Making resolutions?

Like every new year, we’ve heard a lot about resolutions as we begin the new year. People think about their need to change. A great deal is written about how to keep resolutions and even the psychology of not keeping them. I would suggest that perhaps the best use of resolutions is the same as the Law, we can’t keep them and that shows us that we need the Gospel. Real change in me is the fruit of God working in and through me.

“All this trying leads up to the vital moment at which you turn to God and say, ‘You must do this. I can’t.'” C. S. Lewis, (_Mere Christianity_)

2012: viewing

Movies: “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” “Lincoln” and “Skyfall”

TV: NCIS, Blue Bloods, The Mentalist (on broadcast), Prime Suspect (all seasons), Damages (season 2) and MI5 (first 3 seasons) (from Netflix)

Video: Spy Game (Redford and Pitt) – love the scenes from Budapest and the sacrifice at the end

Web: PBSNewsHour – especially Shields and Brooks… PBS is especially awesome because I can view video from overseas IP addresses (which is important to me)

More Questions

These are two questions I heard in church this morning. For the follower of Jesus, they’re pretty basic.

1. When was the last time I had a conversation about Jesus with a not-yet-believer?

2. What are the ways that I am taking care of my body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
