I really like fresh beginnings.

A new year always arouses my imagination and anticipation about the prospects of another year when the adventure of life calls. I have been blessed to work in higher education, where courses and students change every four months. Even when I am teaching the same course I taught last semester, I have new students who will respond in different ways to the readings, the ideas and the work.

As I anticipated another year, I was reminded that life is so full that I can hardly absorb all its wonders. For many years I have read the Bible through, using different guides or Bibles.
