I’m quoting Glenn Beck now. Well, paraphrasing actually. He made an observation on his holiday show that struck Wendell and I as particularly profound. He said he views the holiday season as a trilogy.

It starts with Thanksgiving, when we bend our knee to God in humility and gratitude.

From that vantage point, we are better able to see Jesus lying in the manger.

And, only by truly seeing Jesus can we find the power to keep a New Year’s resolution.

Thus, the trilogy.

No matter what you think of Glenn Beck or Fox News in general, this is an amazing truth. Bow the knee, lift the eyes, find the power.

Happy New Year.
