The Close of 2021

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:20-21

2021 ends in yet another disaster and one not far away from us in this little corner of Colorado. Our love is called upon and our faith tested once more. Hundreds of people lost their homes yesterday as the front winds of a winter storm brought a fast-moving fire to southwest Boulder County. About the time they have the fires under control, all may be covered in snow tonight...and cold. Prayers for mercy, comfort, and restoration are needed from those of faith in our Lord Jesus. None of us of course wanted to end this year on such a note as this.

Jude said to keep yourselves in the love of God. Some of the comments I've read online this morning certainly remind me of why Jude would need to say this. Let us pray in love for those who have suffered loss this year.

In Christ our Savior,

Bucky
