In our church fellowship it has been a sad year and a transitional year. Of the five elders that I served with in the leadership at the end of 2013, only I remain. The biggest loss was the death of Charlie Cook who was a mentor, ultimate shepherd, good friend of 40 years and great example of a christian businessman. The whole left by him is not replaceable by one man but maybe six. We are 'looking for them. Our church group needs to reach the younger members better and in a more relevant manner. That is the work of this new year.
Our family is in good shape health wise and the grandkids continue to be a delight. Our kids are excelling in their jobs and preparing for bigger things to come. At Christmas we announced that the entire family will spend a week in Florida this year since the grand kids are a good age for Disney.
It was a great last six months all things considered, but the best is yet to come.
