New Year - Happy or Not

John Atkinson · #1 12-31-2009, 07:12 AM

An optimist stays up till midnight to bring in the new year, a pessimist stays up till midnight to make sure the old one leaves.

I am doing a little of both because 2009 just plain stunk. Praying for a better 2010.

Anyone haveing watchnight services?

What's a "watch-night" service?

so glad we're not "watching the night"!!! I'll be snoozing away, knowing 2009 leaves and 2010 arrives without my help!!! of course, there'll be fireworks going off to wake me and remind me!

I won't be at a watchnight service. Only one other time in 19 years do I remember not having watchnight service. (The church I was in at the time didn't have watchnight service in 2000. We were told to stay home and be in prayer... after all, the world as we knew it was supposed to end.)

2009 was unique for me, but tomorrow is only a day from today. My great grandmother believed that whatever you do on Jan 1 you will do all year. That's never worked for me. Still, I think I'll sleep the new year in!

Or maybe I could manipulate the old wives tale... I could just log onto AFF at midnight!

We have a regular service tonight. But it will end around 9:00-9:30
