Beginnings
 
I love beginnings, do-overs, second chances, and I believe we get as many as we want. 
 
Matthew (aka Levi), on a two-word request from Jesus, turned his back on a lucrative business and a fair amount of wealth (he was a tax collector) and became a devoted follower, never looking back.
 
My point:  Today is a new day.  It is also the start of a new month, as well as the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year.  Go ahead, take your new beginning, and enjoy the transformation. — jri
 
“After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax
collector by the name of Levi sitting at his
tax booth.  ‘Follow me,’ Jesus said to him,
and Levi got up, left everything and
followed him.”
