New Day, New Year

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

A New Year’s Resolution: Peace Now!

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Open our hearts to the message of peace this year.
Open our hearts to see neighbors instead of enemies.
Open our hearts to see faithful believers instead of lost souls.
Open our hearts in compassion for brothers and sisters everywhere.
Open our hearts to the message of peace.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Anybody know a cure for a hang-over?”

[Well… it has possibilities, but no, He never said it.]

D. Blog: One Day at a Time

Each day brings something like a new birth for us. Each day also brings the start of a new year. Perhaps we should celebrate every morning with a “Happy New Day!” If we are awake to them, each day begins with new hope, new possibility and new promise. If we are alert to them, each day ushers in a wealth of surprises and knowledge. If our eyes are open, each day lays joyous treasures and opportunities before us. Thus, I resolve to unwrap the gifts of each day in 2009.
