Christmas and A New Year.

I think Christmas Eve service is my absolute favorite church service of the entire year. My favorite part is when the little ones get up there and sing their hearts out.

This year has been full of blessings for me. There have been a lot of challenges, legal and medical, but I'm going to come through to the other side even better because of the lessons.

2025 was my year is what I had said and, in a way, it was.

It was full of miracles, growth, and the most significant and genuine restart.

I got back into recovery, back into church, baptized, rededicated my life, and my optimism for 2026 is so powerful, it won't be stopped.

I've done some planning and some things have just recently happened that are going to result in even more growth, not only for myself, but for some of those closest to me.

I won't elaborate. Some things are better left unsaid. The stunned reactions will be worth the silence.
