Yay! The last day of 2023 was numbered 12-31-23. Aw! 123-123! That sounds like a waltz to me — dancing right on into 2024! And, if we choose God as our dance partner on this 1st day of January through to December 31st, 2024, we’ll be conquering throughout this new year! An entire year of…
Lunar New Year 2023 – the Year of the Rabbit
“Happy New Year!” That’s what we said to our hostess at Pao’s Chinese Restaurant on Sunday. The moment we said those words, her eyes brightened.

A Happy and Blessed New Year to You and Yours
I really mean it when I say: “Happy and Blessed New Year!” Oh that I were a wise prophet promising that 2022 is going to be a banner year of multiplied blessings for all. I’m not a prophet, but I assure you that God promised an abundant life to us (John 10:10), so we might…
Happy New Year and My Predictions
Whew! And praise the Lord! We came, we saw, we conquered!

Are We There Yet?
Happy New Year! Yes, we are there! 2019 came in like a breath of fresh air – especially if you walked outside at the midnight hour to light some firecrackers or simply to take in 2019 from the outside in. Now, an entire year of awesomeness awaits us. The squares on our 2019 calendars are…
Happy NEW Year — NEW is the Word of the Day

The Best Part of a New Year? A Clean Slate!
A happy and blessed 2017 is my prayer for all of my FB friends and family today! Being the body-guard for my two youngest grandsons was no less charged with anticipation and celebration than any other year for the last twelve years. We had lots of fun making videos (or should I say, Brennan made…
Thinking Back and Looking Forward
It’s the 365th day of 2016. I made it!!! 365 days of posting a positive word for my FB friends and family. After all, there’s enough negativity in social media with politics, the weat her, the economy, the disappointments many speak about or vent about in their relationships. Once upon a time, I didn’t want…
