New Years Resolutions?! What will you resolve to change for the better?

[righteousdude2]

Evey year millions upon millions of humans make them, resolutions. Even I used to make them, that is until I discovered that the first thing broken soon after the holidays wasn't a present, but a well thought out resolution.

If you still resolve to switch a bad behavior with a new and improved one, what will yours be for 2017 and beyond???

And based on history, how successful have you been in keeping the resolution?

 

[Martin Marprelate]

There is a pile of resolutions that I've made over the years and failed to keep, but there are two, both of which I committed to the Lord in prayer that He has enabled me to keep.
A few years after I was saved, I made a resolution to read the Bible through each year. I have kept that up now for around 25 years. It has made me much more familiar with the Bible than just reading favourite portions.
When I reached 50, I found I was putting on a lot of weight. I made a resolution to take more exercise. 15 years later, I am still hitting the gym twice a week and doing a lot of walking with my dog, and though I can't say I enjoy the gym very much I feel a lot better for it mentally as well as physically and I have avoided (so far!) the diabetes that is becoming endemic in Britain and afflicted my father. I am also able to eat what I jolly well like without putting on weight again.

I have a few Russian books that I have had for a while and need to read them. War and Peace is one. Ugh. That one will probably not happen.

Make sure to include a book on gremlins.

You need a book about wit.

Decided this would be the year I re-read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". Started it New Years Eve. I have it in e-book format. After reading the first couple of chapters the progress indicator says I only have 73 hours remaining.

I will start exercising again and I will get under 200 lbs. again.

That is an excellent piece. Very eye-opening. I think that it should be high school required reading. Especially now.

I have one...listen to my kids with more attentiveness.

You will need to listen to the open air sermon on your computer as for some reason it will not play on a phone.

Half a book will do. Don't want it to be too long.

Nothing.

I pray you meet your goals, especially with weight loss.
