Happy Gnu Year!
A quick story. The first New Years Eve Kelly and I spent together as Mr. and Mrs was on a cruise ship docked in the port of Nassau in the Bahamas (our honeymoon was a month after the actual wedding). In Nassau they have the "Junkanoo" festival and parade on New Years Eve starting about 11:00pm and continuing well into the night. We intended to go ashore and watch part of the parade so we thought it would be wise to get in a quick nap that evening. I was the first to wake up, at about 5:00am. We obviously didn't get ashore,but the parade was still going strong when Kelly woke later New Years morning.
Aside from the ship, the parade and the warm weather, this New Years Eve is likely to be spent celebrating much like that first one. Sound asleep. Boy, are we getting old (or just boring).
God, help us be all that you want us to be in this coming year. Give us the strength to deal with the inevitable adversities we will encounter and to recognize and enjoy the blessings you send our way. Amen.
Happy New Year to all!!!!!
