I was preparing a radio program for New Years Eve.  I suggested that a picture vision, deep purpose, making and keeping promises, and prayer might be a good strategy for your business.  I heard of a business man whose business was kept alive week by week for over five years.  He often spent mornings in prayer, sometimes on his knees, sometimes just listening.

He often found courage, a good idea, and some very different action to take in his morning waiting.  Sometimes he just called for help.  The business is now very successful.  Maybe keeping promises, perseverance, and prayer is not a bad strategy for life, business, and now in war.

The future of the Middle East, Iraq, and our war effort against the forces of islamo-fascist terrorism, sectarianism, and darkness will be profoundly influenced by how we believe, pray, and act this year. 
May we do it all well.
