Happy New Year!

Hello, Stretched Readers.

Welcome to 2012!

As I type this, it is 12:34 AM (EST), and I am getting ready to pick up the kids from a New Year’s Eve celebration at our church.

As I think about 2011, I am so thankful for many milestones…continued healing for my wife, 15 years of marriage, 15 years at Siemens, two growing kids, my 40th birthday, a marathon, and many happy memories with family and friends – including new friends made via the blogging community.  I can honestly say that 2011 was a great year.

I don’t know what 2012 has in store.  I believe it is promising!  As I make my plans and goals for 2012, my prayer is that they would be God’s plans.  I want to grow closer to God in 2012.  I want to pray bigger and bolder prayers in 2012.  And I want to honor God more in 2012.

That’s all, I’ve got!  Happy New Year!

I can’t wait to see what happens this year!
