I was asked today if I had a word or a song for the new year.
I sort of did and sort of didn’t. I know a lot of people make New Year resolutions but falter after a month or so.
That’s why I don’t make resolutions. I’m one of those people who falter…
So now I choose a word for each year. This year will be no exception.
My word for 2022 is FEARLESS
And this song by the Christian Metalcore band For Today says it all.
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We are fearless
Fearless
We bear the mark of the uncreated God so what should we fear?
We bear the scars of the holy risen son so tell me what should we fear
Every threat is hollow because our victory is already set in stone
We are the fearless
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid)
For we know that You are near
For we know that You are near
I can feel the courage rising in the hearts of the sons of God
I can feel a fire burning across the Earth we stand as one
We are not dismayed by the darkness that surrounds us here because we know that when all
Hell closes in, if we stand and fight, we are not alone
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death (we are not alone)
We will fear no evil for You are near
We are fearless
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid)
For we know that You are near
For we know that You are near
We can’t stop the kingdom, You’ll see me bow at the throne of judgement day
So let the devil come
We are fearless
Fearless
So let the devil come!
So there you have my statement for the new year…be FEARLESS!
I had Brandon for the weekend though I really wanted to go my friends funeral and visit Angie for a few days. She went to the wake since I wasn’t going to make it town.
Angie and her boys opted out of fireworks and stayed home watching movies.
Brandon talked me into going to get 25 worth of fireworks. It was fun but they sure don’t last very long😥
We watched Black Widow while Angie and the boys were watching Shang-Chi. If you are a Marvel universe fan and have not seen Shang-Chi you should. It’s like in my top 3 right now! Very good!!
I will try writing more this year I promise. Charity and I will continue our series of Understanding Men and their “need” for porn. Maybe I can talk her into doing one with me entitled Understanding Women🤔😂🤣 Yeah…nah
Deb, I want to thank you for bestowing me with your Beetreegathering Bee-utiful Award!
I am beyond honored. I will start on it soon.
I checked my stats earlier today for last year and none of my posts from 2021 were anywhere near the top…go figure right?!? I didn’t write enough.
But my most read post for 2021 with over 2000 views was written November 12, 2018 entitled When The Walls Of Stress Tear You Down
That really surprised me!
Anyhow. I hope everyone had a safe New Year’s get together with family and or friends. Here’s to being FEARLESS in 2022!
Amen, Stu! May we always live for the Lord courageously. I agree about that movie Shang-Chi. I watched that with my son a few days ago. We both liked it a lot. Happy New Year, brother!

Great word for the year, Stu! 👏👏👏
I think the Understanding Women is a great idea! 😱 Problem is, it depends on the questions, because Mom is not your typical woman (she’s a million times better, in my opinion 💕) and women are so freaking complicated for even other women to understand 🙄

Congratulations on your award! You definitely deserve it. 💜
I’m sorry you didn’t get to go to the funeral. Praying you get your car this year. 🙏🏻
Ohmygoodness, I would definitely be interested in working with you on that if you are serious. 😱😁 Women are complicated 🤦🏻♀️, but I know every single kind. I’ve had as many sister in-laws as a box of donuts. Some are crazy as… well, I think I can help you out here. 😉 Bring it! 😎
Happy New Year Brandon! 🎉 (talk dad into $50 next time 😉😁)

God tells us so many times to “fear not.” Must be a good reason. Glad you clamped onto this one, Stu, and looking forward to reading all the ways God teaches you what Fearless means.
