I’ve heard many a sermonette about New Year’s resolutions. We should make them, and here are the kinds of “christianly” resolutions Christians make. We shouldn’t make them, and here’s why they’re evil (or at least less-than some sort of similar thing with a “more spiritual” name).
Can I just say… Who cares?
Make New Year’s resolutions or don’t. Whatever you do, do it for Christ’s sake; in his power, by his grace, for his glory. Involve him. You can’t go wrong.
Happy New Year everyone. May the Lord bless you.

(Editor in Chief) is a poet whose work often centers around the relationships between nature and the city, loss and love, faith and protest. She holds an MLA in English Literature and an MA in African American Studies. In between her two Masters degrees, Renea took a "gap year" to study theology at the famous L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. L'Abri is also where she read the Harry Potter saga for the first time and fell in love with the characters and the story's triumph of sacrificial love. Renea leads an incredibly talented creative writing group at her church and spends a fair amount of time binging books and Netflix and swing dancing at the historic Sons of Hermann Hall.
