I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about vows, the kind that we intentionally make in order to publicly recognize and announce commitments to one another. In the next few days I’ll talk more about this, but I wanted to start just by asking you - what vows have you made, intentionally, that help you to live your life the way you want to live it?

1Pat,
Oooo…pretty new blog. I haven’t been over here yet.
Here’s something I wrote about wedding vows awhile back.
I didn’t have to make vows at my ordination, but I think a lot of traditions do include that. I have take, written, and asked others to take some pretty specific vows at anointing ceremonies for children though.
I’m interested to see what others have say.

2Not sure if this is what you mean or not, but in January I was in Swaziland, and stood in the shade at a carepoint, with an orphan (who’d lost both parents) perched on my hip. We spent the better part of an hour like that. When it was time to go, I looked into his eyes and told him (and vowed to myself) that I would never forget him.
He informs many of the decisions I make now. I am still in the early stages of change, but seeing Jesus in a small, fragile body with brown skin made everything look different.
