The year 2007 is here and it is about time for us to dwell on love, faith and understanding through the years. We need to be unselfish as we try to help each other to reform and reach national reconciliation as at the solution to all political, social and economic struggles that haunt our lives. We must detach from financial slavery for all we need is love and unity for a better and fulfilling life. These troubles in our life are man-made; thus, we are the sole solvers to those problems. Amidst everything, let us therefore hope and pray to the Lord above that He will shower us with His blessings and give us good health and more strength that we may become courageous in facing the New Year.
