Every Sunday we stand and boldly proclaim our faith. The creed we use is ancient and is the result of many discussions and even a few councils. During the infancy of the Church, many people made assumptions about who Jesus was, whether or not He was really the Son of God, and just how He was the Son of God. These Christological Controversies led to some very serious study. From this study came pages and pages of theology that even today are valuable in our pursuit of holiness.

Since I have been a working person, I have been of the mind that New Year's Day should not be a holiday. Instead we should add a holiday in August when the weather is good, and we all need a bit more time off. New Year's Day comes in the middle of winter and after a couple of other holidays. Perhaps I am alone in this opinion, but I thought I would share it with you…maybe this will start a movement.
