Happy NEW Year, everyone! I'm starting the NEW year, by visiting my NEW grandson (not yet 3 months old), taking some NEW medication that I hope will help my depression, starting a NEW Bible study (I Corinthians on DVD by Berachah Church - they send these out free folks), and continuing my NEW expression (novels) of an old love (writing).

Isn't this what happens when we pray? We give over our worries to God for Him to take care of and He was
