, so it is a very high priority in our lives, and adjustments are now being made to the calendar. Time is limited; there are 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week, 4.33 weeks in a month, and 12 months in a year. That is all there is, and I am getting to the point in my life where every year I live from here on out is gravy, so I need to choose and plan with wisdom. 

Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

Psalms 39:4-5 Lord, make me to know my end and what is the extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am. Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Surely every man at his best is a mere breath.

It looks like I will have to shoot my moose next year.
