> Another day, another new year. Over 27,000 times, I have woken up to a new day, looking back at what I did or failed to do and anticipating what is to come in the hours ahead.
> Every morning for the past 20+ years, I have begun my day reading Scripture and several other devotionals. I read the Old and New Testament from start to finish each year and there is always something "new" in what I read as my mind seems to focus on different elements of the daily portion. One of my devotionals is a little daily calendar I bought in Saratoga, Wyoming sometime in the early 2000's and the entry for January 1 starts my new year off every year since:
> O Lord
> Help me to live this year
> Quietly, easily
> To lean upon Thy great strength
> Trustfully, restfully
> To wait for the unfolding of Thy will
> Patiently, serenely
> To meet others
> Peacefully, joyfully
> To face each tomorrow courageously
>
> I pray this for each and every one of us, and for a world so needy for the thoughts expressed and the importance of attaining them in our lives. Be with us all, Lord, now and forever.

Thanks for that, Hal. I've been negligent trying to read your blogs; promise to do better. Hope you have another good year in Eureka!
