    A New Year, 2016 is here! For myself, the last year seemed to move along quite quickly, yet we all know that time is a constant and does not speed up nor slow down.
    Looking back upon last year, what did you accomplish? Graduation? A restoration project? A new job? Retirement?

    Jesus used detail from the Old Testament as he proclaimed blessing on those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, those who are merciful, pure in heart, etc. After these things, Jesus used an example that was close to the heart of God in the Law.
