What a game. It was one of those games where you didn't want either team to loose. And though I am a Green Bay fan, I am a Giants fanatic. With only the slightest bit of regret because of all my friends in Hayward, I was a very happy camper yesterday evening. It was a crazy final few minutes of regulation and overtime. My phone kept ringing. My son, who is now stationed down in Mississippi, called several times to talk about high points and low points and missed calls. I heard from several friends back in Hayward, in fact Rollie called to watch the field goal kick in overtime and because his cable feed was about 4 seconds ahead of mine, he offered my a very gracious congratulations before I saw the ball being snapped from center. Thanks Rollie. And congratulations to all the Green Bay fans on an excellent season and a truly class football team.
Now lets hope all experts continue to give the Giants no chance to win like they have the last three weeks and see if the G-Men can be the fly in the Patriots ointment down in Arizona.

Happy New Year
Well its the start of a another new year and the start to another new job. After three and a half years in Wisconsin, we find ourselves in Nebraska. It was very hard leaving all the friends we made there behind but I know there are many new friends here in Columbus that we just haven't met yet.
I haven't posted in a while due to all the packing, moving and regular holiday hubbub that comes along every year. But we made the move without incident and are getting nicely settled into our new apartment. I need to take a moment to remember my daughter Annette. One year ago yesterday, the Lord called her home. There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't grieve her passing. I miss her so much. She was so special in so many ways. She was challenged, but never submitted to her challenges, she never gave in and she never gave up. Things for her in this life were never going to be the way she imagined them, they were never going to be the way she longed for them to be but that never stopped her from dreaming that some day her dreams would come true. She was just shy of her thirty-second birthday and left two young sons behind. But she left them with her mom. They will be well cared for and loved. Annette, you did your job. Your dreams did come true and now you can rest from your labors in the loving arms of your Lord and Savior. I know you accepted Jesus into your life and I know in my heart that He has taken you into His care. I am happy for you honey.

Merry Christmas
Just a short note to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, especially all the wonderful folks in the Hayward community who have taken my wife and me into their hearts and made us family.
In addition to the usual hustle and bustle that accompanies Christmas, this year we are also in the midst of packing for a move to Nebraska. My project here in Wisconsin is finished and I'll be starting on a new one in Nebraska right after the first of the year. In the 30 plus years that I have been tramping around the country doing this kind of work, this is by far the hardest move I have ever had to make.
The other night, some friends presented us with a note book, signed by a lot of friends from the Wesleyan church and from our friends in recovery. After reading the thoughts and feelings of the people who have come to be family to us (and without a dry eye in the house) my wife said, "If its like this every time we move, I don't think I can do this." I told her, "I hope it's just like this every time we move." As much as it hurts, leaving friends and family behind, "I wouldn't have missed it for the world."
Merry Christmas and God Bless.
