In less than ten minutes the year of 2013 will be finished on this side of the International Date Line.

It has been a year of learning, growing, joy, regret, frustration, surprise and love.  Through it all, God's goodness has sustained me.  God's compassion, love, grace and mercy in my life leave me astounded and full of hope.

I thank God for 2013 and even more for the hope of 2014.

Here is the song, and thought that I am finishing the old year with and starting this New Year with.  Enjoy!
