I am starting off 2009 with a quote I read yesterday that really impacted me.

"'Christ be with me, Christ before me, Christ be after me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ at my right hand, Christ at my left.' Surrounded by Christ, we will pass safely through this world to the next." -Patrick of Ireland & Ann Spangler

Praise the Lord that "in Him all things hold together." (Colossians 1:17b) God be glorified in 2009 (and always!).
