Do you remember the New Year
resolutions which you made back in
January' How are you doing at
keeping them9 That is, if you can
remember what they were. We like to
believe that every resolution, or
promise, is made with the best of in-
tentions and earnest desire We also
know that too often it is not our desire
that is lacking but our committment
to follow through How otten have we
heard someone say that they were
going to ‘‘turn over a new leaf,” were
going to change and do better The
desire and the intention is good but the
committment to follow-through must
be present.
In Luke 14:28, 29 Jesus tells a
parable of a man who began to build a
house, but after the foundation was
laid he never finished the project. We
have all seen unfinished shells of
houses. They arc the tombstones of
good intentions and unrealized
rirpams a silpnt witness nf th» failure
to follow-through Marriages have
failed, plans have been scraped, lives
have stagnated, and dreams have
never come true all for the want of
