"This is the day the Lord has made; let us
rejoice and be glad in it." This is the day when we remember
that the Lord has made all our days.
The month of January is named Janus, one of the few
Roman gods without a Greek counterpart. Janus was depicted as having
a double face. One face looked to the past and the other looked
ahead to the future. Janus was thought to influence beginnings and
endings and was found at doorways and entrances of one’s home.
January is the time when many of us take an
inventory of the past and make resolutions for the future.
Resolutions have to do with looking at things in our lives that we
need to change. I believe that any significant change takes time,
commitment, and remembering. On the 4th of
January a person came up to me and said "I have not been in
church in a long time but wanted to start coming again every week. I
made a resolution to be in Church and be active again." This
will take time and commitment.
January looks to be an exciting time for our nation.
The 20th will surely be a historical day.
Change is coming but significant change is slow. We pray for our new
president and all who strive for peace.
This is the Day that the Lord has made let us
rejoice and be glad in it. Come and worship every week and share in
the fellowship one with another.
