My wife is so good. She usually has her new year’s resolutions ready to go come the end of December. But this year, I beat her! Usually, I have a vague list floating around in my noggin, which I promptly forget by January 15. So, this year, they’re written down; before we ring in the new year, each one will have its own action plan. In the spirit of accountability, here is my list.
- Learn French, regain Greek, and maintain Spanish
- Learn guitar
- Eat French-ly again
- Blog at least once a week
- Read through Gospels, paying close attention to examples of Christ being a friend to sinners
- Read (at least) one book a month:
JANUARY: Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream (David Platt)
FEBRUARY: Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis)
MARCH: Grace-Based Parenting (Tim Kimmel)
APRIL: Faithful Feelings: Rethinking Emotion in the New Testament (Matthew Elliott)
MAY: Surprised by Suffering: The Role of Pain and Death in The Christian Life (R.C. Sproul)
JUNE: God is the Gospel (John Piper)

Do you set resolutions? If so, what are they?
