Prattville Dragoons Chaplain's Column for January 2021 - Happy New Year

 Happy New Year! 

I think most of us are glad that 2020 is behind us. What lessons do we take from this wretched year behind us ? After all, we are told that “hindsight is 20/20.”

I think we were all reminded that just how precious life is. I don’t know about you, but I lost several friends in 2020, some from the Wuhan Virus, some from other health issues.

As my mom is fond of reminding me, always tell others you love/ care for them as you may not get another chance.

We were certainly reminded that we in the Confederate Heritage front, have few friends in DC. The veil has been lifted from our eyes if any thought Republicans would stand with us.

But, most importantly, many found or reconnected with God. Millions went to Church online and found salvation. God will always take what is meant for evil and turn it to good.

What do you leave behind in 2020? If you have not done so already let your sin(s) be in the past.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17).

“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past…” (Isaiah 43:18).

“But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead…(Philippians 3:13).

Use 2021 as a chance to be a light to a very dark world.

We must be like our Confederate Ancestors, who, even in the dark times of “Reconstruction,” went home and built/ rebuilt churches, evangelized, and brought thousands to Christ.

Can we not do the same?

 

May God continue to watch over you and your families and protect you all.

And may God save the South!
