HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2008 is here. 2007 flew by. They say the older you get the faster it goes. YIKES!

It is time for the New Year's resolutions to come out. I have a a few of my own. My most difficult one personally is to only drink soda on Mondays. I have gone 100 days without caffeinated beverages but I could have Sprite and caffeine free soda. None of that this time.

This was recited at church on Sunday morning. I liked it so I thought I'd share.

I am the new year. I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.

I am your next chance at the art of living. I am your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.

All that you sought and didn't find is hidden in me, waiting for you to search it but with more determination. All the good that you tried for and didn't achieve is mine to grant you when you have fewer conflicting desires.

All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will, all the faith that you claimed but did not have - these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong purpose.

I am your opportunity to renew your allegiance to Him who said, "Behold, I make all things new."
