The word January comes from the Latin word ianua, which means \u201cdoor.\u201d People would perceive this month as a door to a brand new year.<br \/>\nRecently we had very cold, windy days in Colorado. It most certainly felt like we were in the below-zero range. In our entryway at home, the cold wind blowing was palpable: The seal around our front door had been broken and needed replacing. It made me think, What if we didn\u2019t have a door? How much colder it would be. Snow drifts could invade our living room. Unknown people could come and go. Newspapers and garbage could blow into my home. A door is an entry point, to be sure, but it also protects. It keeps out the wind. It keeps us safe and warm.<br \/>\nSo then it was fun to be camping out on this verse from John, one of Jesus\u2019 \u201cI am\u201d statements. I love that Jesus says He is the door. I am grateful He is my Door\u2014our Door. My Door is my safeguard\u2014shielding my life from the garbage that I come into contact with each day. My Door gives me a point of reference\u2014He points the way home and is in fact the Way. I\u2019m glad I know and have my Door.<br \/>\nI pray that as you enter 2016 you enter through the Door that is truly the Way and the Life\u2014a very good way to begin a new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI am the door.
