Resolved

I thought for a while about this. I came up with laundry list of objectives that I could call resolutions. Some of them were even clever. But they just weren’t right.

Today the preacher quit preaching and went to meddling. He really put me through the ringer. He made me think. Even more, he made me resolve.

Resolved: By January 1, 2007, I will be a better man than I am today.

I know that sounds like a platitude. I know that is broad and nonspecific. I made it that way deliberately. You see I don’t know the specifics. I don’t know what this year has in store for me. However, I do know how I plan to deal with it.

I really don’t think anything short of a fundamental change in my character will do. I’m expected to be more than who I am. God expects it and so do I.
