I hereby resolve:

1. I will fall in love with my Lord all over again.
2. I will strive to love every person I meet with the love of my Lord.
3. I will continually re-calibrate my mind on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.
4. I will renovate the temple in which God’s Spirit resides, my body.
5. I will pig out on listening, trim my speech, and keep my emotions on a leash.
6. I will rejoice like never before in the wonderful wife of my youth.
7. I will bless God’s great gifts to me: my children and grandson.
8. I will fight for what is right in the lives of others, maximize mercy toward all, and make humility with God a habit.
9. I will daily review these resolutions with reflection & prayer.

My resolutions rest on: Psalm 127:3-5; Psalm 128:6; Proverbs 5:18-19; Micah 6:8; Matthew 22:37-40; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Philippians 4:8; James 1:19-20 (http://bit.ly/4GJYGU).
