Memorial Day is approaching.  Years ago, it was just another holiday, a day off from school and work.  In more recent years it has taken on more significance.  After having to bury a few friends this day has taken on more meaning.  My heart gets heavy when I remember them.

As you go to your barbecues and gatherings of family and friends, remember those who went and gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and love of country.

It has been much too long since I made an update here.  So much has happened since my last entry.  I have been to China and Korea for vacation.  I have started working again.  And, finally I have completed another orbit of the sun.

Once again, it has cone that time of the year that I become morbidly introspective and contemplative of my life.  I am now one score and a decade old.  As I reflect back, I wonder about all that has transpired.  The one conclusion that I have is that God has been gracious with me.  He has blessed me with talents and experiences that serve a purpose.  I continuously pray and ask God to reveal His purpose for my life.  More to come later.
