A new year brings fresh outlook and a world of possibilities! There are resolutions to be made and calendars with lots of empty spaces just waiting to be filled. For the most part, we come up with these ideas on our own, but then there are other activities which are passed on to us unexpectedly....

The beginning of a New Year affords us a  fresh start; but let us base all of our commitments on the understanding that unless Jesus does the work in us, our intentions are in vain.
