New Year

It is 1/1/2017 - the first day of the new year! I did not ring in (or celebrate) the new year in a special way. I was not at a party or special event. I did not even watch the countdown on tv. And, the first day was very busy. I completed and submitted an assignment & completed other work. I just completed Day 8 of the 31-day scripture writing challenge on prayer I am taking & added it to Pinterest.

Day 8 on Prayer. Very interesting.
My note: Matthew 6 is full of information on how to pray - pray in secret, do not use many words etc. "Many words" - I think this means there is no need for long prayers that include certain "cookie-cutter" details, that repeat the same things over and over, are complex, or are polished/enhanced to seem smart. Your prayers should reflect you - your style and personality. (FahmeenaOdetta)

2017 is off to a great start! I expect it to be a very busy year. In 2017, I will continue to march towards that PhD.
