I am not one that puts a lot of stock in our constructs of time. Of course days, weeks, seasons and years were all established by God, but what about months -- aren't these man-made constructs? I am also not a fan of considering the "first" of anything more significant than any other day -- first of the year, first of the month, etc ... don't even get me going on News Years Resolutions!
But in our modern fast-paced, Day-Timer, list-of-things-to-do world, any chance to turn the calendar page and begin a fresh clean period of time matters. I just don't buy it for myself.
That being said, Happy August! It sounds likes it's gonna be a hot one.

One of the trusty passages of scripture on topic is Romans 14:5, "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind." Amen! (Incidentally, I'm not up with the New Year's resolution thing, either; any time is the right time to decide to do what's right.) Regarding weather: it is definitely a hot one here!!!
yeah, thanks for that thoughtful comment.
