2008.12.29 Monday Morning!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! That's our prayer for you from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, located in the heart of Vinita, Oklahoma!

When we read our New Testament in English, we must remember it is a translation from the original Greek. Frequently in Greek, words have multiple meanings which we may miss in English translations.

A good example is the word "end" where "end" includes "a goal", "an aim".  Maybe that's why we make New Year's Resolutions. Not a bad idea!

We all need goals, a sense of aim.  Without them we drift.  With them life becomes a "pilgrimage" with purpose.

A good New Year's resolution: don't put off what can and ought to be done today until tomorrow.


Happy New Year! Enjoy!
Richard
