I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

The Seasons of Life Are in God's Hands



I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe before him. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already is; and God seeks out what has gone by. (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15)

He who governed the world before I was born shall take care of it likewise when I am dead. My part is to improve the present moment. (John Wesley, 1703-1791).

I have never found the New Year very interesting. While I enjoy the celebration of Christmas, the New Year is basically a time to hang a different calendar on the wall and to spend the first month trying to remember to write 2012 instead of 2011. Most New Year’s Eves are basically quiet; some years I stay up until midnight and some years I don’t. The page on the calendar will turn whether or not I am awake to witness it.
