New Year -- All Things New!

Behold, I Make All Things New!

-Revelation 21

Happy New Year! And Grace and Peace to you for 2010. Every year we do it: we watch the ball or is it an apple, drop from the building on Times Square. When it hits bottom, the fireworks light the sky, the whoops and hollers reach become a cacophonous din, champaign flows, and kisses abound. Hope is found anew, another year begins. The following day is a big holiday -- the roads are clear as people stay home and enjoy a time apart from the hustle and bustle of their lives. This is wonderful, it is good. However, at its very best the new year serves as a reminder that the Holy Mystery that we know as God in Christ is continually making all things new -- each and every moment of our lives. So, enjoy your new year and remember that each moment is a celebration of the newness that is ours in Jesus Christ.
