2008

Well, 2008 draws to a close. Another year in the history of the world, hardly a blink of an eye in the time line of our God.

2008 contains many highlights for our family, the most notable of which would be the marriage of two siblings;

My bro, Scott married Kaleena in June;


And my sister married her "childhood sweetheart", Justin, in May;





And this Thanksgiving my sister Kristi got engaged to Brenton! Wedding is set for March.


So this Christmas will be interesting as siblings and their respective "significant others" are off doing their own thing. But a small holiday gathering of my other brother and I and my parents will be fun too. :-)

I've learned so much this year. The biggest things being that I have a plethora of things to learn yet! God is so good and gracious to continue His work in my life. I'm thankful for His patience!

2009 will be interesting year as a president aimed at "change" takes the reigns. Change, I'm sure you, reader, and I could do without. But it will make for an interesting and eventful 4 years. We'll see if we are all still here by the end of it. :-) But I'm excited to see what God will do with His Church during this time, and I'm praying that it will be a time of great growth for His body. Regardless - His kingdom moves on!

Well, I sincerely hope that you all had a very blessed 2008 and a that you will have a wonderful 2009!

Congratulations to Kristi on her engagement! That's wonderful--I had no idea! Did they meet at your church?

Thanks Renee! I'll pass that on to her...Yes they did meet at church - in the college group. He's a very neat guy, so we are pretty excited for her. :-) I hope you had a good Christmas!
