Even though it feels like 2023 just started, it is already 2024!!! I remember discussing the challenges of keeping New Year resolutions for 2023, and it is time to start making resolutions for 2024.

Yes, I did resolve to do the 365 day journey of “Bible in a Year” with Father Mike Schmitt. Well, the bad news is that I did not finish all 365 days by December 31st. However, the GREAT news is I am on day 350, so just 15 days left to go! I have resolved to complete the course this week! 😉

I was exploring ways to wish you a Happy New Year. I got very lucky because a very good friend made it easy by sending me the wonderful “airplane story” below. Here’s wishing you and your families and friends a truly special 2024!!!
