Hi everyone,
Wow, can you believe it? It's 2008! Call me a sentimentalist, but I think it's really neat that we've lived through the turn of the century (at least, those who are 10 years old and up), and that by now, a child who was born at the turn of the century is now seven years old (I only know one turn-of-the-century kid, though).

What's beautiful about the New Year, though, is that we get a chance to start anew. We can ditch the habit of eating too much junk food, smoking, or other bad things. It's like getting a second chance.
This resembles God's forgiveness of our sins through His Son, Jesus Christ. Because Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, every time we do something wrong, we can always ask God for forgiveness and we'll always be forgiven.
That is not to say, however, that we can do something nasty and say, "Oh, sorry, God!" then go back to whatever sinful thing we're doing. When we ask God for forgiveness, we need to be determined to end whatever bad practice we were doing right then and there. It might be easy, it might not, but God will grant us the grace we need in order to subdue it.
Isn't that a wonderful thing?
For the Gospel!
