There's Many a Slip Twixt Cup & Lip

Good Morning and Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone is off to a Good start for 2026! I heard a Great proverb the other day that seems applicable in so many ways to the new year. "There's Many a Slip Twixt Cup and Lip" While not a biblical verse it still reflects biblical themes, Faith, Humility, Dependance. In any circumstance, even when success appears certain, unexpected issues can readily arise. Another words, don't count your chickens until they hatch! I also think there is another side to this, when things look there darkest the chance for a turn always exists! It's not over until it's Over! So much of life involves us realizing our limited knowledge and understanding. The path to navigation is Faith. In order to build our Faith we need to humble ourselves and realize our dependance on God. The more we rely on his strength instead of our own the stronger we will be. I hope that 2026 is your best year ever. I wish for your increased acceptance and understanding which will lead to greater peace. I Pray you choose the path of least resistance, which is FAITH!
