It is crazy how quickly time goes by. If you’re like me I look back at the year we just had and ponder upon good memories and try not to think about the negatives. I then choose to think about what the new year may hold.

There is something exciting about new starts. The opportunity to try and meet goals that maybe we didn’t get in the previous ye …

Christmas means so much too many different people and for many different reasons. For some it is the time of being with family and friends.

Thanksgiving, a day to ponder upon everything that the Lord has blessed us with. Most of us are thankful more than just once a year for our wonderful families, our homes, the nation in which we live, and even for our jobs.
