Happy New Year!
It's 2019, everyone.
I'm not quite sure what to make of that. 2018 was plenty strange-- and I don't think 2019 is going to mark a return to normalcy.
And yet... think of 50 years ago.1968 was ending, a year marked by the Vietnam war, the murders of Matin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy, and political tumult. Richard Nixon was elected president. And the new year, 1969, was a little better.
We need to find hope where we can. I had a piece in the Waco Trib last Sunday about that; you can read it here.
