Life in the shadow of the cross is not some endless trajectory of mandatory improvement. It is not a mission or a project. It is simply life. A life lived with a modicum of self-acceptance in which we act in silly and sometimes self-defeating ways, but where we are free to laugh at ourselves (and cry with others), knowing that we have been given something a whole lot more sturdy to rely on for comfort and value than our own resolutions. What\u2019s more, we are not alone. ~ David Zahl<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full blog at: <a title=\"Resolving to Love Calvin and Hobbes by David Zahl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mbird.com\/2012\/12\/resolving-to-love-calvin-and-hobbes-17-years-later\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.mbird.com\/2012\/12\/resolving-to-love-calvin-and-hobbes-17-years-later\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong>Steve Brown<\/strong>, radio broadcaster, seminary professor, author and the founder of <a title=\"Key Life\" href=\"http:\/\/www.keylife.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Key Life<\/a>, we read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Just because one believes in <a title=\"grace\" href=\"http:\/\/www.keylife.org\/shows\/the-roman-road-to-grace-42\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grace<\/a> and admits to not living up to the standards (e.g. resolutions), it&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;mean that one lowers those standards (or quits making the resolutions). In fact, God\u2019s grace and love&nbsp;make it possible to be honest about the failure and, at the same time, to continue to make the resolutions. ~ Steve Brown <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read this complete blog here: <a title=\"The God of Second Chances\" href=\"http:\/\/www.keylife.org\/articles\/the-god-of-second-chances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.keylife.org\/articles\/the-god-of-second-chances<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a side note, my niece posted this on Facebook and I thought it was a great idea, so I wanted to share it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My favorite part of January 1st!!!<\/em><br><em>Throughout the year, we keep a jar on our table and fill it with slips of paper noting things -big and small- for which we are especially grateful.

It&#8217;s such a beautiful way to start the new year\u2014reflecting on many of the blessings and sweet moments from the previous one. ~ Erin Fede<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And lastly, but not leastly&#8230; a quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench his determination to bless me. ~ J.
