Are you a New Years Resolution kind of guy or gal, or does it all seem kind of hokey to you? Do you look back on the year that was with pride or guilt? Do you look forward to the year ahead with anxiety or excitement? I suppose it depends on who you are, and - honestly - how comfortable you are with yourself.
Every transition period in life, including every New Year, gives us opportunity to think through important questions again: Who am I? Who should I be? Who do I want to be? Why am I not that person right now?
Thankfully God has an answer, and in Baptism he gives you the cure to whatever identity crisis you may be going through.
