I'm a little late writing or posting my year-end (or Christmas) letter. While 2011 was an overwhelmingly stressful year, I'm thankful for so much. First I'm thankful for my sons and how they've stayed by my side during all that is happened. My buddy and youngest son, Jonathan married his artistic and talented Soul-mate Ashley. I was honored to officiate their wedding with Pastor Tom Trimble in October.
I've enjoyed meeting new friends and co-workers. I was not as active as in years past with my ministry. But I was blessed to speak at several great churches as well as minister to the children and youth of the Kansas District at their Jr Youth Camp. I made a lot great friends there that have continued to be a blessing with their correspondence.
I had the opportunity to really see and be a part of Saint Louis. I spent a lot of time in Downtown Saint Louis, several events and plays at Forest Park, the Zoo and the museums. Spent a lot time biking at Creve Coeur Lake and various events around Saint Charles.
I started attending Winds of Pentecost in June. I appreciate my friends at the church, especially Mark Miller and James Ready. Thanks guys, you have helped me through a rough time. I appreciate Calvary Pentecostal Church and Brother and Sister Russell for all their support and for being my home church for the last four years. Brother Russell, you helped more than I can ever repay.
In the middle of it all, I lost 65 pounds, read a bunch of books, started this blog, almost completed the Superman/Super-Conqueror book that I've been working on for years and started writing what I think will be a book about "Divorce in the Apostolic Church."
It's been a year of heartache and sadness. The Devil even threw in one more good punch (more about that another time) on the 31st!. In spite of it all, it's also been a year of learning and self-discovery.
I'm looking forward to ALL that GOD has planned for me in 2012! No matter what it is, I know ....I'm not alone.
