Happy New Year!

I hope you and family had a Merry Christmas. As we enter this new year I wish you and your family a Happy New Year. We're embarking on a new year, and our minds are drawn to new commitments, or even fresh versions of previous commitments. Whether your hope for 2008 includes a better way of balancing your budget, or simply finding less of you to balance on your bathroom scales,almost everyone is in a mood to consider change as the New Year approaches.

The challenge from the Bible could encompass all of that change. Ephesians 4:1 "I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received." The Bible message is that we're expected to walk in a different way once we follow Christ. Walking as a follower of Jesus requires a different step than the rest of the world.

I pray that as we enter this new year we will walk in the name of Jesus and allow him to direct our path.
Happy New Year!
