New Year's Slogan Bank

I am a fan of New Year's slogans. Every year, churches produce this slogans as an optimistic view on the new year. Some may be prophetic, some may provide hope, and others may simply be gas.

Note: This is not me making fun of churches that use these to expect big things in the year to come, it's just me being an idiot. I'm all about and encourage believing for big things in the year to come.

But, we have many years ahead and we don't have that kind of time to sit and labor on potential slogans for the new years to come. So why dont' we go ahead and get some of these out of the way now. Some of us at Trailhead (mainly myself, Hillary, and Ashley) have already started this process and I encourage you to participate and add your own. So through my own creativity and the help of an online rhyming dictionary, I think we can know future slogans for years to come without having to spend too much time in the future worrying ourselves (because I know it keeps me up at night).

I know 2007 has passed, but a friend of mine reminded me of one he had a couple of years ago and it made me laugh......again: Our engines will be revvin' in 2007
