Almost a New Year

I can't believe when I wake up in the morning it will be 2009 (no I don't stay up until midnight to ring it in). 2009! Wow, aren't we suppose to drive flying cars by now, or have them drive us?

I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions. I never keep them anyway. There are lots of things I should resolve to do, but I'd rather just see what comes my way. Does anyone else have anything they'd like to accomplish in the new year?

In a few weeks my little girl turns 15! Yes, Shareen will be 15 and will hopefully get her permit. I can't believe how fast every year goes by!

Well, I hope everyone has a happy and safe new year's eve.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Grieving

I am grieving for a friend now who has lost her baby. This is a hard time of year for me, oddly at a time when I should feel comforted in Christ and at peace, it is a very difficult and lonely time for me. So news like this is very hard for me. I can't even imagine how my friend feels. So sad. I feel I never have the right words for situations like this. I always tell my friends "I don't have the words..." I guess they know me enough to know I'm thinking of them and praying for them. I have friends who will be moving far away soon, friends with sicknesses, with financial problems, marital problems, the list goes on and on. I even feel the strains in my own marriage and relationships, and with myself. When will be able to leave this world and be with the Savior? Lord, I'm ready!

Disney World

Here are a few pics from Disney World. It was exhausting, but we had a great time.
