This week is a “between week.”  Maybe a time for a breath, or to enjoy the leftover turkey sandwich, or return that sweater that just doesn’t fit.  However this week comes to you, it is a week that usually is a break from the rush up to the holidays.  Let me suggest that we also take some quiet time with God.  Consider your relationship with God, and look to the New Year with spiritual resolutions that will develop our love and devotion to our Savior. 

Because this is a “between week”, our service Sunday will be built around a Hymn Sing, where we can get that chance to hear our favorite carols in this Christmas season, and maybe slip in an “old favorite or two.” 

However you get to spend your week, I pray that it is refreshing for you all.

Peanuts and Goal Setting

Charlie Brown is at bat. Strike Three!  He has struck out again and slumps over to the bench.    “Rats! I’ll never be a big-league player.  I just don’t have it!  All my life I’ve dreamed of playing in the big leagues, but I know I’ll never make it.”

Lucy turns to console him. “Charlie Brown, you’re thinking too far ahead.  What you need to do is set yourself more immediate goals.”  He looks up.  “Immediate goals?”  Lucy says, “Yes. Start with this next inning when you go out to pitch.  See if you can walk out on the mound without falling down!”

Take one thing at a time and work on that. —William Powell Tuck
