Happy New Year to you and yours, John! To think it was a year ago that you invited us on the Holy Lens journey. Thank you for that!

I too have been thinking if watching Tinker Tailer again. Have you ever wanted Spy Games with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt? It's very good and is kind of a commentary on the difference between old school CIA boys and the young ones

As for the New Year's resolutions, I tend not to make any but I would say: D) All of the above with a strong focus on getting organized. We built this house 4 years ago and I need a giant purge and organizing of things so that I'm not constantly digging through boxes looking for things--mostly sewing supplies as I'm getting back into sewing more for the Littles and as a sideline.

Well all the best for a blessed 2026! And I love the cover!

And to you! I'm proud of the work we did on Holy Lens and the book that resulted...a great project! I saw that Spy Games was available and I haven't watched it...maybe it will be next! Getting organized is not easy- I never know where to start! I'm glad you liked the cover ... I've been through about 50 different approaches and finally decided to just keep it simple! Blessings to you and yours!

I don't understand why more people don't start the year off right by being in God’s word, or getting closer to Him as a resolution. Why don't they know that only through Him can their year be made right?

We need to do a better job of making people realize that! My DAY wouldn't be right or good if I didn't start it in His word, much less my year.

Yes! Great thoughts Kim! I agree entirely!

thanks for the link! (Was thinking of TTSS, but the Alec Guinness one, this Christmas break; need to rewatch both!)

Certainly! That was a great post! I don't know if I have ever seen the Alec Guinness one ... adding to my list!
