Probably like many of you, I spent some time reflecting at year's end and then planning for this new year. In fact, I am to report next week to the staff what my goals are for this year. My mind did take a bunny trail and I gave thought to longer range goals and about the future. Even further … what about forever? I found this list of things that last forever from David Murray and the good things are mine because of Christ and the bad things were mine. Makes me think that I would sure like to let some other people know what is ahead for them and what could be. How about you?
