It's about this time of year that people start to forget their new year's resolutions. Wanting to be different I've decided to set mine today. Note that I normally don't bother to set one at all. Those that have seen me recently know that I've lost a lot of weight in the past 4 months so it would be easy to set a resolution around that. I'm not. My wife would probably like a resolution that has something to do with me being home for dinner five nights a week and watching the kids by myself all day on Saturday while she sleeps in. No need to make a promise that I know I'll break. My resolution for this year is to pray more before I act out of instinct in difficult situations. True to my type A personality I like to rush into action when presented with a problem. Sometimes this is great and has positive results; sometimes this results in actions and decisions that I regret later. I'm pretty sure that everyone can relate to that on some level. If you're a close friend I welcome you to hold me accountable as to how I'm doing against this resolution throughout the year.
