Happy and Blessed New Year!  I love your faithfulness and anticipation for what the Lord has in store for you in 2008.  Paul’s words of forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what lies ahead is one of my favorite scriptures, and a constant reminder of God’s ultimate faithfulness.  You continue to be in my prayers, Dave, Irene and Girls.  May you just enjoy the presence of our Lord, wrapping yourselves up in his warm, gentle arms of love!
