Our New Year’s Eve, 2024

Well, we had to go to bed early–no staying up to watch the fireworks, this New Year’s Eve. We did have a thunderstorm that woke me around 11:00. Then it stopped; and before I fell back asleep, I heard our local fireworks show.

The one in the video was held in Japan. Ours was pretty small potatoes, by comparison. But at least we got some 15 minutes of kaboom.

Now it’s a New Year. Our country survived the 2024 elections. We have another chance to put things right.

Let’s not waste it.

‘Deck the Halls’

Gee–what’s a suitable hymn for New Year’s Day? I had to rack my brain a bit before I came up with Deck the Halls. “Fast away the old year passes…” Yo, 2024–don’t let the door hit you in the kiester on your way out.

We are wide open for hymn requests, but as yet none have come in for today.

(I know, I know–up too late last night, weren’t we?)
