Happy New Year!!

Friends -- I've been out of touch for awhile. The holidays have kept me busy, as I am sure you have been too.

Christmas morning brought Jason and his family from Arkansas to join Steve & his wife here with us. Amid laughter, presents and eating, we took a few pictures. Check them out here.

I don't know why I felt surprise when 2010 arrived right on schedule. I remember when I was a child, 2010 seemed an impossiblity. Now the future is here. It came whether I was ready or not. Now, I must re-adjust my thinking to face the days ahead. I look forward to what this year may bring. Surprises, no doubt , and many days that will be much the same as before. In any case, God will always be God; gracious & kind, loving & merciful, faithful & forgiving.

Here's wishing all of us a very Happy New Year!!
