This is Love, not that we Loved God,
My 2023 Goals January Update
My 2023 Goals List Progress
It’s a different kind of list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope better than me. Here is my first monthly update.
- Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress, but I’m not 1/12 of the way there. I walked 56.8 miles. But I did sign up for a run in February and I’m hoping that gets me excited about entering more.
- Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1. I didn’t start until January 8, so I had some catching up to do, but I’m there now.
- Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m holding steady at 3 pounds down. Maybe more. These are the same five pounds I didn’t lose last year. We have a class reunion coming up next year so there is more incentive this time around.
So if you have a list, feel free to share it with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, we all succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year – either longer or shorter? Good luck.

Human Trafficking – Today’s Slavery
January 11, 2023. Updated from the original post in July 2020
Human trafficking isn’t anything new. It has been around for decades. Lately, it has been in the news a bit more because of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Their involvement was in sex trafficking. Most human trafficking involves sex trafficking. And these slaves’ average age is 12- to 14-years old in the United States. Sex trafficking doesn’t start at age 12. There are victims out there who haven’t yet celebrated their first birthday. Think about that for a moment.
The remainder of victims are trafficked for labor. Examples include some domestic workers in homes, some factory workers, homeless people begging for money on street corners, employees in some massage parlors, and some farm laborers. All victims of human trafficking are slaves. They are not doing this by choice. There are more slaves in the world today, than at any time in history.
