“May the father of all mercies scatter light, and not darkness, upon our paths, and make us in all our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way everlastingly happy.”

George Washington (1790)

May this post find you in good health, with God’s blessings, and a calm finish to this year, while you also have a healthy and happy outlook towards the New Year.

And with that, I close another year of blogging. Sorry it’s been scarce. I’ll RESOLVE to do better next year.

Hey, speaking of resolutions – remember these resolutions from this year?

I feel I have lived more for God and less for me. If you don’t think so, please let me know how you perceive how I’ve lived this last year, compared to previous years. I want to improve.

I have, for the most part, given up soda. Except for the occasional drink. I am down from 228 to 210ish. I still have a ways to go.

I posted a picture or three of places I have gone where it has been posted they do not allow weapons (in particular, they do not allow revolvers with a red circle around them and a slash through them. it’s ok, my semi-automatic is not a revolver, and there are no red geometric shapes anywhere near it). I refrained from posting pictures that could land me in federal prison. Yes, I am currently carrying concealed as I sit here in my house typing this post. Can you guarantee my safety in my own house? I can and do guarantee the safety of my wife and daughter whenever I am with them.
