The Christian Ear is a forum for discussing and listening to the voice of today's church.
The Lord spoke to churches,“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Rev 2&3

Happy New Year 2008
Once I discovered the Lord could ring in the New Year without my help and while I slept, I find January 1st so much more enjoyable.

Gail; -----My dad has the habit of saying, “See you next year,” when saying goodbyes in the last few days of the year. That has always annoyed me just a little, because I know there will be only a few days spans of time before I see him again, not a year. And if he is referring to the fact that in a couple days we will be representing the date with a different number, it still does not turn the passage of a day into the passage of a year. Nor do I like birthdays, the arrival of which does not make someone a year older. The New Year is just another day with a different digit at the end of its date, just like one is only another day older on his birthday, although he gets to state a higher number when asked of his age. I guess mostly what bothers me is that everyone induces so much effort into the celebration of what to me seems a bit normal. Now, I do like to make a bit of celebration on unusual days, such as 5-6-7 day of last year (May 6, 2007) and 6-7-8 day coming up this year. There are only 11 of those days per century, unless you also would like to celebrate 9-8-7 and 10-9-8 days as well. That would be two parties a year for about a decade.
