This One Thing

Today is both the first day and the first Sunday of a new year. And as we look back over the last 12 months, I’m not sure whether most of us would be considered pitchers or batters. One thing is for sure, though, and that’s that at times we have all struck out.

So I guess it’s good to be able to start over afresh. This week most boys and girls will have to return to their school classrooms. A lot of young people will be heading off to college. And most of us are recovering from the activities of the Christmas and New Year’s seasons and are anticipating getting back to our jobs and the activities of the new year.
