Act like men

It was one of Paul's theological side effects when he wrote to the first century church, and his words are just as potent today.
Like all fallen creatures, men are not acting like they were originally designed to.  Thus, we have the writings of Paul to the Corinthians in chapter 16:13.  Men need to be constantly reminded to be men, because post fall our bent is to not operate as men.  In the context of 1 Corinthians 16, Paul is specifically referencing men's actions in relationship to their faith in Christ and relationships within the body of Christ.
So it is today, that men need to "act like men", meaning be strong, and stand firm in the faith.   

New Start

A new start is easier after the first of the year and not on the first.  This way one has a chance to mentally test the new program for the new year (or create one because I forgot), without actually doing it, and therefore without failing to follow through.  However, the challenge in this approach is not doing anything at all, either new, or changing a pattern or behavior that needs to go.  That is why I have chosen to start again, this time with content that is meaningful and useful.
