Resolution #1 Do Stuff! {and do it with GREAT love}
 
"Everything worth hearing's already been said.  All that's left is just to go do stuff"  Bob Goff
 
 
Resolution #2 Be the hands and feet of Jesus! {make my faith known by what I do; not by what I say}
 
"This year we'll show people what we believe--we won't need to say a word"  Bob Goff
 
"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.  But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”  Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.  James 2:14-18
