So, it's back in with the old. I wrote this last year as the new year dawned. Hope you enjoy the music from Casting Crowns.
It's out with the old and in with the new. Yeah you're gonna lose that 20 pounds this year. You gonna start that novel that 's been rattling around your head all of your adult life . You gonna start looking forward and stop looking backward. Pray more. Laugh more; frown less. You're going to...change. And not a phony baloney Obamassiah kind of change, but instead, the real McCoy. An actual brunette to blond, fat to muscle metamorphosis. You've given up on Poe and you've adopted Sam Clements. Or maybe the other way around. In any event, another year has flown by. With the new year you sense something big on the horizon. Something life altering. For you? For all of us? You pray that we'll all still be here healthy, happy and making the same tired and unfulfilled resolutions this time next year. You take inventory of your life and realize with profound reverence that life is good and that, despite your moments of doubt, the mercy and grace of God is enough to sustain you. Regardless of kings, queens or tyrants.
Happy New Year Blogosphere!

Happy New Year, Larry. That's a great song and video. I loved the quote about a father being a man who carries photos where his money used to be. Word, that.
I recently attended a 13-session course at my church on the topic of male leadership, and how when it's strong, societies and countries thrive; and when it's weak, societies, countries and entire civilizations crumble to pieces. This song reminded me of a lot of the material in the course.
