Outlook / Overview

to nobody in particular:

...starting out this new year, i've had a verse on my mind and heart, and it is a good one to dwell on during the change of years -- and then the second verse after it, below, is one the stuck out at me this morning, that i think will encourage/challenge/strengthen me this year...

...Jesus's words here are good for the beginning of any year: "'I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.'" -- John 16:33

...and this is my verse for twenty09: "May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.'" -- Hebrews 13:20-21

...so, yeah, there we go...
