Time’s up. Cant do much for for 2004. Time to journey into another year.
Happy New Year Everyone. Thanks for pilgrimaging with me in 2004.
God give you vigor and courage and compassion and generosity to make your entry into 2005 one of hope and delight.
Cheerful prayerful thoughts from me and my household to you and yours.
God, thanks for all you did for us and in us in 2004.
For health, for life, for the chance to play.
Bless those who finished the year without homes
with less family members
without hope.
Forgive our screw ups, our rebellions, our stubborn fits of independence, our neglectful attitudes, forgive our missing of your best and our shameful downgrading to things lesser.
Give us a clean slate for next year. A new beginning. A empty vessel.
Fill us with big dreams for 2005.
Fill us with big hopes.
We will be strong and courageous
and greet the new year with outrageous boldness
because
YOU ARE WITH US!

Happy New Year. I have just come accross your blog, and hope you will join in discussion between emergents, the sceptics and those caught in the middle.
Pop over to my blog and see some of the conversations we are beginning over there, I have also added you to a new aggregator- I hope that is OK with you.
