of self-assessment and repentance
that demands personal honesty and,
ultimately, reinforces humility.
Breaking them is part of the cycle.

According to the Chinese calendar, 2010 will be the Year of the Tiger. To the UN General Assembly, it’s the Year of Biodiversity; to Saskatchewan, it’s the Year of the Métis; to techies it’s the year of many mind-boggling gadgets; to pessimists, it’s the year the world ends; to Canada, it’s the year of the Olympics; and to Hollywood, it’s The Year We Make Contact.
What will 2010 mean to you? Come share your vision for 2010 at the following readings.
