New Year's Resolutions

I do not do NY's resolutions well. I do pretty well for the first two weeks of the year, and then I slack off until they are all gone from my head. I do think that making goals is important and have served on many committees that perfected goals through many meetings--goals which also bit the wind.

In most cases, fewer are better--perhaps they stick more readily. Anyway, here's one of my resolutions framed by Matthew in 11:29-30 of the Message:

"Walk with me and work with me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
