NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

Not much time left to ponder what your New Year's resolutions are going to be. I've been thinking about mine off and on all day.

For years I've only made one resolution, and it's nothing to be proud of. My only resolution was that I wasn't going to make any resolutions as they would be broken before the first week of the new year was over.

I know I need to work hard on my dieting. I am watching what I eat and have had minimal success. But I'm not ready to make a bona fide resolution! I can only say I'll keep on trying.

Then there's the question of chocolate. My chocolate cravings are temporarily under control, but only because my sweet "better half" keeps the candy hidden! The chocolate candy, that is. Other candy doesn't tempt me in the least. We've had a dish of various Christmas candies sitting in plain sight for days, and I haven't touched a piece! I could care less! But I like my chocolate candy too well to make any resolution about calling chocolate quits.

I thought of the inordinate amount of time I spend on computer games. First thing in the morning. The middle of the night when I get awake. I'm addicted. I've already started to cut down on game time which gives me more time to spend on my writing. But I haven't brought myself to a resolution of a definite time frame for playing games. It's another area of my life I'm at least watching.

But there's one resolution I can make with all confidence in my ability to keep -- with the Lord's help, that is. And so, I HEREBY RESOLVE TO DRAW CLOSER TO THE LORD IN THE COMING NEW YEAR, AND THEREBY GROW IN MY SPIRITUAL LIFE! Amen and Amen!

Now, what are YOUR resolutions for the coming year? Quick -- you only have a little over 24 hours to decide!
