Why does the year begin in Winter?
Happy New Year. After enjoying unseasonably warm temperatures during the month of December we have been greeted with unseasonably cold temperatures to start the year. Why do we start the New Year in winter? New Year is a time for new things. Yet, it begins when all the vegetation is dead. Seems like Spring would be a better time for New Year. I know what you're thinking - it's not cold and dead everywhere. I know, I lived in Arizona for five years. But, in the great paradox of God's truth life begins with death.

Ah, nice closing! The paradox of trading Jesus' death for our eternal lives. And the greatest miracle of all - resurrection - could never have happened without first the death.
