AND WE FACE TOMORROW WITH

Scientific fact---as you grow older---the years seem to pass faster.  There were periods in life that time seemed to drag---whatever I was waiting for seemed an eternity away.  Here is another fact of life I have observed---as the point in time you are desiring becomes closer--time speeds up.  I KNOW---it is all in my head---thankful something is in there!  Here we are at the end of 2024.  This year has been a challenge for me---some years are easier than others.  So thankful for the moments of joy and laughter--even in the midst of struggle.    I have now been back in Fort Worth two years and a half years, this year has been full of change and struggle.  Much of what I speak---the blame is on my own back.  Off the point!  The point is---we are turning the pages of the calendar to 2025 tomorrow.  A symbolic point of reset--starting over.  We have traveled down these same days of the years before---some of us MANY times.  Tomorrow we start again and what 2025 holds in some cases is beyond our control, but in others is entirely up to us.  What does your future hold?

So---I leave you with this-

"May the God of hope 

fill you with all joy and peace in believing,

so that by the power of

the Holy Spirit

you may abound in hope."

Romans 15:13

HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS,
