Burning Bowl Service

Jeff and I went to a church service on New Year's Eve. I honestly can't remember the last time I went to a church service.

The service consisted of prayer (including "for everything there is a season") and music. As we entered, we were given a pencil and a strip of paper. During the last hymn, we wrote a list of things we wanted to put behind us. As we left the church, we dropped our papers into a fire.

I loved the symbolism. How can you move ahead with new year's resolutions if you're burdened with things better left behind?

I hope I can make it work.
