January 1, perhaps more than any other day of the year, is a day on which people commit to making changes in their lives. Regardless of whether you have made any New Year's resolutions, the first of the year is as good a time as any to evaluate your habits. What habits might you need to discard, or what new habits might you need to practice? More importantly, what do your commitments say about your relationship with God? Let's ring in 2012 with a look at the commitments we can make this year and beyond. Key Scriptures: Joshua 24:14-28; Matthew 5:33-37; 11:28-29. Next Sunday is the first Sunday after Epiphany, the day on which we commemorate the visit of the magi. The word epiphany refers to a sudden awareness or insight. Scientist think they be on the verge of an epiphany. Researchers at CERN in Switzerland believe they are one step closer to finding the Higgs boson particle, sometimes called the "God particle," which is responsible for giving matter mass. LinC looks at how science can help us better appreciate the magnitude of all that God has created.
