How powerful where you wrote "in the beginning" as we contemplate this new day/year. It reminds me of an old saying, "today is the first day of the rest of your life" or something like that because each day we make a choice as to how we will live that day. Sure, there may be interruptions, frustrations, ect-it's life, but we decide how we enter into it and grow through. "Choose you this day whom you will serve." That is our choice everyday at every moment in different situations and circumstances. I'm getting off track! I'm a pastor-rabbit trails aren't foreign to some of us!😁 Point is in the beginning, this day, this new year, I choose to continue to be transformed to become more Christlike through participating in the means of grace and spiritual disciplines. I also choose to give myself and others grace when things don't go as planned or desired. I choose to be appropriately vulnerable and to be held accountable. I choose to make physical and mental health a priority and not just run myself ragged, trying to do everything by myself. "I choose joy in chaos and a peace that makes no sense." I choose Jesus! Always and forever, Jesus!!!! Happy New Year! Looking forward to this ongoing journey with all who participate here. God bless🤗.

To this day, I can’t read John 1:10-11 without getting tears in my eyes. I just always find this so tragic, now that I know. I sure hope I recognize Him when He returns!!!
