I remember making about half-a-dozen resolutions for 2023, which is at least five too many. Without looking back, I can only remember two of them. One was to produce a short devotional thought every day, each month centered loosely on a topic (prayer, confession, generosity, etc.). The other was diet related. I managed to keep both of them, but by the last six weeks of this year, I need a reset on the diet. So, it will be included in the 2024 list.

I believe many of my personal resolutions lists are similar; I keep making the same commitments, which end every year with varying degrees of success. Several years ago, I stopped letting myself feel like a failure when I didn’t always succeed. Progress in some areas of life comes slowly and steadily.
