I can't do anything right. No one of my boss won't promote me and my wife doesn't respect me.

God's not finished with me yet. I can be the man he created me to be at work and at home.

I can't believe he's acting like that. What a jerk!

He must be having a really hard day. Maybe God put me here to make a difference in his life.

So I don't know about you. Maybe some of you would like to get in better shape or lose some

way, eat better, maybe be more spiritually focused this year, perhaps spend more time with your

kids. Maybe some of you want to get better with your money or quit some kind of annoying habit.

I don't know what it would be, but I pray that God would give you the power to achieve those

goals this year because there's something about starting a new year that just brings hope.

I don't know why it is, I guess it's almost like a psychological thing because we can change it

any time, but I don't know anybody the week before Thanksgiving that just says, wow, now's a good
