New Year's Resolutions

For those of you who weren't around this past Sunday, we did something very typical of the start of the year: New Year's Resolutions. To many of us, this seems like quite a silly exercise coz we can't seem to keep most of them anyway, but failure is the mother of success. If we never bother trying, how will we ever achieve anything?

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 3:13-14)

As we enter into the new year, I hope that we all can encourage each other to grow stronger in Christ and support each other as we endeavour to do better this year, whether it be treating our siblings better, being more consistent about quiet time, or eating less junk food.

On a lighter note, the first person to tell me which computer game the character on the Resolutions sheet came from will get a prize ;P
