Today is the next-to-the-last day of 2019 , and many are counting the hours
until the clocks and calendars show that a new year has begun. Whatever your
plans are for the New Year's celebration , or even if you have no plans in
particular , please keep in mind that there is only One God and He created
just one of you , so take good care of you ! :)
Typically , New Year's Eve has a bustling of preparations , but one very
vital issue that must take precedence over all other preps and priorities is
the topic of safety. Care enough about your well being , and those of
others , to use good judgement at all times . Moderate all of your choices
so that you and others can enter the new year with wellness . It's worth the
effort !
Sadly , those who choose to live without good judgment frequently
cause misery for themselves and others. Each new year , it's the
unfortunate truth that the misuse of firearms and substance abuse are
too commonly found to be at the center of many mishaps and disasters.
Some recklessly discharge their firearms for celebratory purposes ,
which is quite dangerous , and it most certainly does cause fatalities.
Don't end a life with the pull a trigger , whether it is to celebrate a new year ;
or to purposely end a life due to the frustrations , disappointments or
hopelessness of this lifetime .
Learn to take it " One day at a time ".
Another issue regarding safety is drunkenness . Some statistics have
shown that as much as a 71% increase in DUI incidents occur on 12-31 to
01-01 , over the average daily rates for the year. DUI means that a person
was under the impairing influence of a drug [ legal or illegal ] and/or alcohol.
These incidents can and should be avoided ! Every year , many lives and
properties are terribly affected by the poor choices of many who misuse
various substances . Don't be one of them !

ROMANS 13

Put On Christ
…12 " The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds
of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not
in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
14 Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for
the desires of the flesh.…"
