A prayer for the new year from Colossians1:9-14 --
Father, I ask that each one reading this would be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that they and I may live and converse with the world in a way that is worthy of and fully pleasing to You, bearing fruit in every good work to which we are appointed, even as we increase in our knowledge of You.
I ask that You will strengthen us with all power, according to Your own glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, for which we give thanks continually to You -- the One who has qualified us for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light. For You, Father, have delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of Your beloved Son -- in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

Thank you, Mush, for this and all you do here. Know that it means a lot to us out here in the wilderness.
Happy New Year and peace to you and your family in 2013.
Amen, and thanks.
Happy New Year to you and yours, Mushroom.
Now that there is a good prayer.
(Just picked up a Jerry Clower CD from the $5 bin at Walmart. So that is the voice you should be hearing as you read that.)
Happy New Year my friends.
Thank you all, and happy new year.
