I knew I was nominated (by dear blog-sistah Linda) but today I noticed that I was a finalist.
And then thoughtful MFS sent me the button below. MFS aka Mental Mulitvitamin is nominated in the literary/book blog category.

You can click right on that big ole BOB button and vote for this blog. That is, if you think I am worthy :o)

This is just my favorite so I will post it again for the New Year.

Let nothing disturb thee,
Let nothing affright thee.
All things are passing.
God never changes.
Patience gains all things.
Who has God wants nothing.
God alone suffices.

-St. Theresa of Avila

Dear Lord,
Thank you for the gift of new year.
Help me to live it in a way that will bring you glory.
For without you I can do nothing.
Yet I am full of hope for you promise to be with me every step of the way.
Amen
