I had watched as my sisters and brother went off to school every day, and I could hardly wait for my turn. On my first day of school, my sisters and I started out to meet the school bus. But suddenly I was afraid. I told my sisters I had decided to stay home. They argued and pled, but I was not going.
Finally, they had to go on or miss the bus, so they sent me back home to Mother, who was totally surprised to see me. Then Daddy came in from the ranch and—after the spanking—drove me to school.
A new era can be exciting and it can be frightening. That’s true today, as we start an uncharted, untried year. What will 2008 bring? We don’t know, but with God, all is well.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
