I think I will include a resolution to drink less this year. It will show God I am thankful for the healthy body He gave me and I bet it'll get rid of my "winter-belly", too.

As a Christian, I am constantly ashamed of my fellow believers acting no better than the world. I also see them being hypocrites which is just as bad. Drinking is not a moral issue.
