In a few days it will be Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish "new year"-my friend Chad Elliott has a blog entry about Rosh HaShanah that explains what this time of year is better than I could....

But Rosh is important to me in that it was the first public appearance (Rosh HaShanah 2009) that I made after my surgeries and all of the medical crises of the previous 18 months. It was so wonderful that I got a chance to be with my friends at CBS and to finally get out of the house (other than visiting Dr. Metersky). The significance of Rosh is that it is a time of introspection and getting back to God (the "Ten Days of Awe"). That is the other reason that I picked it to be the date of my return-a time of introspection remembering what God had done for me and the celebration of my return to Him.
So for those who are reading, during this period of time please take some time out and reflect on what God has done for you and if you have strayed from Him, please come back to Him!
