Friends, I wish you a very Merry Christmas today! May the Christ who brought Christmas to the world be exalted on this wonderful day of remembrance of His coming.

Growing up, I remember thinking how very far off a year number like “2000” seemed. Yet, in a week’s time, the calendar will roll over to 2016. I know we all share in that sentiment of finding it hard to believe how quickly time passes.

God loves you and me and that’s what brought about Christmas. God’s love sent Jesus into the world to be our savior. I pray that 2016 will be a truly wonderful and meaningful year for each of you and that God’s love without measure shown in His Christmas gift of His Son will guide your decisions and paths.

Again, Merry Christmas!!

Next time, we’ll have some more stock talk.
