Aloha and Hau'oli Makahiki Hou, Night Owl!

I love traditions....'Early to bed, early to rise'...so I'll head off to the rack and wake up at midnight to the noise of fireworks. I figure I'll get two or three uninterupted hours of sleep some time past two.

[ConorMacNessa]

Aloha, Shipmate! How goes it in Hawaii?

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! I used to go to bed early, but now I stay up to ring in the new year for all the Canteeners time zones....Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii. And sometimes South Korea or Baghdad or Afghanistan.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I don’t stay awake very well either...I am very good at falling asleep at the computer. LOL!

[Tax-chick]

Can I get FReeper Anoreth, USCG, daughter of Tax-chick, added to your list? “Warrior Goddess of the Coast, Please Send Trail Mix!”

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha and Hau'oli Makahiki Hou, Doc!

It's been a busy body news cycle over here lately and in the end analysis, nothing is new or informative.

Time Warp!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy New Year, Nana Hope!!

Happy New Year, Nana Hope!!

Brie baked with raspberry jam on the inside
Shrimp rings
Summer sausage
Crackers and all kinds of cheeses
Smokies in BBQ sauce
Oranges
Cookies
Cream puffs
Chocolates
Chocolates filled with liqueur - my great-aunt made sure of that while she was alive ... I buy them every year in her memory
Punch cran-ras juice mixed with sprite ... raspberry cordial to “flavor” as needed on the side ... thanks grandpa for teaching me to make that
Napolean - my Russian grandmother's recipe ... in her memory ... she had the most amazing New Year's parties
Eggnog with whiskey or rum -different strokes for different folks
Sparkling cider for the kids
Champagne
Lots of confetti and pop-its an crackers

Eat until midnight ... start about 4pm. At midnight make all the noise in the world and drink champagne and cider while watching the Times Square replay. Fireworks if any are left over from the 4th. Then smash the gingerbread things we made for Christmas (this year is a Starship Enterprise, the Coliseum, a castle, and a house ... and the friends we invited over brought a train). Then put the food away and leave the mess for the morning. Spend a few football games picking up confetti on New Year's Day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Treasure Hunt

READ: Proverbs 2:1-9

If you seek [wisdom] as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord. —Proverbs 2:4-5

On January 1, 2008, Keith Severin and his 7-year-old son, Adrien, agreed that they would spend at least 15 minutes every day that year searching together for treasure. Carlos Alcalá’s article in the Sacramento Bee described how they went out each day in every kind of weather to see what they could find. A year later their collection of coins, golf balls, recyclable bottles and cans, and various other items had yielded more than $1,000. In the process, they enjoyed many hours of companionship and fun.

If we decided to spend 15 minutes a day searching for treasure in the Bible, what would we find? Solomon wrote: “If you seek [wisdom] as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. . . . Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path” (Prov. 2:4-5,9).

Growth won’t happen all at once. But gradually, day by day, we will be changed through reading God’s Word and obeying Him. And think of the privilege and pleasure of spending time with our heavenly Father.

It begins with a willing commitment, continues with exciting discoveries, and leads to the treasure of wisdom and life.

Search the Scriptures’ precious store—
As a miner digs for ore;
Search, and you will surely find
Treasures to enrich the mind. —Anon.

Rich treasures of God’s truth are waiting to be discovered.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 1–3; Matthew 1
