As the end of the year approaches with incredible speed, it seems that it is a good time to look back over the past year and reflect. This last year has seen both advances and setbacks, just like all other years.
Anthony and Bridgett were united in marriage in January.
Phillip and Kat were joined in marriage at the beginning of April, and my cousin Alisha married Justin at the end of April.
We had Bro. and Sis. Traylor come through earlier this year and preach for a few days. The preaching was excellent.
We had one family leave our church in July, but we had our first fifth Sunday in July, and a great time was had.
I bought a new car in August, went to a wedding in Michigan at the beginning of October, and went to Mantle Conference in Kansas City at the end of the same month.
I went to my Aunt and Uncle's house for Thanksgiving, while my Mom and Dad went to Kansas City to be with my Phillip and Kat.
In December, we had our annual Christmas banquet/party, visited my Aunt, Uncle, Grandparents, and cousins for Christmas, and are now in Jefferson City, MO visiting my Grandma and other family for New Years as we could not get together over Christmas.
I pray that everyone has a safe and happy New Year. May Jesus Christ be nearer to you this year than He was last.
