January 2010 Highway Won Update

I have talked to many people about the end of this year and the beginning of the next and everyone agrees that it seems that 2009 has passed very quickly. In fact so has this entire decade! It seems that just the other day everyone was concerned about Y2K and all that entailed, and here it is 10 years later already. It didn’t seem that long ago either that I thought of this coming year way back in 1992 after the birth of my daughter, realizing that she would be graduating from high school in that “distant year,” and here it is, ready or not! One thing that has been reinforced in my life in 2009 and all the difficulties we have faced this year is that the unknown, the future, though a scary thing, is in the hands of a loving, good, just, and righteous God, and that makes all the difference in approaching this new year. As one of the magnets in our store says, “Don’t worry about tomorrow; God is already there!” External circumstances, the economy, and other similar things would make us all run and cower under our beds if we didn’t have assurance in God of His comfort and presence with us through everything that we will face in 2010. At this time of year I look back for hope from a favorite passage, Isaiah 43:18-19: “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Let’s not dwell on our failures and trials that 2009 brought, but rather look ahead to 2010 with confidence in an awesome God who can and will make all things new, even if it takes a miracle. We appreciate your prayers for us as we look ahead with confidence to what He will do in and through Highway Won this next year! –TK

So What’s New?

There are a lot of specials running in the store right now we’d like to encourage you to take advantage of. We have more Christmas items, books, music and boxed cards left over than we wanted there to be, so all of them are on clearance (boxed cards are 25% off and all other Christmas items are 40% off). We also have a lot of 2010 calendars left as well, and those are on sale for 25% off. All of our devotional books are 10% off. We also are reaching the end of our Bible sale which has been running since the beginning of November; we will extend it a bit longer but soon the prices will be returning to normal. They are currently between 10-20% off. Please take advantage of these specials!

One reminder to our locals and visitors: The graciously delayed construction project along Main Street in Cambria’s West Village including in front of our store will most likely begin in January. They promise that everyone will still be able to get through and access the stores, so please don’t stay away just because of the construction. We look forward to serving you all the more effectively in 2010, and from all of us here at Highway Won, Happy New Year!!

“May He also reign from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!” Psalm 72:8 (NASB)

Merry Christmas!

Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke 2:10-14, NKJV)
