Dec.31.01: Light For The Day -- "The Gate of the Year."

-- 2 Samuel 22:29 (NIV)
"You are my lamp, O LORD;
the Lord turns my darkness into light."

---------------------
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
"Give me the light that I may tread safely into the unknown."

And he replied:
"Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way."
