End of a year

Well, 2005 is almost over. We saw a lot of interesting things happen this year.


We lost some famous and infamous people:

A Pope died, and a new Pope was elected.
Peter Jennings passed away.
Johnnie Cochran in March.
Rosa Parks passed away in October.

We also lost Johnny Carson, Richard Pryor, Pat Morita, and Bob Denver.

We witnessed the struggle of Terri Shiavo, the release of Martha Stuart, and the destruction of the entire city of New Orleans.

We saw the White Sox win a world series.

From a personal aspect:

I saw two dear friends give birth to a beautiful baby girl.
I started writing a new book (which I still have yet to complete).
I was given the opportunity to grow and teach a great group of people.
I began the process of completing my Ministry degree.
I was able to baptize a friend.

This year has had it's ups and downs. They always do, don't they?

I pray that 2006 will provide great opportunities and experiences.
I pray that you (my faithful readers) will be blessed in many ways, and that you will use those blessings to in turn go out and bless others.
I pray that you would take the time to love yourself, love others, and love God.

best wishes,
