Men's Conference Team: St. Joseph

Well, it has been a whole month since your latest and somewhat lousy excuse for a New Years resolution.  Yes, we promised to lose that rather large love handle but, alas it has grown faster than a rabbit jumping down a hole.  And yes, we promised to eat healthier and be more fit. That too, was over when the cheese from the extra-large pizza you devoured slipped off the plate and into your mouth.

We tend to promise things on the spur of the moment, rather than thinking and praying on it to make sure that it is something we can accomplish.  Set a goal for yourself that you can follow through on. Hard or not, it should be something that you can do each and every day to make a life better for you and your loved ones.  Pray more, go to mass, volunteer, or just make yourself available to listen to someone else’s wants and needs. God sees and is delighted not by the number of things that you do but the quality and effort you put behind it.  

So do not lose hope that your stomach will miraculously shrink over the next few months, but instead embrace that flab and cultivate the memories you will share, with your new found confidence that like gravity, it all eventually reaches the ground.  Have a great conference men. Use this as a time to reflect and come, maybe, just maybe, a little bit closer to God.
