But look beyond the humor, look beyond the “human, all too human” side of resolutions and you’ll see something that is precious and thick. We long for something transcendent. We hope for some final resolution of all of our worn-down hopes and teary-eyed dreams. That resolution to lose 15 pounds may be a longing for a new body, one that will never be corrupted or see decay. That resolution to read 12 books may be a longing for a renewed mind that is perceptive and wise. That resolution to treat people better (Lord, help us) may be a longing for people to live in peace with each other, for us to not learn war anymore (Isaiah 2:4).

This blog will also go through some exciting changes in the coming year. We will start by honing in on the many different facets of the Lord's Abundance. This January, we're thankful for Abundant Life. Join us next month as we focus on Abundant Love and as we launch our first-ever podcast!
