New Year--New Day
A new year is upon us--the former behind us.
Watching some of the New Year Eve celebrations, I pondered on the dawn of the
NEW DAY
that awaits all those in Christ, by faith.
No celebratory response will compare to that day.
The brightness of His face will outshine all the glitter and confetti of
Times Square.
As the clock ticks away,
we get nearer and nearer to the great sound of the trumpet
and our Lord's return through the clouds.
A day of great joy
and mourning.
A day of joy for those who took that leap of Faith to walk in belief.
A day of mourning for those who shunned the Great Light of Truth.
I watch
with eyes wide open
for the dawn of that
NEW DAY.
There will be no more tears...no more tears...no more tears...no more tears.
And those who Believe
will walk with the
Light of Truth
forever!

If you are reading this, this prayer is for YOU, my friend.

Father,
creator of all things seen and invisible,
touch the one reading this prayer with your unfathomable
mercy
compassion
and love.
Wrap your strong, tender arms around this precious child
and reassure this dear soul that you are with him/her.
Illuminate this treasured souls path with the
Light of Truth
and walk with my friend the rest of his/her days.
You are truly, truly most awesome,
God.
You, who are Spirit and Truth
entered our world of atoms, molecules and cells
taking upon you
a face.
I wait with longing anticipation for the moment when we will finally
SEE your FACE
and know that we are inescapably where we were meant to be all along.
With You.

Sincerely yours...

I should have been paying more attention in Grammar Class
Instead, I was daydreaming about hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Welcome Friends!
1 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life. 2 Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. 3 That's right - if you make Insight your priority, and won't take no for an answer, 4 Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt, 5 Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours; you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God. 6 And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. 7 He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. 8 He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. 9 So now you can pick out what's true and fair, find all the good trails! 10 Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. 11 Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. 12 They'll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions 13 Of those who are lost themselves and can't tell a trail from a tumbleweed... 20 So - join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried and true paths. 21 It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here.
