May Our Lord Jesus Christ bless & keep you & your families and prosper you throughout this 2020 New Year! As the Lord was preparing me to write this newsletter He revealed to me the significance of the year 2020. Clear Vision. Perfect Sight. This comes when we keep our focus on the one who is seated at the right hand of God Almighty. Jesus Christ. The Message translation of the bible puts it like this: Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed - that exhilarating finish in and with God - he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls! The famous hymn we often sing in church service,” Be Thou My Vision” best says it.

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art, Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. + Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word, I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord, Thou my great Father, I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. +Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou mine Inheritance, now and always, Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.+ Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art, Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.+ High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all... Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all!
