We all face difficult circumstances, but Daniel was facing death. King Nebuchadnezzar put Daniel in an impossible situation, so He turned to God for help.

Over the course of 2023, a common thread emerged. This week we stop and reflect on the past year and how the messages impacted our lives.

Auld Lang Syne, a song with a history very few people know. In fact, it's rare to find anyone who knows the lyrics or the meaning. Auld Lang Syne is a song that celebrates "the Good Old Days", and was originally used at memorials or funerals. So why use it as an anthem, to celebrate the year ahead?

Inspiration can sometimes come from very surprising places. This year an unusual source offers a great reminder.

The word 'Merry' rarely appears in our vocabulary. In fact, Christmas may be the only time of year people use the word at all. There is an Christmas Carol with unknown origins, that uses this word in the title. The question is, what does the song actually mean?

The Head Basketball Coach at Baylor University instituted something into the program, that spread across the campus, "A Culture of Joy". Drew simply states, "The love and joy they have for each other is definitely a key to our success."

Joy is different from happiness. Where Joy is a measure of how good we feel over time, Happiness is about what makes us feel good in the present moment.

We all have moments when things aren't going the way we'd like, when stress and pressure can easily take the forefront. Sometimes the best thing we can do is intentionally change our perspective by reflecting on all reasons we have to be thankful.

We are all programmed today to be negative. We are surrounded by negative news, and negative opinions. We are quick to go negative! But what would our lives look like if we learned to count the blessings we have been given in life? When was the last time you truly felt grateful for something?

We've all heard the phrase, climbing the ladder. The problem is we're not always climbing the right ladder. The good news is, once you realize you're heading in the wrong direction, one step can change everything!
