2009

This is the last blog post of 2009. Wow! What a year it's been. During this year our family has been through changes and have learned many things together. One of the most important lessons learned was that we really can trust people in our minister/church role. The hurts of the past are almost completely gone, they are certainly forgiven and mostly forgotten. The love that we feel towards a new congregation is intense and real. It's an amazing feeling.

But, we have learned things about ourselves as well. We can make it through the hard times and be better on the other side. We can do things that we never thought possible. We can be happy with so little even when frustration takes over.

2009 was good. Nope, everything wasn't exactly as we had planned, but everything is exactly as it should be. I hope you can say the same thing about your life. I'm looking forward to 2010. See you then..................Be Safe, and please if you drink during your celebrating tonight, please, please, please, DON'T DRIVE. Call someone for a ride or designate a driver, but please don't drink and drive because while the life you save may be your own, it may also be someone's daughter, son, husband, wife, mother, father, but most certainly it will be someone that is loved!
