New Year's Prayer

Dear Lord, So far this year I've done pretty good! I haven't gossiped, I haven't lost my temper, I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I'm very thankful for that.  But in a few minutes, Lord, I'm going to get out of bed, and from then on I'm probably going to need a lot more help. Amen.

Eve's Passion

This coming year, pursue passion as a priority!

To the woman he said, ...Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." (Genesis 3:16) (emphasis mine)

For years I’ve known this passage of Scripture, and quite frankly, wondered what God was talking about!  I’ve heard the last part misinterpreted by some to justify a husband’s domineering actions or attitudes, but the desire-for-your-husband part was just plain confusing.  I mean, everyone “knows” that men have, shall we say, more “pronounced” passions, right?

Auld Lang Syne

The Lyrics to Auld Lang Syne by Robert Burns

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne
