Resolutions

Rafael Septien was the field goal kicker for the Dallas Cowboys in 1985.  In one of the home games that year at Texas Stadium he missed a kick badly.  It was among the poorest kick attempts ever viewed by mankind! 

In a post-game interview he had an excuse.  He whined, the grass was too long.  Rafael’s excuse didn’t float any better than his kick; Texas Stadium doesn't have grass, it has artificial turf. 

As a society we are so quick to offer excuses for our behavior – we call it syndromes, maladies, unfortunate choices – we call it anything but SIN! 

George Washington didn’t lie, or offer an excuse for why he chopped down his dad’s cherry tree, and the difference is impossible to miss – he knew he’d done wrong and said so.

New Year - Resolve

Resolve to know Truth and speak truth this year.  It will set you free!
