Resolutions...
1.) Spend more time with family, and less at work (correlary: to spend less time with family that I am actually thinking about work).
2.) To not blame the dogs for that strange smell in the air when Erin and I are cuddling up on the couch.
3.) Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God' s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriads of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many soever, and how great soever. (clearly one of Edwards)
4.) To eat better, work out more, lose weight, get more sleep, and all the rest of the normal New Year's resolutions that most people have already started ignoring by this point in the new year. I just figured I would get it all out of the way now.
5.) To speak with grace, edification, and love. Unless someone is being an idiot and then it is totally fair game to tell them.
6.) Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt of the love of God; and to direct all my forces against it. (Edwards again)
7.) To never settle for mediocrity as a husband and father.
8.) To spend more time leading by example and to remember that the example is to be of the most ideal good and not what is easy, popular, or quick.
9.) Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can. (Edwards)
10.) Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live. (Edwards)

The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards
It really stinks when you break your #1 resolution the day after you make it.
I resolve to watch all of the seasons of the Office with you before the end of January. :) Love you!
