This year has been one of changes and challenges.  And yet, we sit year on the verge of a new year with a God that has been faithful in the past.  With this in mind, I hope that we all are looking forward to this next year.  God will still carry us through it.  Will it have some of the same struggles?  Will we go through even more upheavals?  Or will this year be one of recovering and rejoicing? 

   I want to take this time to wish all who are reading this a very Merry Christmas and I hope that you will have one filled with the wonder of the year.  It truly is the most wonder full time of the year.
