Resolutions, smesholutions

My dad was going to write a few New Year's resolutions for me here. But what's the point of resolutions anyway? Either we will lack the resolve to follow through, which is why they are resolutions and not something we are already doing anyway, or our presumption to know what the year brings will stand out as ridiculous anyway.

The failure rate of resolutions is cliche. Most people lack the will power for true and lasting change, unless the Spirit is moving in their lives. Further resolutions fall short due to short-sightedness. I could resolve, to stand up on my own next year. But it would only happen if God wills it to be so.

As my daddy read this morning, "Do not worry about tommorrow, for tommorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.

So I resolve not to resolve this New Years. I will spend New Year's Eve like I spend most of my evening, snoozing contently in bed.
