After a lengthy sabatical, he sits in front of his computer, fingers ready at the keyboard. So much to say...so much to write. Topics race wildly through his mind, each fighting for the right to take their rightful place on the field of honor...the blog. Many will read the entries. Some will cry. Some will laugh. But one thing is certain...he must write, because he is...the Media Pastor.

New Year Shmoo Year

What's all the hubub about the New Year? I'm 12 hours into it, and it seems pretty much the same as the old one did.

I still have the same bills. The same problems. The same everything.

What is the big deal?

Ok...I'll admit. I did gain two new pounds at New years eve last night. But that's it.

As you can tell, the same old attitude as well.

What is it about day one of a new year that makes us think things will be different? Why do we give ourselves a sense that "this year, I'm gonna _______ (insert your own resolution)?

I'll tell you why...Hope. That is the cool thing about being human. We can hope and dream.

So on this new year's day, I hope all your dreams come true.

I also hope that my bills go away.

I can dream, can't I?
