Well I guess this is the last post for the year.  Looking back on the year many things have happened and well... changed, friendships, relationships, goals, thoughts, motivations, and even my walk with the Lord.  In some ways (as all good baptists are) I am afraid of change.  In retrospect I think change can be healthy.  I will have to admit when I started this break I was a bit aprehensive about coming back to NY.  There are things, people, and memories which I would love to change, bugt I guess that is what most things do with age... change. 
     This Christmas has been interesting.  I was planning on spending some time with my father, but he had planned to go south to Tenn for a while to see about buying a place down there.  I think the lack of planns came from me not fully telling him what I was going to do.  Oh well I guess it worked out well because I was able to  spend some time with one of my favorite families.  They are like a second family to me.  It is nice because there are 2 Godly parets, fun children, and a  friend who I am still trying to figure out who she really is.  We used to be best friends and talk for hours on end.  Now it has been reduced to talk of the weather and picking on each other.  I thought she was going to be engaged this winter, but I don't know.  Last year at this time she was twiterpated over him and all that stuff.  Oh well not my folder to look in. 
     It has always been a struggle for me to get to everyone's house to do christmas with them and be able to spend time with them.  This year was good for the most part.  I think everyone did Christmas on a different day.  I tell you it was a blessing being able to be in church last sunday.  I hope I can get back down this next sunday I have my lesson all done and am anxious to hear what the teacher is going to be talking about with regard to Titus 2.  I plan to write more, but I think I am going to play rook with my mom and dave.  Till then -AJ
