Forgive me if I have said this before, but, "Happy New Year." It may be the epitome of redundancy but I have given this greeting for 60 years and I mean it as sincerely this year as I have all the years preceding.

I am so glad that the rising of the sun is not in the hands of some
political committee somewhere. Wherever two or three politicians are 
gathered together, there is gridlock. If a political committee were 
responsible for the rising of the sun, it would never rise. The only 
thing a political committee can do when it comes to the phenomenon of 
rising is in the area of taxes and their salaries. 

As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow so will our taxes and so will the
salaries of the politicians. Would be great the politician's salary was 
tied to the economy? If the economy was up, the politicians would get a 
raise. If the economy went down, the politicians would take a cut in 
salary. 

I am not sure how to do that, but if it ever became law in our country,
the economy of our country would be on the rise for generations to 
come. 

Another redundancy that I am delighted to participate in and that is the
mercies of God. "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, 
because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is 
thy faithfulness" (Lamentations 3: 22-23 KJV). 

Although repeated daily, God's mercies are never redundant.
