The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life." -- Revelation 22:17

As I consider how this year has passed so quickly, I can't help but think how much faster it has passed than the year before... and that one faster than the year before that.  The older we get, the faster time seems to move.  And throughout the years, there has been a standing invitation to live a life that God intends.  Each day, we live by choice.  We decide whether we will work or not, play or not, pray or not, worship or not, love or not.  Our freewill is constantly being exercised.  And ever before us is God's invitation to "come".  Given that you're reading this, I trust you have answered God's invitation.  In the coming year, deepen your commitment, and remember to share with others God's invitation to a new life in Christ.  Peace.
