Some said the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world, but doomsday, December 21, came and went. But not without incident. In this part of the world, a beautiful rainbow painted a glorious arch across the early morning sky. A sign perhaps. As the story goes, after the Flood, the rainbow was given as a sign of the Creator's covenant with Noah for a New Beginning. (Gen. 9:13-17.) Only hours from now, if we open our hearts, we may find another sign of a New Beginning: A Child in a manger. (Luke 2:7.) A sign of New Life. Of Hope.
