Happy New Year!

Light blogging today while we visited friends, finished off some final gift exchanges and watched the Pac-10 complete a perfect 5-0 bowl season against the hapless Big-10 challengers.

We pray for success for our new President in the coming year. He faces great challenges. But let us not forgot that our country overcame greater challenges in the twentieth century when we survived a great depression, not just a recession, defeated fascism and then communism. This is a great country and continues to be so because of our ideals of freedom, democracy and rule of law.
