HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS!
Hang on, why are you reading this?
GO! Enjoy your family and friends! Sleep in. Have a late, long breakfast. Play cricket with your kids (how Aussie are we?). Go for a walk with your love. Binge Netflix. Make some phone calls. Write a letter. Play a joke on your brother. Cook your neighbor a cake… Do whatever it is that brings joy to your life and to others.
Take some time to reflect on 2016 and dream into 2017.
Do you have any “New Year” rituals? We'd love to hear them!! Email us at talktous@pktfuel.com
We hope and pray that you’ve had a beautiful Christmas and New Year season. If it was filled with joy, we celebrate with you. If it was difficult and heartbreaking, we mourn with you. Sending you all our love and prayers.

PRAYER OF HOPE
by John Philip Newell
“O God of life,
who chooses creation over chaos
and new beginnings over emptiness,
we bring to you the disorder of our nations and world
and the emptiness of our lives and relationships.
Bless us and the nations with the grace of creativity.
Bless us and all people with the hope of new beginnings.”
Much love, Lizzy Milani.

Happy New Year to you as well. Any suggestions for a Netflix binge? Also, I recently heard John Phillip Newell on a podcast and was totally taken by him and his thoughts about Celtic Christianity. Which of his books you would recommend?

DAVE!!!! Thank you so much. You guys are endlessly encouraging!! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! I’ve been “laying low,” totally giving into my introverted side. ha!
OK – John Philip Newell. I’ve started with “Christ of the Celts,” and it is amazing! I think you and Kathy would love it.
Netflix binge: Oh Gosh. This shows my true colours. haha!! I just finished “The Crown.” “Westwing” is my go-to (seen the whole series 2.5 times… and may have named our son Sam after Sam seaboard… maybe…). I love “Sherlock” (the BBC Series, not the movies). If you can track it down somewhere, Stephen Kings “11.22.63” is epic. “Better Call Saul” is a favourite of Jesse’s, as is “The Path” (but I think that’s only available on Hulu). I’m a “Homeland” fan, and we both LOVE “The Walking Dead.” “Stranger Things” is awesome. And on the darker side of things, “The Killing” and “Broadbeach” are awesome. (I also may have binged 7 seasons of Dexter earlier in 2016… and didn’t regret it too much).
Much Love to you guys!
