One Word and One Verse 2012

My one word for the year last year was "wisdom," and my verse was related --Proverbs 2:6 "For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."  I don't think I did such a good job of gaining wisdom from the Lord last year, but I hope I gained some.

This year, my thoughts are drifting in a new direction: my word for the year is "simple," as in "keep it simple, stupid," or "Simple = good."  My verse is relatively simple -- Psalm 1:6: "For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."  Earlier in the Psalm, the Psalmist defines the "way of the righteous" in some ways as meditating on the law of the Lord, which I intend to do more of this year.  So, my goal for this year is simplicity, and to accomplish this, I hope to do more thinking about the Lord.
