Hey New Year
It's time for resolutions! Wouldn't it be amazing if we could summon a montage and instantly become great at that thing we've resolved to do in the new year?

Simeon's encounter with Jesus illustrates for us why remaining committed to spiritual formation is a worthy task, and a good reminder as we enter this new year!

Because their books are so short, we call them the Minor Prophets. But while their writings are short, their message has major implications for our lives today.
