So am I the only one that feels as if this coming decade is not as big of a deal as decades past have been??? I mean, after the big event that was 2000, how will the Teens compare???

I remember where I was on this evening ten years ago...I was working for a car dealer in Grayling, Michigan and that night I stayed after and shampooed the interior of a 1988 Ford Taurus for one of the managers. I was there till about 10:30, and was actually having a good time, the radio was playing a New Years party type thingy, so it was all good.

It's so hard to believe that ten years have flown past! I mean, I have been back in Michigan ten years, it seems like yesterday that I was living in Florida.

Anyways, I wonder what the next decade will hold??? Will I find a someone special??? Will I find that promising career??? Will I be able to fulfill the calling that I like to believe that is on my life???  Lots of questions, lots of hope.

I truly hope that the coming year and decade brings lots of blessings to each of you.

Here's to the next ten years...

With Love,
Your Friend Always,

Why does it always seem that bad things happen around this time of year??? I mean, this is supposed to be the Happiest Time and such, and certainly a time to pause and thank God for sending us Jesus.

You see, my mom's youngest brother, my Uncle Ronnie, has terminal cancer. In fact, he was only given two years to live, three years ago. Well, my mom and dad just returned from going to visit him, and mom says he doesn't look too good at all. If you all would, please keep him in prayer, my mom is convinced that that is all that has kept him here this long, and I agree. Please pray that God will use all of this to reach the rest of my family as well.

Thank you all.

-Richard.
