Happy New Year!

Christian Action League

The tugging ship is unmoored; her sails are filling with the breeze;

She sniffs the spray with her nostrils; her rigging grows

taut like giant muscles; the course is set; the pilot is at the helm –

the New Year is outward bound!

We, too, are a ship.

Each New Year we sail forth upon a sea heretofore unraveled

by our humankind.

The winds of ambition fill our sail, and the waves of adversity

dash upon our decks. 

We touch at ports of call – the old familiar duties; but, O, the

New ports with wealth of experiences and

color and adventure!

Sail out, O soul of mine!

That which alone matters is that the pilot has enough faith

to trust the unknown! [1]

A New Year’s Prayer: God of our fathers, we pray for a restoration of belief in old-fashioned morality. Make us to know that some things are eternally right and others everlastingly wrong. Thus may we make a beginning toward righting the wrongs of our sin-sick world. [2]

– We pray in Christ’s name, Amen
