PROMISED BLESSING FOR THE NEW YEAR | Psalm 1

The Lord be with you in these opening days of January as a new year lies before us. So I want to suggest the resolution for your year, something that I would really like for you to consider for 2024, and in suggesting this resolution, I am going to under promise and over deliver.

And, but I know that the days after Christmas that people do talk sometimes about post Christmas blues and post Christmas let down. But you know, what happens on those days after Christmas is...

How was your vision today? How are you seeing what is going on around you? Eye doctors recommend what they call the 20 20 20 rule to see better.
