A simple idea with important consequences:

Some of you began January with grand visions – reading the Bible, getting exercise, praying, having a new neighbor over each month, or something similar.

It is now the end of April, and you see that your visions faded into fantasy. And with that, you have lost hope.

Don’t.

Why not begin again? Tomorrow is the first day of May. If you were on a ‘through the Bible’ reading plan, pick up tomorrow with the reading that is for May 1 and go on from there. Whatever your goal, you can begin fresh tomorrow. Forget what is past. Start again.

All is not lost.

May 1 is the new New Year. (Which, of course, makes April 30 the new New Year’s Eve! Yeah!)
