As the New Year begins, my mind is going in a lot of different directions. 

My oldest daughter (Amanda), is 8 ½ months pregnant.  Since her baby is scheduled to be born in our home, Phyllis and I are preparing nightly just in case. 

My youngest (Haley), just finished driving school.  She wants to go get her permit. 

My daughter, Jeniece, turned 23 on Dec. 31.  She went to New York to watch the Ball drop in Times Square. 

My sons Luke and Micah are on a break from college, so they are home with not much to do. 

My mother’s dementia and Alzheimer’s is advancing rapidly.  I see her in a lockdown facility often.  My brother has just been released from drug rehab.  Another brother is recovering from his 4^th surgery to remove a tumor from his throat.  I was recently diagnosed with a very treatable skin cancer on the top on my head (nothing real serious).

Besides all this, I am looking forward to 2010 at our church.  Our pastoral staff retreat January 5,6 will involve prayer and fasting, as will our January 11^th day of prayer and fasting for our staff, elders and deacons. 

My hope is that in 2010 we will experience a revival in soul winning and a great movement in the Holy Spirit among all KACC attendees.  In fact, one of my prayers is that we will see at least one soul saved everyday at KACC.  Daily salvations occurred in the New Testament church (Acts 2:47; Acts 16:5).  Let’s unite together behind this vision and goal. 

May He be glorified through it all.
