Random Acts and God’s Plan For Our Lives
New Year's Eve is a special time for our family. We always enjoy sending the old year packing and welcoming in a fresh New Year. Some years are a joy to see go while others have been like old friends we hate to see leave. Since 2014 had been a so-so year, we simply waved "bye-bye" and shot off some fireworks.
