How are you approaching New Year's Eve? Are you looking wearily back? Optimistically forward? Or are you living in the moment? Whatever your mood, there's a New Year's song for you.
If you're eager to tell 2012 to shove off, try "Thank God It's Over" by Jim's Big Ego.
If you hope that wishful thinking will make a difference for 2013, check out the new Rescues song "Everything's Gonna Be Better Next Year."
If you're focused on the ever-present now, then it's time for Ben Fold's "Picture Window."
What song fits your perspective?

Facebook Theology, Part 1
Sometimes I simply can't understand what people are thinking when they post crap on Facebook. Here's this morning's version:
What They Probably Thought When They Shared This Image: "Ooo... this mentions God! I like God! And it's upbeat, too. If I share this on Facebook, that will really cheer up everybody who's having a bad day!"
What It Made Me Want to Do: I want to comment on this post 100 times. The first 99 times would be links to news articles. Articles about children being shot by racists. Articles about a cop who raped a woman. Articles about a soldier who shot civilians. Articles about poverty. Articles about disease. Underneath that list of articles chronicling the latest horrors the world has cooked up for us, I would write, "Do you honestly believe that your God wants this? Do you think your God arranged all of this just to set the stage for something good that's going to happen to you later today? If you do, then you need to go to church and apologize."
What I Actually Did: Incoherently muttered and swore to myself in the manner of Yosemite Sam.
