A New Year

New Year’s Day. A day for reflection over events of the past and to express hope for the future.


Last year was much blessed for us as a couple and as a family. The highlight was the birth of our first grandchild. Reece came into the world October 27th. What a wonderful blessing he is.

Another highlight was the closeness of our family. What a precious gift family is.

Mary and I enjoyed a Caribbean cruise in late August and early September. Mary has wanted a cruise since before I met her over forty years ago. She finally got it. What a wonderful memory we share over that experience.

My hopes for this year:     Continued growth as a family

                                       Travel for Mary and I

                                       Peace in the world

                                       An end to hunger and disease

                                       An end to apathy in the world

                                       A growing economy with jobs for all

                                       A U.S. government that works and is responsive

                                      An awakening with thanksgiving to the presence of God and His many blessings

Peace
