Happy New Year!!!

I normally spend New Year's Day at my dad's annual cookout; however, this year my brother, John (pictured above), and I attended the 2005 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. John received a couple of tickets for Christmas and invited me to go. We both missed the great food that is always enjoyed at the cookout, but we really enjoyed the game too. Both of us are Florida State Seminole fans and the Noles beat West Virginia 30-18.

I really had a great time watching the game and the fellowhip with my brother. I hope that the start of 2005 was a great time for you too.

Praise the Lord for a new year that will be filled with opportunities for each of us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's make the best of every opportunity.
