Great Intentions - Dress Up

How's the New Years resolution cycle going?  Identify the necessary change, make a commitment to change, fail to change, feel the guilt ... and do it all again next year.  What if the thing that most needs changing is our way of thinking and our heart?  Jesus speaks of the new needing to be removed from the old in Matthew 9 and Paul writes about a new wardrobe to get dressed up in in Colossians 3. How can this call to Dress Up turn my intentions into reality?
