2024 has come to an end. So much has happened within this month in our local and surrounding communities. Yes, some good, bad, happy, sad, discouraging and encouraging events occurred to us all, in one way or another. No matter what may come my way, I have decided to continue to grow in my walk with Jesus Christ. He has expanded my capacity to genuinely love everyone in word and deed. Let us all commit to loving one another more and more. (1 John 4:16)
