Feb 7: Winter's Chill / One Month Down

We're over the hump! Winter is more than halfway over! Yippy!

We are now over a month into the new year! As my father so succinctly put it:

One month down, eleven to go.
How are your New Year's resolutions holding up?
Have you accomplished 1/12th of what you set out to do this year?
Better get going ...

Here are some random thoughts on New Years and changing yourself.


Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let
each new year find you a better man.
-Benjamin Franklin

You are you, that's truer than true. There is no one in the world who is youer than you.
-Dr. Seuss

Every Saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.
-Oscar Wilde

Sickness and healing are in every heart. Death and deliverance are in every hand.
How suddenly we find the flesh of God within us after all, when we thought that we were only made of dust.
-Speaker for the Dead, Orson Scott Card


The winter’s chill, a bitter cold,
As sin and shame leave us to fall,
The clouds now full of newborn snow,
For grace to come and save us all,
Within the darkest night of man,
Was found Your saving hand,
For everything must die to rise again.

On the third day, behold the King,
On the third day, death has no sting,
On the third day, we’re forgiven and reconciled.
-On the Third Day, Matt Maher
