Christian Yoga?

We are still early in the new year and that means that many folks are starting their diets, exercising at the health club, and otherwise keeping their New Year's Resolutions.

Among the 'exercises' that many people, even Christians, have taken up either as a New Year's Resolution or just because they want to is
         
             Yoga.

I have had discussions with several Christians about Yoga and they all try to say that it is 'just another form of exercise.'

But is it?

As the New Year begins, many are contemplating New Year Resolutions --

One of those Resolutions likely includes something like "to Get closer to God and do daily meditations"

The click through today will help you do that.

He was a British Preacher who lived from 1834 to 1892.

Wow ! It's 2020 !!!

Well, it is that time of the year again --The time when the old year ends and a new year begins.

And, as this is being uploaded to the web, the famous Times Square New Year’s Eve ball has just dropped. And 2020 has begun !

Some people ignore the event and just sleep through it.

          BUT

Many folks saw the new year “in” while in prayer.

Others celebrate the coming of the new year in crazed and drunken parties.

Still others will be at home alone or with family or friends or at calmer parties but stop to watch via TV the Ball Drop in Times Square.

And, each year that ball gets larger, more ornate, more impressive, and more expensive.

As you probably know, the Ball is now made of (gasp) Waterford Crystal !

And speaking of the The Ball drop in New York City.

Everyone loves it.

But how did this tradition get started?
