Prompted by the
two-faced Roman god Janus, for whom January is named, we usually spend awhile
looking ahead and looking back as a year begins.
We’ll likely experience
a mix of disappointment and satisfaction reviewing 2017; though some may feel overwhelmed
with disappointment, few would claim to be completely satisfied.
Perhaps you
believe in a God who so overturned the events of a day of death, injustice, and
darkness we call that day, “Good Friday.” Because of this, several January’s from
now you may be able to look back on some events of 2017 and say, “Now I get
it.”
