For those of you who are counting you know that yesterday was the end of the first two weeks of the year.  Of course that means that we only have 50 weeks left to go!

Why am I pointing this out?  Well, if you are like most people, when the calendar turns we feel a shot of adrenaline in our lives.  At the turn of the calendar we make big promises to our selves (health clubs bank on it), we make big promises to our spouses, and we often make big promises to God.  However, about 2 weeks in we begin to slow in our discipline to see these things through and it is as if our adrenaline is all used up.

Experts tell us it takes 21 days to make a habit stick.  So don't give up yet!  Keep going!  You can do it!  Continue to seek God with great fervor, turn down the 5th cookie for desert (and the 4th...maybe the 3rd too), and keep your promise to your spouse as well!  If you continue to discipline yourself a habit will be formed.  And if that habit can be formed it will help you greatly in these next 50 weeks.

See you tomorrow,

Joe Darago
