It’s that time of the year when most of us become ultra conscious of all the things we have been doing wrong in our lives and vow to fix them beginning January 1st – or January 15th depending on whether or not your resolution involves procrastination. Some of us will try to be more punctual; some will try to quit smoking. Most will strive to lose weight or get into better shape. Even though most churches don’t buy into setting New Year’s resolutions for their parishioners, many ushered in 2011 with prayers of more healthful, prosperous and productive year. I know of many congregations that implement a church-wide fast that kicks off in January … for a nice cleansing of the body and soul.
