When Betsy and Sean came to see us over thanksgiving we went to Raton. This is us on top of the Capulain volcano east of town. The Rocky Mountains are in the far background.
I’m planning an early morning walk with my dog Annie. I’ll treat myself to an apple crumble at Flying Star. I’ll talk with family on the phone. It will be a good day and the start of a good New Year!
sixty six has been a really good year. Betsy and Sean’s wedding was such a wonderful time. So many family and friends. We treasure our families. John and Gail and I went to India and had a marvelous trip and shared such good things together. Johnny and Molly came for Christmas and it was wonderful to be with them.
As it nears my birthday I often get pensive. This year is no exception. I first remember birthdays as a child. The year my Daddy made me an ice skating rink in the back yard always stands out.
I think of my family and miss those who have gone on. I think of my family and smile thinking of all those present. I think of the work I’m doing and those along the way. I think of the time 500 people at a conference sang happy birthday to me! This year will be quieter. I have a Session meeting midday. I have a concert to attend. I have a sermon to finish.
It shall be a good year
god abide
