Good morning all you wonderful people...

Happy New Year. May this be a year of rich blessing, a time of drawing near to our gracious and merciful God.

This post is meant for each of you ATRWers but I haven't learned to use the "ping" list and only a few names appear on the "To:" line.

Good Morning, ONG. Happy New Year to you and yours, and may it be a good one full of God's blessings.

Only a few names appear on the line, but they are all entered when you use the ping list. your post shows up on my "pings" even though you can't see my name on the list.

Some lists are way bigger than the ATRW ping list (JohnHuang2's, for example). The same few names show up when he posts but all of us get the pings.

Good morning, and thank you for your inspiring New Year's greeting. Sometimes we forget that the Lord is in control and what seems like a terrible event for us turns out to be the best thing for us in the long run. I am reminded of how we were all disheartened when Clinton remained in office, but as it turns out Gore would have been WORSE, plus he would no doubt, with the power of incumbency, defeated George Bush and would have been in charge on September 11, 2001.

One of my New Year's efforts will be to gain patience and acceptance of those things which seem to be bad news, especially on the political scene.
