We make a lot of commitments in this church, and through our human weaknesses and imperfections, we frequently end up needing to renew our commitments, like how I clearly need to renew my commitment to blog before noon every day. When the commitments we need to renew are covenants, we renew them by taking the Sacrament during Sacrament Meeting, but every once in a while, because of Stake Conferences or General Conferences or other possible situations, we miss a week here and there. There are some Sundays when we can't take the Sacrament.
However, that doesn't mean that we can't renew our covenants, or at least our commitments. On New Year's Eve, we tend to make resolutions, but any day can the the start of a new year or even a new life. Similarly, we can recommit to our old goals and/or commit to new goals any time we want. If we want to renew the commitments we made at baptism or in the temple, all it takes is a prayer.
This might not be an official recommitment to blogging by noon, since I recommitted and then re-recommitted so recently, by this is an acknowledgement that, if there's something you know you should be doing, and you promised to do, it's never a bad time to once again start keeping that promise. You don't have to wait for the next Sacrament Meeting or New Year's Eve to start being the person you know you should be. You can recommit at any time. Preferably now.
