Reflection

On the eve of a new year, one starts to mull over all the happenings of the past year. My head spins at this thought.. has a year really come and gone and what happened to all the days in between? Its like they were thrown into a huge trash compactor, made into one of those neat little cubes and spit out to be stacked up and placed in line with all the past years. How do you stop time... capture small pieces from this continual movement of memories created... mind blowing isnt it..
So I reflect and think what a ebb and tide it has been this year. From a country and with a conservative Christian president in office to the first black liberal man elected, from a time of financial windfall to economic crisis, from a start of 2008 with a new heartbeat to the loss of two unborn children and now to the blessing of our second trimester starting today for a child we certainly will carry to term, from the beginnings of our oldest son learning the Gospel to his baptism in November...I reflect. Time can't stop, it must move forward so even as we reflect we move with it...
