These are the questions I’m asking as a new year begins: --What self-imposed limits on my life have I accepted as inevitable? --What have I accepted as IMPOSSIBLE for me that is actually POSSIBLE with God? See, it turns out (again!) that Kevin Garnett was right, and the Apostle Peter proved it: With God, anything is possible.
