New Year's Note
Wednesday, December 31, 2008
As the final hours of 2008 tick away, I have thought a lot about what the last year has seen in my life and my family's life. I have also been looking ahead, with both hope and anxiety, to what the new year holds.
But most of all, I have reflected on the goodness of God's creation and the blessings of living in a time when God is working for the redemption of all things. We live in a troubled world, and we experience troubles in our own lives, but we also know that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
My prayer for you, the readers of this blog, is that you would grow increasingly in love with God and your neighbor in 2009, and that you would experience the fullness of salvation through His grace.
Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you Andrew. I read your UM Reporter article on the import of parish ministry (as opposed to other uses of a seminary degree) and was blessed by it. Thanks for the encouragement!
