Go online and you can read thousands of manifestos which proclaim "Why I am ... a vegan," or a socialist, atheist, separatist, etc. In this text, Paul explains why he is an apostle.
"Why am I the way I am?" Or, "Who am I anyway -- really?"
We're six days into the new year and it's a safe bet that we've asked some version of these questions. "I am the way I am because I don't exercise and I eat three cheeseburgers every week and wash it down with a 64-ounce Big Gulp soda" (not in New York City, of course). Who am I? Our answers will vary, but we might say on this first Sunday of the year, "I am an overfed, under-exercised human being who spends too much on fuel for the three vehicles I own, who's too materialistic and too busy making money to support my habits, not to speak of supporting the spouse, kids, dogs and cats."
On the first Sunday of the new year it's tempting for us to talk about new year's resolutions -- you know, all those things people promise to do or stop doing in the coming year that will make their life better, improve their health, etc. Some psychologists, however, tell us that all this talk about resolutions is really a waste of time.
