Happy New Year 2022! Can you believe we've entered a brand new year? Yes, and here's wishing all my wonderful readers out there a great year ahead!
We have, indeed, entered a new season (winter) and a new year! And, as we all know, there is a time and a season for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1.
2022 has arrived! My, how time flies. It's, definitely, a time to reflect, to harvest insights, and to learn from the challenges we experienced in 2021. But it's also a time to be grateful for all of the extraordinary blessings we received throughout the year, as well!
Further, now is the time, if you haven't already started, to begin planning and laying the foundation for your next chapter in 2022 - a more excellent chapter of our lives!
My personal goal for 2022, in brief, is become a better person this year than I was last year, and to make my own modest contribution to making our world a better place.
Yet, while reflecting and planning ahead, we all still need to stay vigilant and up-to-date on the COVID 19 pandemic (especially with the new, rapidly spreading omicron variant). In order to stay up-to-date, I recommend following these reliable Coronavirus Resources:
Coronavirus Resource Center - Johns Hopkins University & Medicine
Coronavirus Resource Center - Harvard Health/ Medical School
Coronavirus 2020 Outbreak: Latest Updates - Web MD
The above listed resources provide answers to many of the most common questions we're all still asking, as well as providing reliable information on vaccines, boosters, testing, and the wisdom of something as simple as wearing a mask.
And I'm thanking God that the vaccines have arrived, and are freely available to all those eligible in the U. S.
For my regular readers, here is my "Best of 2021" Year-in-Review of #churchtech, #faith, and #social media - "The Best of Church and Social Media 2021."
Wishing Everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2022!!
