STOP AND THINK Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average. Which means you've met your New Year's resolution. (Jay Leno, American humorist)

Well, that’s one way to look at it. But should we be satisfied with being average? Are our New Year’s resolutions or, more importantly, our goals in life merely to be average? Shouldn’t we be striving to be and do better? Let’s establish a few realistic, positive projects for this year and determine to do our very best.
 
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed. (2 Timothy 2:15)
