Another Year

On this New Year's Eve day, this last day of another year, as I look out upon a blue sky, a palm tree swaying in the breeze and a couple of lizards running around on the ground, a quote from Oswald Chambers comes to my mind:
"At the basis of Jesus Christ's Kingdom is the unaffected loveliness of the commonplace."

In this coming year, may the Joy of the Lord be your strength.
Happy New Year.

What Happens to Those Missing Socks...

Sad but true. Did you ever wonder what really becomes of those runaway socks that mysteriously disappear from your dryer? Well, I found out today. It's tragic really. Like most runaways, they end up living on the streets. I spotted this lonely sock just this morning as I was leaving Blockbuster video. Huddled next to the pillar for warmth, living in squalor on the dirty sidewalk next to the other trash on the ground. I felt sorry for it, but I guess it's just a sad lesson to be learned. Be sure and show this to all your socks as a warning. This could happen to them too.
