A boy asked his father, “Dad, if three frogs were sitting on a limb that hung over a pool, and one frog decided to jump off into the pool, how many frogs would be left on the limb?”
The dad replied, “Two.”
“No,” the son continued. “There are three frogs and one decides to jump, how many are left?”
The dad said, “Oh, I get it. If one decides to jump, the others would too. So, there are none left.”
The boy said, “No, Dad, the answer is three. The frog only DECIDED to jump.”
Does that sound like last year’s resolution? Great inspiration and great resolutions, but often times we only decide, and months later we are still on the same limb of do-nothing.

If you can’t make a decision, then there is no need to make a resolution for the new year. However, if you are in the mood for real change, read this:
Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
Give it some thought and then jump.
