Abide

"What's your word of the year?"

This challenge came from our Christian radio station - to find a personal theme word of the year. I already had it. While I cringe at the idea that the Lord is bound by our calendar or that He communicates with everyone the same way, the past few years He has given me words, concepts that He impresses on me. First it was "holy" as He taught me about His holiness, and then it was "grace," both His for me and the grace I'm to show to others.

This year it's "abide."...
