Merry Christmas!
December 24th, 2009
As 2009 comes to a close and we gather with family and friends to celebrate in the coming days, I would like to take a moment just to be grateful for all that has happened in the last year, in no particular order:
* For NE Ohio, the recession seems to be coming to an end. We have seen many companies begin to thrive and many who have been out of work have gone back to work or found new jobs.
* TKG has had an amazing year of change and growth, the future looks bright!
* Our families have seen many blessings this year, with the births of three TKG babies, and two more on the way. It is awesome to see so many people really embracing life this way.
* Even as the recession threatened to bury our auto industry, all three major makers survived, with Ford Motor Company battling through without any government funding. I am grateful that these companies survived for the sake of all of thier employees.
* We were witness to great acts of heroism in Captain Sullivan landing his plane on the Hudson, and our Navy saving Merchant Marines from pirates.
* As always, I remain thankful for the men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line everyday to protect and preserve our lives, as well as our freedom. They are constantly in the prayers of my entire family.
* After some trying health issues in the family, well being seems to have been restored.
Christmas has always been a time of prayer and worship for me and my family. I am thankful for all the blessings the Lord has bestowed upon me and my wife, Amy (their names are MaryKate, Tom, Sam, Julia, Anna and Baby Peter who is due in March). I will pray that every one of you has a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
