Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 says, “everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. … He has set the right time for everything.” [GNB] As with every new year, most of us start out with new hopes and aspirations. We have a long list of « 10 DOZ Magazine January 2018 things we want to achieve, acquire, and habits we want to build or lose. This is that time of the year when millions of resolutions are made – only to be forgotten or ditched before the end of the first quarter.
