New Year hopes & Epiphany visions.

“The land you are…to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.  It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.”  (Deuteronomy 11:11-12)

A good journey begins with knowing where you are and being willing to go somewhere else. (Richard Rohr)

Happy New Year & A Blessed Epiphany!

This week, amidst great political unrest, we stand at the threshold of the unknown.  Before us lies a new year, an open road and we are going forward to take possession of it.  Who knows what we will find?  What new experiences or changes will come our way?  What new needs will arise?  In spite of the uncertainty before us, we have a comforting message from our heavenly Father: “The Lord your God cares for it; the eyes of the Lord are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.” …The Father comes near to take our hand and lead us on our way today.  It will be a good and blessed New Year!

On behalf of all of us at Theological Horizons, I THANK YOU for your partnership, prayers, and tremendous generosity throughout 2020. 

As 2021 begins, may God give us the courage to go to a new places and find, among the most common, ordinary people, the One we truly seek: Jesus.
