Thanks for listening. Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome back to today's episode of Everyday Truth.

I want to offer an apology to our video watchers because this is only an audio version for the next couple of days.

So you'll miss my lovely face, not missing much,

but I did want to make sure that I'm keeping up with the podcast. Remember, on January 1st,

we're starting a series. I think it'll be 10 lessons long. I'm working on it now, but a series on how to get more

out of your Bible. And I'm really hoping that you'll tune into that, invite a friend. I'll be doing

a little bit of social media incentivizing here in the next day or two just because I really have a burden

for people to be in their Bible every single day. And this would be a great way to just provide a

better incentive because people sometimes they want to do the right thing, they want to read their Bible,

but they just don't get a whole lot out of it, and so it becomes discouraging.

So if you know somebody like that, or maybe you struggle in that area,

I'd really encourage you starting January 1 to listen to that mini-series

about how to get more out of your Bible.

But I'm thinking a bit these next couple of days, just as we are approaching the new year

and thinking about decisions, thinking about our perhaps New Year's resolutions, that it

might be a good thing to talk about some reasons why we

tend not to keep our commitments, why we fail many times in the resolutions that we make.

And I want to encourage you to think long and hard about maybe some good new decisions you can make and what it's going to take to see those decisions come to fruition.
