The end of one year and the beginning of a new year is always significant. For some people they look back on the past year and see it as an annus horribilis which contained many unpleasant experiences. For others it is a time to reflect on the goodness of God in allowing them to still be alive and enjoying the benefits of His love, mercy and grace.

In the following blog articles I have tried to describe the effects of the decision I made near midnight on New Year’s Eve in 1958.

Wishing you all a “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” in 2025!
In His love,
Jim
