But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
-- Psalm 103:17-19
This is something that I am going to try and keep in mind as we move into a new year -- really, I think, a new era: God is in control. We have a King, and we are citizens of no mean city.
In the coming weeks and months, there will be pressure on us all the time with endless fear-mongering in the news cycles. It will be hard not to worry, at least part of the time. The nearest thing I have to a resolution is to fret less — but I'm not going to fret about being fretless, more or less. Instead I will try to focus on God's grace and goodness in my life and on the troubles of the day, which, as Jesus said, are sufficient in themselves.
I have a little project started that — if it works out, and that is definitely IF — I will be sharing more fully here. In the interim, my intent is to slightly increase my posting frequency with a corresponding decrease in verbiage — a verse or quote of the day kind of thing.

My wife and I have been cutting way back on the continuous news drip and talk radio since the election. Kind of nice, actually. But we do keep an antenna up just so we can know when to duck.
A new project and higher frequency - that's what I call a win-win for us in 2013. :-)
Did somecoon say, "new project"?
That's like ringing the dinner bell.
Where do I sign.
I don't know. I had an idea, and I'm trying to work it out. It sounds good in my head, but getting it written down is a different deal. When I start putting it into words, it keeps changing on me. I don't know if I can get it coherent without making it meaningless.
Anyway, I'm going to work at it for a while. If it does come together in some fashion, however gimpy, I'll post it. I think you'll get to read the "prequel" at least, in a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure about the body.
